TL Audio 5013 - Dual Channel Valve Parametric EQ
This unit without a doubt possesses the finest combination of performance and affordability of any equaliser that we have yet produced. There is simply no equaliser in this price bracket to touch it: and now the 5013 features a peaking/shelving option on both LF and HF bands plus a Fat contour switch on both channels. Like all TL Audio equipment, the interfacing options couldn't be more flexible - separate input and output level controls allow easy level matching with any other equipment, and a choice of balanced and unbalanced line inputs/outputs plus instrument DI inputs means you can get yourself up and running in seconds.
The 5013 employs two valve stages per channel, in the form of a Sovtek ECC83/12AX7A twin triode valve. One stage is positioned pre the EQ filters, and one is post EQ: both are run at 150V DC from a fully stabilised PSU. Once you have experienced high quality equalisation then you won't want to record without it - try the 5013 and we guarantee that there will be no going back!
"TL Audio's 5013 is a sweet sounding parametric EQ that should be noticeably better than the EQ sections on the vast majority of mid-priced consoles. It is very well engineered, and looks the part in a pro studio."
