TL Audio Classic EQ-2 has no equal when it comes to delivering high end power, flexibility and warmth. TL Audio Classic EQ-2, just like the rest of the Valve Classic Series, features a raven blue 6mm CNC milled aluminium front panel, General Electric US military specification valves and high retention gold plated ceramic valve bases. However, Classic EQ2 has also received two much-requested features: a peaking/shelving switch on the LF and HF bands, and drive/peak LEDs.
The internal circuit design on TL Audio Classic EQ-2 has also been refined quite significantly to produce an even fatter, smoother sounding equaliser. The TL Audio EQ-2 boasts two channels of fully parametric 4 band valve equalisation - which in conjunction with variable high and low cut filters offers unlimited control of any audio source. But that's not all - unlike many valve equalisers, the EQ2 provides continuously variable frequency controls, so choice of frequency is not limited to switched selections. It also features a pair of the acclaimed TL Audio mic preamps (with phantom power), to enable high quality direct-to-tape microphone recording, and a pair of front panel auxiliary inputs enable a guitar or keyboard to directly access the EQ2.
Another brilliant refinement is the "stereo mode" switch - when activated, the EQ controls of channel A automatically process the signal on channel B in an identical fashion - thus the audio signals through both channels have the same EQ applied to them: ideal for precise equalisation of stereo sources and overall mixes. Quite simply we believe that the EQ2 is one of the best sounding and most versatile equalisers currently available!
TL Audio EQ-2 employs a total of six valve stages per channel: one in each of the four EQ bands, followed by a pair in the output stage. General Electric US military specification valves are used throughout, run from a stabilised 250v DC supply.
