Classic Tube Equalizer

Bring back personality to your music
The Classic Tube Equalizer is the essence of the best Vintage equalizers. Six variable wave bands give you unimagined creativity for sound modelling. Because of the special layout the filters influence each other and therefore provide you with intuitive handling. You can focus on sound effects instead of controller positions. You don’t have to worry about limited modulation amplitudes or distortions. The classic circuit design with solely passive components in the filter banks always guarantees natural and musical results. The final output stage with tube and transformer offers further opportunities for sound modelling.

The Classic Tube Equalizer allows you to edit signals in a distinctly stronger way, without producing any disturbing sound changes. The result is brilliant heights with an impressing amount of details and bouncing basses without any indifference.

Passive Filter:
The circuit in passive filters is fundamentally different from electronic in modern systems. Instead of sound corrections and saving of costs in manufacturing, the focus here lies on musicality. Broad wavebands widely overlapping each other create a very specific sound characteristic. Interactivity between the single modules and sound forming phase differences allow you room for experimentation.

Based upon the potential divider principle the filters are built completely passive, consisting of metal film resistors, coils and film capacitors.

Especially the high-quality and cost-intensive coils (by the way, manually winded at Tegeler Audio Manufaktur) are a specialty in passive equalizer circuits.

There is no active amplifier within the wave bands. After processing, the signals are brought back to nominal level with a tube amplifier stage.

And how does this sound? Very musical, even with extreme settings.
