Golden Age
Project EQ-73 Classic Equaliser
The class-A
circuit used in the EQ-73 is similar to the eq section in the classical
1073 module, without the high pass filter. Additional frequencies have
been added and the mid frequency band uses two inductors, the higher value
of the second one is used for the two lowest frequencies, 160 Hz and 240
Hz, to achieve a suitable response.
The sound character is warm, punchy, sweet and musical. These classic
characteristics have been heard on countless recordings through the years
and it is a versatile sound that works very well on most sound sources and
in most genres. The essence of this sound is now available at a
surprisingly low cost, making it available to nearly everyone.
The EQ-73 has stepped frequency controls that offers a wide selection of
frequencies from 20 Hz to 24 kHz.
The Low and High frequency bands are shelving and the mid frequency band
is of the bell type.
The control range is +/-15 dB for the two lower bands and +/- 18dB for the
high frequency band.
There are separate bypass switches for all three bands.
The EQ-73 is made to be used together with one of our PRE-73 models that
has an Insert jack. It can also be used with many other units that has a
low level insert jack.
Combining a PRE-73 and an EQ-73, and using a UNITE rack kit to mount them
together, one will get a 19-inch 1073-style unit at a low cost and with a
great sound!
