Electrodyne 2511 EQ

Pete’s Place Audio
Introduces the Electrodyne 2511 Dual Mono 2 Band Equalizer

Electrodyne 2511 two-band inductor EQ: 

The  Electrodyne   2511  is  a  classic  two-band  discrete  transistor  reciprocal   active  inductor   equalizer, 

which was first introduced in 1970. Smooth performance and eq response from full-cut to full-boost on 

all frequencies, providing unusually broad sonic and tonal options not experienced in a console quality  

eq   in   decades.     The   sonically   critical   custom   inductors   and   output   transformers   are   still   made   by 

Electrodyne’s original US parts manufacturer to strict tolerances as small as 2%. This allows consistent 

eq response and repeatable tone from channel-to-channel, with variations of less than 1/4db over full 

bandwidth. A nearly impossible feat when these eq's were first built.

You will have the peace of mind knowing that the 2511 eq is NOT a recreation and NOT a clone. 

Electrodyne   Audio   is   still   the   same   company   that   produced   groundbreaking   audio   consoles   and 

recording equipment in the 1960's and 1970's. We are 100% back in operation and here to stay. We 

build   with   the   same   quality   and   attention   to   detail   that   developed   our   reputation,   and   continue   to  

manufacture, right here, in California.

All current designs are built following actual original Electrodyne proprietary factory lab and engineering  

notes. And we have even gone to the trouble to have the designs reviewed and approved by original  

Electrodyne engineering staff for accuracy and adherence to company design criteria.

The Electrodyne Audio engineering staff is always striving to improve performance and design new and 

unique products for the industry. Thank you for your purchase.  Your comments are always appreciated.
