BAE B15 500 Series Equalizer
3-band 500 Series EQ with 5 selectable frequencies per band, Avedis 1122 opamps, and Jensen transformer balanced input and outputs
MFR# B15
Product Description
The BAE B15 is a three-band gyrator circuit 500 series EQ that combines Jensen transformer-balanced inputs and outputs with legendary Avedis 1122 op-amps for a one-of-a-kind sound. The BAE B15 offers the best of both worlds: the fast, punchy tone of the API 312 preamp and the unmistakable color and richness of the iconic Neve 1073.
HIGH-QUALITY COMPONENTS
With hand-wired, all-discrete Class A circuitry, the BAE B15 EQ delivers low noise and high headroom—almost like a hi-fi version of your favorite vintage designs. Hearty Jensen transformers at the input and output stages add warmth to any recording, while Avedis 1122 op-amps ensure minimal distortion.
Ideal for tracking, mixing and mastering, the B15 is capable of everything from subtle sonic shaping to total tonal transformation. The B15 is highly versatile and designed for use with live or sampled drums, guitars, vocals, acoustic instruments—even your mix bus.
SIMPLE CONTROLS
The BAE B15 utilizes silky-smooth Elma rotary switches and three custom machined aluminum knobs. Each band features dual-concentric controls with five selectable frequencies and up to +16 dB of boost and cut.
Dial in silky smooth highs using the top band, with selectable frequencies at 6.8 kHz, 8.2 kHz, 10 kHz, 12 kHz and 16 kHz. Capture a creamy midrange using the center band, with selectable frequencies at 560 Hz, 750 Hz, 1.5k Hz, 3.3 kHz and 5.5 kHz. Beef up the bottom-end on any track with the low band, which offers selectable frequencies at 63 Hz, 120 Hz, 200 Hz, 300 Hz and 430 Hz.
All three bands default to peaking filters, although simple push-button controls at the bottom of the module enable high and low shelving options.
HAND-MADE DESIGNS
All BAE products are hand-made in California using premium-grade analog components. Inspired by classic vintage designs, BAE products combine authentic sound quality with modern features to create versatile, flexible and affordable signal processors for modern audio engineers.

Buyer's Guide: BAE Audio
10.04.2019Read More
The roots of BAE Audio were planted back in the 1980s with the original Brent Averill Enterprises. It began with a focus on repairing and racking original Neve and API modules to bring the sound of a full mixing board into rack-mounted gear that could fit into any studio workflow. As the business evolved, Brent began replicating the original designs to the nth degree, using original spec components from OEM manufacturers (particularly the transformers) and wiring these all-discrete designs by hand. A reputation for build quality and sonic excellence was established that continues to this day.
In the late ‘90s, Brent decided to retire. Enter Mark Loughman, a tech at the firm who decided to buy the business and continue the excellence. He renamed it BAE, a nod to both the original name and an acronym for British Audio Engineering, which was and still is the focus of the sonic signature created by BAE products. The classic “British EQ” and the sound heard on countless records emanating from the UK for the past five decades is at the heart of BAE. Continue reading →
