{"product_id":"a-designs-hammer-2","title":"A Designs Hammer 2 Dual-Mono 3-Band Equalizer","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eA-Designs Hammer 2\u003c\/strong\u003e couldn't be easier to use. Its overall frequency range covers 30Hz to 40kHz. Each channel features six detented rotary controls: three frequency selector knobs (Lo, Mid, Hi) which are stepped switches for easy recall, each with an accompanying gain knob providing continuously variable boost or cut of 12dB. Each band has a selectable center frequency, and overlaps with the other bands in such a way that makes for a seamless transition throughout the entire spectrum. Each channel also features individual toggle switches for EQ In\/Out as well as Lo Cut (84Hz) and Hi Cut (8kHZ), filters that allow engineers to perform utilitarian EQ chores while still being able to bring the full power of The Hammer's three bands to bear. Mainly intended as a \"broad stroke\" equalizer, the HM2EQ's bandwidth (Q) is self-adjusting (floating), based on a combination of the amount of gain applied and the dynamics and frequency content of the program material.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Hammer's unique ability to have its Q \"move with the music\" is one the keys to its incredible musical performance, and is another reason why it's difficult to make the Hammer sound bad at any frequency or gain setting. Along with its innovative tube-harmonic filtering circuit, a pair of carefully selected 12AT7 tubes (offering the most consistent control of any tube) and a custom heavy duty toroidal power transformer add the final touches to the Hammer's signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eLike its twin - the A-Designs \"Nail\" compressor - the Hammer features a black, custom-milled, brushed faceplate sporting custom-milled aluminum control knobs, a heavy-duty Carling toggle power switch, and a big blue jewel power indicator lamp- overall, a stunning combination of modern-retro looks that jump out of the rack.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Hammer is an inspired design whose sonic signature is far greater than the sum of its components. Perfectly happy in tracking applications or as an insert effect on individual channels, it is the ultimate full-range finishing device for sub-mixes and master outputs. After all, what audio toolbox would be complete without a Hammer?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"A Designs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449822670951,"sku":"54636","price":2550.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/a-designs-hammer-2-1_980ae617-891b-47fa-bdad-5fdb39296f86.jpg?v=1787090568","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/a-designs-hammer-2","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
