Pultec EQM-1S3 Tube Equaliser
The Pultec EQM-1S3
two-band mastering equaliser, a rare variant of the legendary EQP-1A
equaliser, can give your tracks the massive bass, silky highs, and
addictive warmth that made the original a studio standard. Pulse
Techniques is back, building their classic EQs right here in the USA,
without compromise or "enhancement" to the original designs. New Pultecs
like the EQM-1S3 contain only original-spec components and are dead
ringers for their vintage ancestors. It may sound like magic but it's
been time-tested and proven - the Pultec EQM-1S3 mastering equaliser can
make any track sound better.
Magical tools revered for their
ability to improve the sound of audio simply by passing signal through
them, Pultec equalisers are the stuff of legend. You've heard them on
countless hits. Rare vintage units cost a pretty penny - if you can find
one in good working order. So naturally, there have been many hardware
and software "re-creations" over the years. Well, now you can grace your
recordings with the sweet sound of the real deal: a genuine,
made-in-America Pultec EQ.
When you're mastering with outboard
gear, it's crucial to be able to accurately recall settings. The EQM-1S3
mastering equaliser sports 21-position stepped switches for its
boost/attenuation controls. The tapers have been engineered to give you a
maximum of 10dB of boost/cut, with .5dB step increments. So when you
need to recall exact settings, the EQM-1S3 makes it easy and precise.
What's
different on the EQM-1S3 compared to its brother, the EQM-1A3? There
are more selectable frequencies on the high-band of the EQM-1S3, for
starters. The equalization curves are also a bit different, and the
low-band of the EQM-1S3 sports different frequencies than its brethren,
giving you a different flavor while maintaining all that Pultec mojo.
