The mastering version of the EQP-1A – stepped controls for exact, repeatable settings. The Pultec EQM-1A is the mastering version of the 3U EQP-1A. Its boost and cut controls are full-range, progressive-taper Elma stepped switches: 0.5 dB steps for the first half of rotation, then larger steps up to the full range – fine control for mastering, full power for tracking.
