SSL E-Series EQ MK2 500 Series Equalizer Module

The legendary SSL E-Series channel EQ packaged for your 500 Series rack, now with updated brushed aluminum front panel

MFR# 729720X2

Product Description

The SSL E-Series EQ MK2 500 Series Equalizer Module reproduces the legendary sonic signature of an early 80s classic, the Solid State Logic SL 4000 E console channel strip, which has featured on countless classic recordings from the 1980s to the present.

The E-Series EQ Module features two different EQ's found on editions of the console produced between 1981 and 1989. Each EQ has unique response curves and tonal character.

Historically the type of EQ fitted in an individual console was distinguished by the colors used on the LF knob caps so the two flavors have become known as the 'Brown' and 'Black' EQ's. On the E Series EQ Module you can switch between these two different flavors of EQ that have been loved by generations of professional producers.

"Brown Knob" EQ - the original SSL EQ, sweet and musical

15 dB of cut/boost, and a special design that ensures the 3 dB up/down points for each band fall at the same musical interval from the center frequency. No matter where you cut or boost the 611EQ, the results sound musical and natural.

"Black Knob" EQ - a more aggressive EQ for modern styles

In the mid-'80s, SSL developed the 242 EQ circuit, or the "Black Knob" EQ to be found on later E Series consoles. It's more aggressive than the Brown Knob EQ, with up to 18 dB of cut or boost, and a different control law that gives you much tighter control over low frequencies. The module’s BLK switch gives you this alternative EQ characteristic at the press of a button.

Features:

  • Immortal SSL 4000 E Series circuitry
  • "Black-242" and "Brown-02" twin EQ design
  • Versatile 4 band channel EQ
  • Bell curve option on HF and LF
  • Fully parametric LMF and HMF with Q
  • Based on classic 611E console channel strip

I would like to thank VK for the wonderful sales assistance, service and prices. This was my first purchase with you and it won't be my last. I only wish I'd discovered you years ago!

I had two Grammy wins this year - Ray LaMontagne & Carolina Chocolate Drops. Both made with help from Vintage King!

In almost 20 years in Pro audio buying, never did I receive a unit so well packed and exactly as described. Works flawlessly. The whole process has been so smooth. I will never hesitate to do business with you guys in the future and will recommend you to everyone I know.

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.

The speed of delivery exceeded my expectations! I was VERY pleased that my shipment arrived in time for a scheduled vocal tracking session. The packing insured that my order arrived safely. And the sales staff responded quickly to questions regarding the product.

My experience with Vintage King was excellent. The order was here fast considering it was out of stock. The sales person had SKB send it to me directly and I couldn't have been more pleased.
Michael D.
From the minute I placed my order I was kept well-informed through each step in your process. Even though I was buying a comparatively modest piece of gear, your attention to detail made me feel like I was purchasing a six-figure mixing desk.
