The EQP-1S3 with full-range progressive-taper stepped controls – mastering precision in 2U. The Pultec EQM-1S3 takes the EQP-1S3 a step further: boost and cut pots become 21-position Elma switches (bandwidth 11-position) with precision metal-film resistors. Steps are 0.5 dB for the first half of rotation, then larger, so you get subtle mix-bus moves and full tracking range in one unit.
Why customers choose it
Who it is for
Mastering and mix engineers who want EQP-1S3 flexibility with exact, matched settings.
