The circuit is built around custom-wound Lundahl transformers chosen to contribute as little coloration of their own as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe midrange the 1951 does not reach\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1951 works at the extremes of the spectrum and leaves a gap between 150 Hz and 6 kHz open, which is precisely where vocals, snare and guitars sit. The 1954 fills that range. A Varishelf function on the low and low-mid bands changes the slope shape, so the same move can be made broad or narrow without switching to another unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEqualization with no level loss and no mains\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA typical passive equalizer attenuates everything and needs a make-up stage that adds noise. 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","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/products\/audiotales-1954-eq","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
