Millennia NSEQ-2 STT-1 EQ Demo Video - Part 3

Millennia's NSEQ2, the same EQ in the STT-1 Origin Mic Pre, is a very clean EQ that can be used in recordings of all genres. Previously, we explored the four band parametric EQ on Steinway grand piano and saxophone. In this video, we demonstrate how the EQ can give us a variety of colors on electric guitar in this rough mix of Scott Sawyer (http://www.scottsawyer.net/) and members of The Old Ceremony (http://www.theoldceremony.com/). Using the EQ, we can find the sound we want to fit the electric guitar into the mix. To find out more about this fantastic EQ, give us a call here at Sound Pure anywhere, anytime 919.682.5552. Or email us at sales@soundpure.com

Manufacturer's Description from Millennia

Full Timbral Control, Total Signal Integrity

Thousands upon thousands of professional engineers use the discrete Class A NSEQ parametric EQ's in mastering, post-production, live sound, mixing, and tracking. It's the parametric EQ found in the acclaimed STT-1 Origin Twin Topology channel strip. It's the same EQ topology found in the world's most widely used phono archiving system, the LOC (Library of Congress, etc.). It's the EQ used by countless professional artists from Celine Dion to Andreas Bocelli. It's the EQ used on the 2-bus main mix for over a decade of Academy Awards TV orchestra broadcasts (along with 100+ channels of Millennia HV-3 micamps).

We've lost count of the number of engineers who've told us that their "favorite thing about the NSEQ is its incredibly musical top end." It may not be an exaggeration to say that most clients use the NSEQ to breathe top-end musical life into their tracks. The one comment we hear continually:  "the 21kHz top end boost sounds like music, not like EQ."

So we thought it was time to create a new product that focused exclusively on the NSEQ's top-end. We call it the NSEQ-HF, and it's ready now for your 500-rack, at an attractive price point. The NSEQ-HF employs the identical circuitry found in the NSEQ-4:  our renowned FSA-03 Class A all-discrete J-FET amplifier and our DSA-01 Class A all-discrete J-FET true-differential line receiver. Both amplifiers use Toshiba 2SJ74 and 2SK170 discrete J-FETs exclusively, considered the holy grail of pure Class A discrete audio design topology.

 

Features:

  • World's first (and only) all-discrete, true differential Class-A JFET input buffer/amplifier
  • Selectable balanced or unbalanced input
  • Transformerless signal path
  • True hard-wire bypass when EQ not selected
  • 100% discrete Class A signal path using ultra-rare Toshiba J74 and K170 J-FETs
  • Minimalist design: only one active stage in the audio path (Dove Topology)
  • Extremely low noise: -106 dBu
  • Constructed for demanding professional applications
  • Ultra-Premium components throughout
  • Gold mil-spec Grayhill rotary freq-select switch
  • Lovingly hand-crafted in Northern California
