EQ-500 Semi-parametric Equalizer (DIY partial kit version)
The EQ-500 is a monophonic semi-parametric 500-series equalizer inspired by the Harrison MR-4 console (1980), delivering a precise, and transparent sound. Whether you're recording or mixing, this versatile EQ excels at shaping a wide range of sound sources with clarity.
The low and high bands feature selectable shelving or bell curves (proportional Q), offering flexible tonal shaping. The midrange offers three different bandwidths, providing precise control over the equalizer. Each band, along with the high-pass filter, includes an individual bypass function, providing full flexibility in your sound shaping.
The high frequencies are particularly smooth, adding sweetness and clarity without harshness. Whether enhancing vocals, acoustic instruments, or any other source, the EQ-500 delivers a silky, musical top end that complements the rest of your mix perfectly.
With its intuitive controls and exceptional performance, the EQ-500 is an essential tool for anyone seeking professional-quality sound with a smooth and refined character.
