STEREO PARAMETRIC EQUALISER
INTRODUCTION
The vintage-style fully stereo 1974 four band Parametric Equaliser provides exceptional analogue musicality and sonic
clarity, taking it's inspiration from 1970's-era gear. It has the ability to perform subtle shaping for mastering purposes
that require a delicate touch and easy recall, but is just as capable of tonal sculpting, adding the analogue warmth and
character that is near impossible to emulate in the digital domain.
Get immersive with the stereo operation, with one set of controls for both channels. The versatile design features dual
channel precision stepped potentiometers, providing exceptional accuracy for fast and simple recall. The fully variable
bandwidth allows you to control the parametric mid bands, making adjustments as surgically precise or as broad and
natural sounding as you could ever require. Fully adjustable low and high cut filters are also included, ideal for tuning out
undesirable signals at the frequency extremes. It also features a switchable slope allowing you to alter the focus at the
high and low frequencies plus a low peak setting that magnifies the bottom end. The 1974 is perfect for tonal shaping,
staying true to the sound of the 70s and ideal for any musician.
Genuine Stereo Operation with Indented and Accurate Potentiometers.
The genuine stereo linked operation of
the 1974 makes adjustment quick and extremely simple using just one set of controls to alter both channels. Gone is
the wasted time spent fiddling about on every control trying to match the settings of the left and right channels with each
other. The 1974 uses precision potentiometers, each one being matched for left/right accuracy to within fine tolerances
by our trained technicians, so that both channels operate identically, and also have indented operation, providing
exceptional accuracy for fast and simple recall.
Fully Parametric with Totally Variable Bandwidth.
The 1974 is a true 'parametric' equaliser, with the four bands
having fully variable frequency controls and offer cut and boost of +/-12dB's. However, unlike EQ's with a no bandwidth
adjustment, or a simple switch, the two mid bands have completely variable filter bandwidth controls enabling the user
to focus in on very narrow sections of the audio spectrum or apply a broad natural sounding filter, or, of course, anything
in between the two. This makes the 1974 incredibly versatile and capable of modifying everything from subtly fine tuning
mixes to tone sculpting problematic recordings.
