The TMEQ is the ultimate 6 band stereo all tube Equalizer based upon a tube circuit design from the late 60's.
The working principle is a frequency controlled amplifier: each of the 12 tube circuits are frequency controlled amplifiers. The result gives an
outstanding and unique sound provided by the TMEQ.

Only switches are used on all controllers for precision setting when used in the mastering process.

Technical Features:

- The Tube Master Equalizer is totally hand build with great care
like all other Fairman products. It is a 19inch 6unit rack mounted unit. -- - The power supply is located outside the Equalizer to achieve absolutely no background noise.
- The 24 frequency and attenuator controllers are the Swiss made, high quality gold plated Elma 04 switches, fitted with precision components to assure perfect stereo tracking.
- The function switches are driving small sealed relays with 4 sets of gold plated contacts.
- Each of the 12 amplifier circuits can be switched on or bypassed individually.
- The main bypass is a true hardwire bypass which is connecting the input signal directly to the output. A link function aliows one hand bypass operation for both channels.
- The main bypass switching is also remote controllable.
- Input and output gain swilches with settings from -6dB to +6dB in 0.75dB steps are provided to meet the wide range of analog levels, when inserted in the digital mastering environment.
- A green LED for each channel is indicating the correct internal "Zero Vi" level.

The unit has been serviced and re-caped. Front panel switches cleaned and lubricated to remove pop-noise when dialing. PSU re-calibrated.

Excellent working condition, good visual condition. PSU is switchable between 115V and 230V, currently set to work on 230V. Fuse has to be changed for 115V operation. EU power cord included.
