Product Description

Hi-lo solid state program EQ. Revered by many for its use on bass guitar to get a chunky but tight low end. Great 20K 'air' that gives a bit of 'silver' to any lead vocal track. Combine this EQ with a hint of 20k to a great sounding U47 or C12 and add a magical air quality not achieved with other analog eq's or plugins. Very unique. Come to realize why professionals for decades have reached out for this legendary EQ.

Price includes a 1 year warranty and free Premium VK servicing - a $910 value!

History

Lang Electronics was a New York-based company that provided a number of after-market accessories for audio gear in the 1950s and 60s, particularly the Ampex tape recorders of the era as well as a line of portable mixers. Lang provided a lower-cost, quality alternative to the OEM equipment of the day, and was successful for many years. For the modern recording studio, the most useful gear they manufactured were their passive equalizers: PEQ-1, PEQ-2 and PEQ-3.

From the company brochure:
