The name is a direct reference: in 1971, Led Zeppelin bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones commissioned a one-of-a-kind custom console called the Allotrope. That console became the founding reference point for the entire Wunder Audio line — from the PEQ1 through the PEQ2 and into the Wunderbar. The Allotrope EQ carries the PEQ2's correction section into the 500 Series format without simplification — metalwork, components, and transformers all meet the same build standard as the console modules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eInductor-Based Baxandall in 500 Series Format\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eInductor-based Baxandall architecture produces smooth, wide correction curves — no hard bandwidth limits and none of the phase artifacts associated with active RC filters. That curve shape is particularly useful for broad tonal moves: adding low end sounds like a natural thickening of the band, and opening up the top does not introduce harshness or artificial sheen. The transformers are wound from the same Ni\/Fe\/Co laminations used in the original 1971 Allotrope modules — the same laminations that informed the PEQ1 and subsequently the PEQ2. The signal path is discrete Class-A throughout, built to the same level of craftsmanship as the full-size console modules: precise wiring, impeccable soldering, and top-tier components at every junction in the circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003ePEQ2 Correction Circuit in a 500 Series Slot\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe Allotrope EQ answers a specific question: how to access the PEQ2's EQ character in a 500 Series slot with no quality compromises. Every aspect of the design — from the metalwork to the component selection — mirrors the PEQ2 standard, realized in a smaller enclosure. For engineers who know the PEQ2's sound from tracking sessions or from working on Wunderbar consoles, the Allotrope delivers the same musical inductor-based correction in a 500 Series rack environment — as a standalone EQ without a preamp stage, ready to run in an insert chain or on a DAW return.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eInductor-based Baxandall EQ in 500 Series format — same EQ circuit as the Wunder Audio PEQ2\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTransformers wound from the original Ni\/Fe\/Co laminations used in the 1971 Allotrope modules (John Paul Jones' console)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDiscrete Class-A signal path — meticulous wiring and soldering to console module standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBaxandall correction curves: wide-band, smooth, no phase artifacts from active RC filtering\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTop-tier components at every circuit junction — identical standard to the PEQ2\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e500 Series format: compatible with all 500 Series racks\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHand-built in Austin, TX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eType: inductor-based Baxandall EQ, 500 Series format\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eEQ circuit: identical to Wunder Audio PEQ2\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eEQ architecture: inductor-based (Baxandall)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSignal path: discrete Class-A\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTransformers: Ni\/Fe\/Co — same laminations as original 1971 Allotrope modules\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMetalwork and components: PEQ2-standard throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFormat: 500 Series (single slot)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eProduction: hand-built, Austin, TX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wunder Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53670069403985,"sku":"41726","price":850.82,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/WunderAudioAllotropeEQ.jpg?v=1778416668","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/en-fr\/products\/wunder-audio-allotrope-eq","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
