The circuit runs on NOS Sylvania 6SL7 WGT and 6922 tubes, and every unit is assembled by hand in France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo curves instead of two separate units\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach band switches between a shelving response and a Baxandall curve. The difference matters exactly in mastering: a shelf lifts decisively from its corner frequency, while Baxandall works broadly and gently, so 1 dB at the top does not sharpen sibilance. One switch replaces the need for two equalizers in the chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt for material that is already mixed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe low band covers 20 to 150 Hz and the high band 6 to 51 kHz, so the 1951 works at the extremes rather than in the midrange where vocals and guitars live. Headroom of +28 dB at 1 kHz and a noise floor of -105 dB mean the equalizer will not narrow the dynamics of a finished mix. Channel matching stays within 0.1 dB from 20 Hz to 51 kHz, so the stereo image holds still. Each band has its own bypass, and a separate hardwired master bypass gives a genuinely unprocessed reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube mastering equalizer with two boost bands and two filters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable shelving and Baxandall response curves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBARYTONE and AIRCAP controls for shaping the band extremes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNOS Sylvania 6SL7 WGT and 6922 tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput level control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePer-band bypass plus a hardwired master bypass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-assembled in France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: tube mastering equalizer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow band: 20 Hz - 150 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh band: 6 kHz - 51 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResponse curves: shelving and Baxandall, switchable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh cut filter: 3 dB per octave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow cut filter: 6 dB per octave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadroom: +28 dB at 1 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise floor: -105 dB, maximum -95 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 15 Hz - 30 kHz, +\/- 3 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel matching: 20 Hz - 51 kHz, +\/- 0.1 dB between channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput impedance: 10 kOhm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput impedance: 510 Ohm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTubes: NOS Sylvania 6SL7 WGT and 6922\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AudioTales","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54554371260753,"sku":"60773","price":5059.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/Audiotales1951EQ.jpg?v=1786971355"},{"product_id":"audiotales-1954-eq","title":"Audiotales 1954 EQ","description":"\u003cdiv lang=\"en\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAudiotales 1954 EQ\u003c\/strong\u003e is a fully passive mastering equalizer with no active stages and no power supply.

Here there is no level loss at all, and the absence of a power supply means no mains hum and no parameter drift with temperature. The Coloreq section handles progressive coloration, the Loudness section shapes both ends of the spectrum from a single control, and the Dual RIAA curves provide split tilt equalization. Every control is detented, so settings recall exactly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully passive design with no active stages and no power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo volume loss when equalizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom-wound Lundahl transformers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVarishelf function on the low and low-mid bands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColoreq section for progressive tonal coloration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoudness section operated from a single control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual RIAA curves for split tilt equalization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetented controls with a switchable front-panel matrix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: passive mastering equalizer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActive stages: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: not required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume loss: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransformers: custom-wound Lundahl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSections: Loudness, Varishelf, Coloreq, Dual RIAA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: detented, with a switchable front-panel matrix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating range: midrange complementing the 1951\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturing: hand-assembled in France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AudioTales","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54554371359057,"sku":"60774","price":4229.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/Audiotales1954EQ1.jpg?v=1786971346"},{"product_id":"audiotales-equidal","title":"Audiotales Equidal","description":"\u003cdiv lang=\"en\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAudiotales Equidal\u003c\/strong\u003e is a fully passive exciter and enhancer built around eight high-grade audio transformers.
