It takes a single slot and is intended as the tracking partner to the PRE169 preamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTone set while tracking, not rebuilt in the mix\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEQ ahead of the converter means the decision is made once and stays in the file — fewer plugins on the channel, less latency, and a signal that already sits where it belongs by the time you start balancing. ±15 dB shelves at 20 Hz and 20 kHz plus a continuously variable Presence filter from 150 to 7000 Hz cover that job without reaching for a surgical equaliser. A multicolour output level indicator on the panel shows saturation after the EQ section, so you can see when a low-end boost starts eating headroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA bypass that works when the power does not\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EQ section is bypassed by a relay rather than a switch sitting in the signal path — the sound with EQ disengaged is transparent, and if the lunchbox loses power the module falls into bypass instead of cutting the signal. On a live recording where there is no second take, that behaviour has concrete value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-band equaliser in 500 series format (API standard), single slot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplica of the Studer 169 console EQ section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh and low shelves with ±15 dB of range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinuously variable Presence filter, 150–7000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulticolour output level indicator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransformerless input and output using top-grade op-amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelay-operated bypass, power-failure proof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned as the tracking partner to the PRE169 preamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned and assembled in Saint-Vérand, France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: API-style 500 series module\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh shelf: ±15 dB @ 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresence filter: ±11 dB, 150–7000 Hz (continuously variable), Q ≈ 1.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow shelf: ±15 dB @ 20 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum input and output level: +22 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput impedance: 48 kΩ; output impedance: 50 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response (1 kΩ load): ±0.5 dB from 5.4 Hz to 25 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio: above 105 dB (0.2% THD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower consumption: 120 mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HLabs Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54701701005649,"sku":"60811","price":352.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/HLabsAudioEQ1691.jpg?v=1788171860","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/products\/hlabs-audio-eq169","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
