Contacta con nosotrosAudiotales 1951 EQ is a tube mastering equalizer with two boost-only bands and two filters. The circuit runs on NOS Sylvania 6SL7 WGT and 6922 tubes, and every unit is assembled by hand in France.
Two curves instead of two separate units
Each 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.
Built for material that is already mixed
The 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.
