SPL Passeq Model 1653 Passive Equalizer All Black

Elevate Your Sound Experience

Reviving vintage charm with a modern twist, the PASSEQ passive equalizer melds 50s nostalgia with cutting-edge 120V technology. Its unique single-filter design encapsulates the essence of classic passive equalizers from the 50s and 60s. Crafted with precision, the PASSEQ introduces three distinct frequency ranges—Low Freq, Mid Freq, High Freq—each accompanied by dedicated cut and boost controls. The output control situated in the middle allows meticulous level adjustments, offering a truly customized sonic signature.

The heart of the PASSEQ lies in its passive filter design, an artful combination of variable resistors, capacitors, and coils. Unlike active filters, this passive configuration imparts a charmingly smooth and transparent character to your audio. By leveraging the inherent characteristics of its components, the PASSEQ achieves a unique sound profile, boasting silky highs and robust bass. Carefully fine-tuned during extensive listening sessions, it delivers a musically advantageous curve, reminiscent of iconic Pultec EQs from the 1950s and 60s. This distinctive design ensures a delightful audio experience, free from the limitations of its vintage predecessors.

Embrace the audio prowess of +/-60V operation, delivering unparalleled sonic depth and detail. The PASSEQ, where classic meets innovation, offers a timeless yet forward-thinking addition to your audio toolkit.
