Handmade in New Zealand Buzz Audio Resonance Equaliser REQ 2.2 stereo equalizer for tracking, mixing and mastering applications Series True Class A technology  larger size euro ----,00 New Zealand based pro-audio manufacturer Buzz Audio releases the Resonance Equaliser Model REQ-2.2, a stereo equalizer for tracking, mixing and mastering applications. It gets it's name from the use of REAL switched inductors and capacitors as the reactive elements in the EQ stages - no electronic simulation. The overall design is a "no holds barred" approach with True Class A discrete transistor amplifiers throughout and individual discrete power supply regulators for each stage. The Resonance Equaliser also boasts a variable Saturation circuit which introduces varying amounts of transformer colour. The transformer is driven by a "classic" single ended amplifier stage creating a more "vintage" sound when desired. The REQ-2.2 will be available in both detented (Mastering) and non-detented versions. Features * All filter networks are passive utilising real inductors (chokes) and capacitors as the reactive elements, no electronic simulation - just pure Resonance * 144 different frequency settings per channel. * All BE40 proprietary True Class A high speed 140V/uS amplifiers in the signal path.. * Mastering version with Elma 24 position detented Boost/Cut controls offering +8dB and -10dB range * Lower cost recording and mixing version with continuously variable Boost/Cut controls offering an extended +/-16dB range. * High and Low Bands are switchable Bell or Shelf with adjustable Shelf "slope". * Variable transformer Saturation mode for added "colour" when desired.. * Two bell shape Mid Bands with switchable 1x or 2.5x Frequency and selectable Bandwidth. * Passive 18dB/octave Bessel aligned High Pass Filter. * Each band is selectable In/Out of the signal path as well as an overall System bypass.. designer of the Buzz Audio products: Tim Farrant |
