Two-channel EQ with Class A Amplifiers

Show full description »

EQ is available everywhere. EQ is on everything we buy in pro audio. EQ is perhaps the most common audio tool in the market. EQ is used in every aspect of the recording process; and any studio engineer has his/her favorites..

Ted Fletcher is not new to EQ. From his console designing days, he has produced many designs, and has heard a great many more.. His favorite design of all time has now become the TDE; Ted's definitive equaliser.

What makes the TDE?

The TDE is a two channel, four band EQ. 2 bands are high and low shelving, 2 bands are parametric mids. There are high and low pass filters on each channel.

The first major difference with the TDE from other EQs from the outside is that none of the controls are potentiometers (pots), they are all switches. This is a major feature of older equipment, that enables precise control over every parameter, and repeatability of results. Over the years, with things like EQ, pots have replaced switches to save on manufacturing costs, however, for the purist, pots can be very inaccurate and failure prone.

On the inside, the TDE features a classic design of EQ using inductors and vintage amplifiers. This design is an adaptation of Barry Porter's classic that oozes musicality and richness. The amplifiers are pure class A, discrete that in themselves add a quality that is hard to define, yet unmistakable.

Subtle

The P9's inductor driven EQ does more than simply cut and boost frequency. Gentle phase transitions make the EQ applied sound completely natural and warm. Even with the most gentle EQ setting, music sounds warmer and more complete. As a mastering tool, the P9 can subtly enhance the mix in ways that you can hardly measure, but are unmistakable to the ear. The P9's switched settings give the engineer confidence in the basics of what the P9 is doing to the mix, but the subtleties will remain a mystery, leaving plugin EQs sounding brittle and dull in comparison.

Extreme

Because of the P9's extreme smoothness, you can apply heavy EQ to a sound before losing any musical qualities. That's not to say that the EQ goes unnoticed though, under heavy EQ, sounds take on a completely new character that is unmistakably the classic design of this EQ working hard. When used to extremes, the P9 is an awesome musical tool, shaping sound to amazing effect.

Filter

Each P9 channel comes with high and low pass Sallen and Key filters on 4 way switches for 3 frequency settings and an off position. In use, these filters are as smooth as it gets. Useful for tracking and the mix.

The P9 features, 2 channels of...

  • 4 bands of Inductor based EQ
  • All switched settings (rotary and toggle)
  • 12 EQ gain stages
  • boost/cut per band (24 gain positions in total)
  • Mid Q shaping (2 bands)
  • 11 input and output gain settings
  • 3 way high pass filter
  • 3 way low pass filter
  • input clip meter
  • post EQ 9 LED meter
  • eq bypass switch

The P9 is not a cheap equaliser. It is designed to be everything that Ted Fletcher could possibly want from an EQ, and each unit is hand made to his exacting standards in England. It is a product exclusively for people who can hear the difference, and want the best for their sounds and mixes.
