Features 4-band Stereo EQ High and low shelving bands Minimum-phase design inherited from Fusion Dual fully parametric mid-bands Precision 'Focus' mode High-Pass Filter at key fixed frequencies Dedicated output trim Surgical precision to creative color Beyond Violet is ULTRAVIOLET Over and above Fusion's Violet EQ, UV EQ takes features further, adding two dedicated mid-bands, with precision Focus mode. They're classic SSL parametric mid-bands capable of the traditional SSL processing techniques but also go far beyond, offering absolute surgical precision all the way to creative 'notch' style filtering and resonant screaming. Focus mode Focus mode allows users to hone in on problem frequencies or specific frequencies they want to accentuate or attenuate. Pressing the Focus switch in, automatically narrows the chosen Q setting further and increases the range of gain available beyond the normal +/-9 dB operation, to a huge +/-18 dB. In true flexible SSL workflow fashion, it transforms this sweet sounding, musical SSL EQ into a more surgical tool. HPF & Trim Remove rumble and tighten up low frequencies, the HPF found on UV EQ brings a world of flexibility when processing low end. The interaction with LF shelving band offers unique ways to sculpt signals and yes, UV EQ is capable of the sought after boost + cut effect. Dedicated Trim control means you can hit convertors with plenty of headroom or smash into them the perfect amount when clipping is desired.

What is the Solid State Logic UltraViolet EQ 500 Module?

A microphone preamp does more than make a signal louder. It sets noise floor, headroom and a good deal of the character, which is why the preamp in a laptop interface and a dedicated unit produce recognisably different results from the same microphone.
