TL Audio EQ-2 2-Channel Tube Equalizer

No other high-end equaliser can offer the same degree of power and flexibility as the TL Audio EQ-2.

TL Audio EQ-2 2-Channel Tube Equalizer Details

Like the C-1 and PA-1, the TL Audio EQ-2 features a raven blue 6mm CNC milled aluminium front panel, General Electric US military specification valves and high retention gold plated ceramic valve bases, but we’ve also added two much-requested features: a peaking/shelving switch on the LF and HF bands, and drive/peak LEDs.

The internal circuit design 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 TL Audio EQ-2 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 TL Audio EQ-2.

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 TL Audio EQ-2 is one of the best sounding and most versatile equalisers currently available!

The 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.

Great unit. Durable (40 years old and still going unlike the imported stuff being offered today). I own several different delays (I.e. ADA, Lexicon, and multi effect units) and this thing matches up to the best of them. Recommended!
