‘Brown Knob’ EQ
With the BLK button out, the two parametric mid-band sections
feature SSL’s classic logarithmically symmetric design ensuring that
the ±3dB up/down points retain the same musical interval from the
centre frequency regardless of frequency and amplitude settings.
The two shelving sections are traditional 6dB/octave designs with
an option for a fixed Q parametric response (by way of the BELL
button).
The ‘02’ EQ, to give it its correct name, was used on countless
recordings and mixes in the early eighties.
‘Black Knob’ EQ
In the mid-eighties a new ‘242’ EQ circuit was developed in con-
junction with the legendary George Martin for the first SSL console
to be installed in AIR studios. The ‘Black Knob’ EQ, as it became
known, featured enhanced cut and boost ranges (±18dB instead of
±15dB) together with a different control law for tighter control of low
frequencies.
It is this design which is retained today as the ‘E Series’ EQ option
of the Origin, AWS 924, AWS 948 and Duality consoles.
