While many have tried to imitate Pultec's EQP-1A since, few have been able to come close to truly emulating the EQ's classic sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eRecreating a Classic Equalizer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn order to properly recreate the EQP-1A, PhD., Electrical Engineer and Materials Scientist Dr. Steven Jackson spent over a decade researching and collaborating, in addition to discussing the project with Eugene Shenk. Working to recreate the exact design of the original equalizer, Jackson studied the specifics of the transformers, circuitry and tubes, in order to accurately build each component to Shenk's specifications. These aren't reproductions – These are Pultecs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eThe EQ Difference Maker\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe EQP-1A is a three-space rack mount unit that features a two-band design that makes it possible to boost extremely low and high frequencies without harming the notes in the middle. With the ability to boost and cut at the same time, the Pultec EQP-1A gives users multiple options of how to treat a shelf frequency, in a way that few other equalizers are capable of achieving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eThe Pultec Sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeveral pieces of audio equipment have garnered the praise that they add \"something special\" to a recording, simply by having signals passed through them. The EQP-1A is one of the few where the difference is definitely noticeable. This Pultec equalizer has a wide-open sound that instantly adds a warm, airy feeling to recordings, reminiscent of the sounds heard on all of your favorite records.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.6667px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eLow shelf boost: +13.5 dB @ 20, 30, 60, 100 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eLow shelf attenuate: -17.5 dB @ 20, 30, 60, 100 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eMid\/high peak boost: +18 dB @ 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, 16 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eHi shelf attenuate: -16 dB @ 5, 10, 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eInput transformer: 600 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eNoise: 92 dB below +10 dBm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eDistortion: ≤ 0.15% at 10 dBm into 600 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eAmplifier: Flat 20 Hz to 20 kHz; +\/- 0.5 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pultec","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450898247783,"sku":"185086","price":3495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/pultec-eqp-1a-tube-equalizer-reissue-1657-used_185086_1_9722e3d4-f052-401f-b92c-ec0594015c3a.jpg?v=1787095002","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/pultec-eqp-1a-tube-equalizer-reissue-1657-used","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
