The EQ-2 from TL Audio is a two channel, tube based, four-band fully parametric equalizer that combines classic tube techniques with low noise solid state circuitry. The unit provides six valve stages per channel, one in each of the four EQ bands, followed by a pair in the output stage, all run from a stabilized 250VDC supply.
Each band on both channels provides variable frequency, gain and Q (bandwidth) controls. Additionally, the low and high frequency sections include options for shelving or peaking response. A stereo link switch allows for control of both channels from channel A, ideal for precise equalization of stereo sources and overall mixes.
The EQ-2 provides a pair of microphone preamps with individually switchable phantom power and insert points, post preamp and pre EQ. Front panel instrument connectors allow direct access to the channel inputs, eliminating the need for external direct injection boxes. These inputs are suitable for a variety of sources, including electric guitars, bass guitars, acoustic pickups, synthesizers, samplers and drum machines.
An output operating level switch is located on the rear panel allowing either -10dBu or +4dBu operation allowing the unit to be used in a wide variety of applications.
