The ZÄHL - EQ1

The ZÄHL - EQ1 Stereo Equalizer from the AM1 Analog Console designed by Michael Zahl and Mark Enestus is now available in a 500 series format.

The original Custom built 56-channel inline console in Conny Plank's Studio:

I like the look/layout of this dual slot unit. The global 5/15db gain switch for the eq gain is a great feature. The individual bypass switches for each band makes for easy A/B comparisons and there's selectable I/O gain. Also note the frequency switches on the hi-mid and lo-mid bands.

ZÄHL EQ1 Features:

• stereo design for mixing & mastering as well as voices & instruments
• highly musical design
• intuitive, user-friendly, self-explaining layout
