There is simply no equaliser in this price bracket to touch it: and now the 5013 features a peaking/shelving option on both LF and HF bands plus a ‘Fat’ contour switch on both channels.
Like all TL Audio equipment, the interfacing options of the TL Audio 5013 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 equalisation then you won’t want to record without it – so if you’ve always thought that your console EQ is good enough, then just try the TL Audio 5013. We guarantee that there will be no going back!
The TL Audio 5013 employs two valve stages per channel, in the form of a Sovtek ECC83/12AX7A twin triode valve. One stage is positioned pre the EQ filters, and one is post EQ: both are run at 150V DC from a fully stabilised PSU.
