Golden Age ProjectEQ-81 MKIII 4-Band Equalizer

Golden Age Project EQ-81 MKIII

Inspired by the warm, sweet, and musical characteristics of the 1081 module, the EQ-81 MKIII from Golden Age Project is a Class-AB equalizer circuit designed to bring that same sound to your own studio. Four stepped frequency controls give you a range from 33Hz to 15kHz using Bass, Low Mid, High Mid, and Treble knobs, each with +/- 18dB of gain. The Bass and Treble controls are switchable between shelving and bell curves, while the Mid bands are bell-type with a switchable Hi-Q setting. The EQ-81 MKIII can be used either as a standalone unit, or as an insert combined with the PRE-73 and tucked into the UNITE for easy, 19" rack mounting.
