RUPERT NEVE!!!!
you know… I love this man and am forever in his debt. He’s made laboratory grade audio equipment available to music / broadcast industry for many years and his standards and interests have grown since his beginning. Truly a childlike interest in pushing the boundaries of the craft he practices. He applies raw physics to sound and you should watch this as a whole to appreciate the brilliance of his passion and dedication.
I’m glad someone as enthusiastic as Hutch Hutchison is at his side absorbing it all. (though he left RND)
Long live limitless analog technology!
Long live the passionate, curious and boundary pushing!
Long live Rupert Neve
Sound guy xmas idea #12 – PulTac Passive Tube Equalizer
Top shelf tube gear has never sounded so good and been so reliable. Tristan has redesigned a classic and made it a price that’s hard to pass up.
Two channels of Passive and Inductor based Program Equalization!
Heavily modified version of the Pultec EQP-1, adding much more flexibility in the Low-End Boost/Cut, and in the High-Cut sections, with excellent Sowter inductors used in the High-Boost.Single tube design, using one NOS Tesla/Sabre 6DJ8 per channel.
Hammond Transformers isolating both Inputs and Outputs.
You can buy one here: http://audioaholics.com/peers/catherine_north for MUCH cheaper than most mono tube filters!
Sound Guy Xmas idea #6 – Manley Massive Passive EQ
You know you want one…
The Manley Massive Passive Stereo Tube EQ is a two-channel, four-band equalizer (with additional high pass and low pass filters) that can handle radical EQ sometimes needed for tracking as well as the most subtle shadings for vocals and mastering. It is designed to be a fundamentally different EQ but incorporates the best strengths of Pultecs, choice console EQs, parametrics and graphics. The difference is that the Massive allows twice as much EQ with half the coloration. It delivers huge HF boosts without sibilance problems and extreme fatness with impressive clarity.
Manley Massive Passive Features:
All-Passive tone sculpting circuitry
Unique Shelf curves use the “bandwidth” control
Overlapping and Interleaved Frequency choices
Every band switchable to shelf or bell
Vacuum tube make-up gain and line drivers
Parallel symmetrical topology
Premium components throughout
HP and LP Filters plus gain trims
Modular design allows future upgrades and special functions
