Millennia NSEQ-2
Two channel Class A vacuum tube parametric equalizer -and- two channel Class A discrete solid state parametric equalizer in the same chassis; selectable via the push of a button. Four bands of EQ per channel.
- Two paths to perfection with Twin Topology
- Fully parametric stereo EQ with unprecedented sonic purity integrity
- All triode 300 V vacuum tube signal path
- All discrete J-FET solid state signal path
- Both topologies are entirely transformerless, high voltage, pure Class A
- Minimalist design: only one active stage in the audio path
- Four EQ bands: 20 Hz to 20 kHz center frequency, 0.4 to 4.0 Q
- Extremely low noise: -106 dBu
- Constructed for demanding professional applications
- Ultra-Premium components throughout
- Gold relays, connectors, switches, tube sockets
- Silver Teflon power wiring
- Mogami Neglex OFC audio wiring
Options
- Detented, loggable controls
- Musically rich vintage vacuum tubes
