The signal path runs through IGS Custom transformers on input and output and six 6N1P triode valves; level metering uses 6E2 magic eye tubes – vacuum indicator tubes from 1950s and 1960s hi-fi amplifiers. Three bands (bass, mid, treble) with selectable frequencies and Q adjustable from 0.5 to 5 are joined by a TILT control – a linear tilt of the entire frequency response curve up to a maximum slope of 1 dB\/oct. Hard-wire bypass. Internal linear power supply 115\/230 V. Power consumption: 64 W. Shipping weight: 11 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe TILT control – how it differs from shelving\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA conventional shelving filter boosts or cuts one end of the frequency range at a fixed corner frequency, leaving the other end flat. A tilt filter rotates the entire frequency response around a centre pivot point – simultaneously boosting the low end while cutting the high end (or vice versa), producing a curve that is close to a straight line. In the Tilt n Bands, the TILT control generates a nearly ruler-straight slope to a maximum of 1 dB\/oct, meaning at full deflection the difference between 20 Hz and 20 kHz is approximately 10 dB. This is a global tonal balance tool for mixes and masters: if a mix sits too bright, one TILT adjustment rebalances it without touching individual band relationships. The straight slope avoids the resonances and phase distortions that shelving filters introduce at extreme settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThree switchable bands through a tube circuit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bass band offers 50, 100, or 250 Hz; mid offers 500 Hz, 1 kHz, or 2.5 kHz; treble offers 5, 10, or 12.5 kHz. Each band is controlled by a ±10 dB knob with a centre detent at 0 dB. A TRIM control handles overall output level adjustment. The 6N1P tube circuit in a transformer-balanced configuration adds the colouration and saturation character of vintage hi-fi design – the unit is aimed primarily at mastering and mix bus work, where a few decibels of correction at selected frequencies is sufficient to reshape the entire tonal balance. Frequency response: 20 Hz – 40 kHz ±0.3 dB. THD+N: 0.08% at 1 kHz and +4 dBu. Crosstalk: above 120 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube stereo mastering equalizer with TILT filter and three selectable bands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTILT filter: linear slope up to 1 dB\/oct across the full frequency range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBASS band: 50 \/ 100 \/ 250 Hz (±10 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMID band: 500 Hz \/ 1 kHz \/ 2.5 kHz (±10 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHIGH band: 5 \/ 10 \/ 12.5 kHz (±10 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQ: 0.5–5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIGS Custom transformers on input and output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTubes: 6× 6N1P + 2× 6E2 (magic eye level indicators)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard-wire bypass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTRIM control for output level\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal linear power supply 115\/230 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: tube stereo equalizer with tilt filter, rackmount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTubes: 6× 6N1P + 2× 6E2 (magic eye)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransformers: IGS Custom (input and output)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBASS band: 50 \/ 100 \/ 250 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMID band: 500 Hz \/ 1 kHz \/ 2.5 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHIGH band: 5 \/ 10 \/ 12.5 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQ: 0.5–5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBand correction range: ±10 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTILT filter: up to 1 dB\/oct linear slope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput impedance: 10 kΩ (balanced)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput impedance: 600 Ω (balanced)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating level: +4 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum output level: +19 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 20 Hz – 40 kHz ±0.3 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD+N: 0.08% (1 kHz, +4 dBu)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrosstalk: above 120 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetering: 6E2 magic eye tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBypass: hard-wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower supply: 115\/230 V, 50\/60 Hz, linear, internal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower consumption: 64 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipping weight: 11 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"IGS Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54001633231185,"sku":"47373","price":2780.24,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/IGSAudioTiltnBands1.jpg?v=1781176253","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/products\/igs-audio-tilt-n-bands","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
