The A-Designs EM-EQ2 delivers the rich, musical tone of the classic Pultec EQP-1 while offering the reliability, consistency, and integration flexibility of modern engineering. Designed for those who admire the sonic character of vintage gear but need contemporary performance, the A-Designs EM-EQ2 faithfully recreates the original Pultec EQ circuit, control layout, and frequency settings.
It includes the iconic dual-boost and cut capabilities on low frequencies (20Hz to 100Hz), a sweepable mid/high boost (3kHz to 16kHz), and high-frequency attenuation (5kHz, 10kHz, 20kHz), all adjustable from 0 to ±10dB.
Built in a rugged 2U chassis, this dual-channel unit is equipped with premium components including a custom Cinemag nickel-core output transformer, Wima capacitors, a Cinemag tapped inductor, and true hard bypass.
With balanced operation, noise-free performance, and a dual-mono format, the A-Designs EM-EQ2 provides two channels of Pultec-style EQ in one unit, making it ideal for tracking, mixing, or mastering in modern studios.
