Members nystrec Posted November 1, 2005 Members Share Posted November 1, 2005 can anyone recomend a good hardware parametric eq for under a grand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Right now, the Speck ASC EQ's (tranny balanced output) are probably the kings of the "under a grand" parametric EQ's in the minds of many engineers. If you want to save a few bucks, you can get the transformerless output version and might just be able to swing a pair of them for stereo. The truely budget-challenged, frugal and darnright cheap among us should keep their (our ) fingers crossed that Mark McQ of FMR Audio decides to release a RNEQ someday. No insider word on that to pass along, but hope springs eternal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members where02190 Posted November 2, 2005 Members Share Posted November 2, 2005 I recently aquired a pair of Urei 545's from a buddy in a trade, they are so sweet!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Cool Where - congrats! What did those set you back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members where02190 Posted November 2, 2005 Members Share Posted November 2, 2005 Actually I swap-loaned a pair of 4033A's for them. Technically I don't own them, and can get my 4033's back whenever I need. Now I'm very inspired to get the GML stereo 5 band parametrics back from repair. I've been doing some mixing that involves acoustic piano today, and these 545's are making my Ivers and Pond sound like it never has before, I can't wait to have 4 channels of killer eq.

Members where02190 Posted November 7, 2005 Members Share Posted November 7, 2005 True, but our Distressors take up 1/2 the rack space! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scapier Posted November 7, 2005 Members Share Posted November 7, 2005 Does the Portico line have eq under a grand yet? Spencer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But IMO, an EQ would be a good idea. Right now there is a shortage of options for outboard EQ's... especially ones that are not coupled with mic preamps and that are affordable and sound good.
