The TL Audio 5013 Parametric EQ offers a perfect combination of performance and affordability among TL Audio equalizers. The 5013 is a rackmount EQ that features a peaking/shelving option on both low-frequency and high-frequency bands plus a Fat-contour switch on both channels.
Like all TL Audio equipment, the interfacing options couldn't be more flexible-separate input and output level controls allow easy level matching with any other equipment, and a choice of balanced and unbalanced line inputs/outputs plus instrument DI inputs means you can get yourself up and running in seconds. Once you have experienced high-quality equalization, you won't want to record without it. If you've always thought that your console EQ is good enough, just try the 5013 equalizer and you won't go back.
The 5013 EQ unit employs two valve stages per channel, in the form of a Sovtek ECC83/12AX7A twin triode valve. One stage is positioned prior to the EQ filters, and one is post EQ. Both are run at 150V DC from a fully stabilized PSU.
Features:
- Continuously variable input and output gain controls (-20dB to +20dB)
- Four bands of fully parametric equalisation per channel: LF: 30Hz to 1kHz, LM: 100Hz to 3kHz, HM: 1kHz to 12kHz, HF: 3kHz to 20kHz
- Each band offers 15dB of cut or boost
- Each band features variable Q (bandwidth) between 0.5 and 5
- Shelving mode available on LF and HF bands (by pulling out Q control)
- Fat-contour switch provides a gentle LF/HF lift combined with a mid-cut, for extra warmth
- EQ bypass switch on both channels
- Front panel instrument input for guitars, keyboards etc
- Drive and Peak LEDs-to indicate internal signal levels
- Balanced XLR line inputs/outputs duplicated on unbalanced jack connectors
