Eliosound has announced AirEQ, a new equalizer "created to meet every single expectation of musicians, mixing engineers and producers".
AirEQ aims to accurately reproduce the analog equalization characteristics: the curve precision and the phase's variation are the key points of the analog sound. It also reproduces musical tuning ways which are an important part of the sound of a high-end equalizer.
AirEQ also features a special "Air" band, which Eliosound claim is a new type of filter that helps you to restore or to add sound brightness.
