A great trick for kick drums and bass instruments. The EQ curve that results when boost and attenuation are simultaneously applied to the low shelf is difficult to describe, but very cool: Perhaps the sonic equivalent of a subtle low-midrange scoop, which can add clarity. In actual use however, the Boost control has slightly higher gain than the Attenuation has cut, and the frequencies they affect are slightly different. In the documentation supplied with hardware version of the EQP-1A, it is recommended that both Boost and Attenuation not be applied simultaneously to the low frequencies because in theory, they would cancel each other out. This section is attenuation only shelving EQ.
The third group also controls the highs and has two controls: attenuation amount and frequency select. The second group controls the high frequencies and has three controls: boost, bandwidth, and frequency select. The first group controls the low frequencies and has three controls: boost, attenuation, and frequency select. The EQP-1A can control three frequency ranges simultaneously, using three groups of interacting controls.Ĭontrol grouping within the Pultec EQP-1A If youve never used a Pultec EQP-1A, the grouping of controls might be a little confusing. The Pultecs are known as magical tools that improve the sound of audio simply by passing signal through them by who wants to leave it at that? The Pultecs have long been a choice of recording and mastering engineers for their ability to bring out individual frequency ranges without significantly altering other frequencies so extreme settings are no problem with the Pultecs. Perhaps less known, Pultec made filters, small mixers and preamps, one of the most intriguing products being the MAVEC, an early channel strip that included a mic-pre, eq, and simple compression all in a 2U rack mount design. In addition to the famous tube EQs, Pultec also made solid-state versions of these units, which were the silver-face variety. It is said the men were very secretive about their designs, and very few were ever allowed to visit the facility. A testimony to this is the numerous working units still available in the audio production world. The build quality and design of all the Pultec products was unparalleled. The company was neither bought nor sold Pultec simply closed its doors. The EQP would see many iterations, but this basic design would be the companys flagship product until the companys folding in the late 70s/early 80s. In 1951, Pultec introduced the first passive program equalizer, the EQP-1. This combination is still standard fare in recording studios and was once widely used in mastering sessions. UAs new Pultec-Pro Combines the two most widely used Pultec EQs the EQP-1A Program Equalizer, and the MEQ-5 Mid Band Equalizer, which when used together, give the user a well-rounded EQ palette. The original tube EQP-1A fetches around $4000- $5000 on the used market, and several companies have adopted the technology for modern recreations of this revered studio icon. It does not store any personal data.With UAs new plug-in release of the Pultec-Pro, I thought it would be fitting to delve a little deeper into the history of the company and products that brought the burgeoning audio industry of the 50s the innovative technology which is still widely used and copied.
