 INSPIRATION

Back in the day, EQing was the essential finishing step in ensuring the quality of the vinyl pressing. But it's also the final touch to the overall tonal balance of your track. With the EQ169+, we've taken inspiration from the circuit topology of the Studer console to create the perfect master, bus or track tone-shaping tool.

3 MAIN FEATURES You WILL LOVE

Master the mids with 2 'Presence' filters for a total of 22 different frequencies from 150 to 7.000Hz.

Air out the highs with the very natural high shelf, tuned either at 20k or 35kHz.
