This unit without 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. Once you have experienced high quality equalisation then you won't want to record without it - so if you've always thought that your console EQ is good enough, then just try the 5013.
