This award-winning A-Designs Audio HM2EQ "Hammer" is a dual-mono, three-band equalizer that takes the duty of making your stereo bus sparkle very seriously.
Thanks to an ingenious filtering system that passes the consonant and musical 2nd order tube harmonics while eliminating unwanted noise, this unit enhances the sound simply by running it through itself.
The Hammer particularly shines when it comes to adding “air” to the vocals, instruments and the mix on the whole.
Each channel features six rotary controls: three gain knobs with continuously variable boost or cut of 12dB, and three frequency-selector knobs detented for easy recall. Selectable frequencies range from 30Hz to 15kHz.
The Hammer's unique ability to have its Q "move with the music" is one the secrets to its highly musical response, and also a reason for why its near impossible to make the Hammer sound bad at any frequency or gain setting.
This unit has been serviced, tested and cleaned by Retrosonic Pro Audio engineers and is in good working condition!
It operates on 100-230 Volts, depending on the fuse installed. EU power cable included.
