A-Designs Improves On Perfection With EM-PEQ Equaliser

A-Designs Audio has announced that it has improved the classic EQP-1A equaliser in a brand new product and one that fits in a compact 500 Series ‘Lunchbox’ module frame.
Dubbed the EM-PEQ, A-Designs Audio was able to shrink filter design into the now 500 Series format without compromise to either build quality or sonics. The EQ section design and control layout of the classic EQP-1A has been meticulously maintained.
Makeup amplification is achieved through the use of the same discrete Class AB amplifier found in A-Designs popular solid-state Pacifica mic pre, putting an extra twist on this classic design.
Additional features include a nickel core output transformer, gold Grayhill rotary switches, Wima capacitors, and a true hard bypass. Instead of using off-the-shelf chokes, A-Designs uses a tapped inductor, custom-wound to the original values. Fully balanced, noise-free operation with modern impedance specs make for simple operation and fast studio integration.
The new EM-PEQ is an approved API 'VPR Alliance' product, so may also be used in Brent Averill racks and A-Designs Audio’s R52 manufactured by Avedis Audio Electronics.
With the launches last year of the P-1 and EM-Series preamplifiers (EM-Red, EM-Blue, EM-Silver, and EM-Gold).
The EM-PEQ is available in May 2007.
