Hlabs EQ169 - 500-format 3-band EQ based on the Studer 169
The Hlabs EQ169 is a simple but very musical 3-band equalizer, featuring a semi-parametric midrange. It will be the perfect companion of our already acclaimed PRE169 mic preamp as a go-to tracking EQ for your 500-series setup !
INSPIRATION
Inspired by the legendary Studer 169 mixing desk, the EQ169 is a classic, yet very musical 3-band EQ with the original ±15dB high and low shelves and a semi-parametric "Presence" band. This is certainly what makes this console so sought after today...
3 MAIN FEATURES YOU WILL LOVE
- A multicolour output level indicator to monitor post-EQ saturation
- The famous "Presence" filter, continuously variable from 150 to 7.000Hz - always nicely smooth
- ±15dB fixed frequency high and low shelves, to get that fat low end or cristalline highs in seconds
