"The best thing about the designs is that even at high gain, the Q is never too narrow, sounding musical at all times and being ideal for adding crack and body to snares, punch to kicks, and mid-range presence to guitars and vocals."
MusicRadar in conjunction with Computer Music have reviewed the new T-RackS American EQ modules and are very impressed with them. Here are some of their key comments:
"In keeping with the originals, the parametric EQ P50A and EQ P50B have switchable frequencies and stepped gain knobs (here in 1dB or 1.5dB steps), while the EQ P60G offers continuous gain (0.1dB resolution) and ten fixed frequency bands (31Hz to 16kHz)."
"The gain range for all three is a modest +/-12dB, but overlapping bands enable you to achieve higher gain at the crossover points. The EQ P50A and EQ P50B include shelving and peak options for their high and low bands, while the EQ P50A features an optional band-pass filter."
"It sounds musical at all times... adding crack and body to snares, punch to kicks, and mid-range presence to guitars."
"The best thing about the designs is that even at high gain, the Q is never too narrow, sounding musical at all times and being ideal for adding crack and body to snares, punch to kicks, and mid-range presence to guitars and vocals."
Their final verdict is:
"Three classic API EQs with some welcome improvements. All are well worth the prices"
