PRE-ORDER
We will ship to you as soon as we receive stock
Praised as one of the most formidable EQs in the realm of modern studio mastering, the PQ by SPL reigns supreme. This fully parametric EQ is adorned with 10 bands spread across 5 channels, exemplifying SPL's unwavering dedication to technical precision and their pursuit of world-class technology.
Encased within a 4U 19" rack-mountable chassis, each PQ unit boasts high-quality detented potentiometers, buttons, and switches. Every control glides with resolute precision, while 41-way stepped pots facilitate effortless and precise recall between sessions—a feature indispensable to professional mastering tools.
Synonymous with SPL's highest-end professional audio equipment, the PQ incorporates 120V "anti-overdrive" technology across its circuitry, ensuring ample headroom and an optimized dynamic range for rendering audio material of the highest quality.
The flexibility of the PQ is unparalleled. Each frequency band can be independently switched in and out, and the option to toggle between Constant and Proportional Q is available on the fly. In Link mode, the left-channel bypass functionality is controlled by the right side. Moreover, the "1/4 Gain" switch attenuates the boost or attenuation amplitude by a factor of 3/4, providing precise control over ±5dB adjustments and allowing for surgical corrections in filtering to achieve the ultimate master.
For mastering engineers, manual comparative toggling can be an arduous task. To mitigate this, the PQ incorporates a built-in Auto Bypass feature that seamlessly switches between wet and dry signals at user-adjustable intervals, allowing engineers to remain in the sweet spot and focus on their craft.
The PQ stands as an indispensable filtering tool in any mastering studio, allowing music to breathe naturally while simultaneously preventing listening fatigue. With its bullet-proof construction and unparalleled performance, the PQ empowers mastering engineers to achieve exceptional results while preserving the integrity and nuance of the audio material.

- Parametric dual-channel 5-band EQ (10-band total)
