The EQM-1A (mastering version) takes the EQP-1/EQP-1A evolution a significant step farther by replacing the BOOST/ATTEN potentiometers with 21-position (and BW with 11-position) ELMA switches, loaded with precision metal film resistors to achieve custom tapers for each control.
The current design implements the “full-range, progressive-taper” design, which provides 0.5 dB per step precision for the first 50% of rotation and then progressively larger (1 or 2 dB) steps as the control is rotated from 50% to 100% of rotation. This allows precise control for subtle equalization for mix bus or similar applications or the full 18-20 dB BOOST/ATTEN of the potted version when tracking or mixing of individual tracks. Furthermore, the stepped controls make recall a breeze and the precise tracking between units is essential for stereo image retention when using a pair on the stereo mix bus.
The Pultec EQM-1S mastering eq is a modern recreation of the rare EQP-1S with added stepped controls for mastering applications and different frequency points and curves.
The Pultec EQM-1S has been meticulously reproduced from the original EQP-1S3 by Dr Steve Jackson, using only original-spec components to deliver the same stunning sound of the original vintage units. Adapted for mastering applications the EQM-1S uses Progressive-taper Elma switch controls with a 0.5dB of boost and cut for precise settings and easy recall. As a result, the gain has been reduced to 10dB boost/cut instead of the original values.
Pultec's unique design uses two bands with separate boost and cut controls that can be combined to create a resonant shelf curve. These curves are key to the Pultec sound by boosting a band without unwanted frequency build-up, offering a tight and musical sound. For mastering applications, these curves allow to add weight and foundations without boxiness and add presence or air without harshness. The EQM-1S also offers the choice between peak and shelf modes which delivers different sonic characteristics, as well as boasting different frequency points compared to the EQP-1A:
Low Shelf Boost/Cut: 30kcs 40kcs, 70kcs and 100kcsHigh Bell Boost:1kcs, 2kcs, 3kcs, 4kcs, 5kcs, 6kcs, 8kcs, 10kcs, 12kcsHigh Shelf Boost: 5kcs, 10kcsHigh Shelf Cut: 5kc, 10kc, 20kc
Furthermore, their passive designs ensure that no distortion is generated by the curves. This design is compensated by a tube driven push-pull amplification placed after the equalisation stage, compensating for the loss of volume.

The EQM-1S3 is our flagship product. It combines the power and versatility of the EQP-1S3 with the precision and reproducibility of the mastering versions. This product is quickly becoming our most popular product for mix bus and/or mastering use.
In addition to our faithful recreation of the original vacuum tube make-up gain EQP-1A3, we have also recreated the EQP-1A3 version based on the legendary API 2520 op-amp.
Im Jahr 2014 hat Pulse Techniques aufgrund der hohen Kundennachfrage den 3U EQP-1A Programm-EQ wieder in Produktion genommen. Viele unserer Kunden bevorzugen das Aussehen und Layout des größeren Geräts gegenüber dem 2U EQP-1A3 und der EQP-1A ist zu einem unserer beliebtesten Geräte geworden. Fast unmittelbar nach der Ankündigung der Rückkehr des EQP-1A erhielten wir Anfragen für den EQP-1S, die 3HE-Version des EQP-1S3. Für diejenigen, die mit den (ehemals) extrem seltenen EQP-1S/EQP-1S3 nicht vertraut sind, sei gesagt, dass diese Produkte über denselben breitbandigen Line-Verstärker verfügen wie die EQP-1A/EQP-1A3-Geräte, jedoch mit veränderten Kurven für die Anhebung/Abschwächung der tiefen Frequenzen, zwei zusätzlichen Spitzenanhebungen und - was am wichtigsten ist - zwei Kurven für die Anhebung der hohen Frequenzen in der Klangpalette.
The EQP-1S3 is a very rare variant of the EQP-1A3, which features modified low-frequency shelf boost/atten curves, additional peak boost frequencies & high-frequency shelf boost.

EQP-500X
Pulse Techniques is pleased to offer the EQP-500X 500-series equalizer, the next generation of our API 2520 gain stage passive equalizers.
In the early 1970s, after condensing the classic 3U model EQP-1A into the 2U form-factor model EQP-1A3, Pulse introduced a solid-state line amp version of the EQP-1A3. These units have exactly the same front end (input transformer and passive EQ section) but utilize a solid-state opamp (genuine API 2520) gain stage driving a Triad output transformer. Many users of this version of the Pultec describe them as “more punchy” and having “a tighter low end” than the tube version. Pulse has taken this proven design to the next stage by packing them into the 500-series form factor as the EQP-500X module. These may come in a smaller package, but don’t be fooled! These EQs deliver all of the punch, mojo and sonic impact of their full-sized counterparts.
The MEQ-5 provides exacting control of the “power region” in program material (300 – 5000 cps) in which most of the sound energy is typically concentrated. This model is a great tool for guitar and vocal tracks.
In addition to our faithful recreation of the original vacuum tube make-up gain MEQ-5, we have also recreated the MEQ-5 version based on the legendary API 2520 op-amp.
Pulse Techniques recently introduced a 500-series version (EQP-500X) of our popular 19″ rack-mount solid-state line amp program equalizers (EQP-1A3-SS & EQP-1S3-SS) equalizers. Based on the venerable API 2520 op-amp followed by a high-quality Triad output transformer, these are preferred by some engineers to the vacuum tube models.
Before bringing the MEQ-5 midrange equalizer into the 500-series family, we discussed the project with legendary producer/engineer Jack Douglas (John Lennon, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Cheap Trick, etc.). Jack has indicated previously that the MEQ-5 has been a staple of his guitar, bass, vocal and keyboard sounds over the years. With Jack’s input, we made a few enhancements to the standard MEQ passive EQ section, which included the addition of 1.2k and 1.5k centers to the low-mid, addition of 1.2k and 8k to the high-mid (overlaps low-mid section and expands top-end) and some minor tweaks to the Q of the high-mid settings. We are proud to recognize Jack Douglas with the production of the MEQ-500 Jack Douglas Edition 500-series Midrange Equalizer.
Just like the tube and rack-mount solid state versions, the MEQ-500JD provides exacting control of the “power region” in program material, that frequency range from about 300 Hz to 5000 Hz in which most of the sound energy is concentrated. The ear is especially sensitive to sounds in this region. In this region, even small resonances in studio acoustics and microphone and speaker responses are very evident in their effect on the listenability of the sound. Three independent sets of controls make it possible to boost on a peak curve at 200 – 1000 Hz while simultaneously boosting on a peak curve at 1.5 – 5 kHz, while simultaneously dipping at 200 – 7000 Hz. Guitars, vocals, horns, strings, keyboards, snares, toms, anything with significant midrange that requires complex contouring is a candidate for the MEQ-500JD.
The MEQM-5 is the mastering version of our popular MEQ-5 midrange equalizer. Like our other mastering products, the potentiometers have been replaced with custom taper 21-position precision rotary switches providing enhanced control and reproducibility of settings.
