Welcome to filter wonderland!
Thank you very much for purchasing the xfilter 500 – one of
the quite few true linked stereo EQs in the market.
The xfilter 500 gives you the expensive sound of an all class-A
equalizer in a surprisingly affordable package, with a precise
stereo image based on computer-selected, stepped potenti-
ometers and low tolerance film capacitors.
This EQ is serious about flexibility. It offers high and low shelf
bands which can be switched into high and low cut filters with
resonance, two mid peak filters with wide and narrow Q, plus
additional passive LC stages with shielded coils for a glorious
top end.
With its exceptionally open sound, straight transient projec-
tion and solid punch, the xfilter is the perfect match for your
xpressor – or any other piece of delicious outboard gear!
