Charter Oak PEQ1 Stereo EQ interview is continued in part 2 here with Mike Deming of CharterOak and Todd Atlas of Sound Pure. They discuss the incredible power of the equalizer filters of the PEQ1. There are 6 EQ bands in total, as well as a high-pass filter situated at 20hz at 6dB, as well as two and three switch positions for the other 6 bands. Finally, the unit has left and right trim control to makeup any gain lost in the case of substantial mid-cuts. The unit is a stereo unit and was designed as a finishing tool to be used on the two-buss, or in mastering, but can also be used very successfully used on individual instruments. We have one in the Sound Pure Studios here, and would be glad to discuss what weve learned about this incredibly impressive equalizer. Give us a call toll free anytime at 888-528-9703.

Charter Oak PEQ1 EQ is explored in great detail in this first part video (of two). Mike Deming of CharterOak and Todd Atlas of Sound Pure Studios explore the EQ first in the control room, and then get into a discussion in the lobby. They cover the fact that this is a stereo EQ with wide overlapping bands, and has some incredible tonal capability and remarkable ease of use. With plus or minus 24 decibels in the outermost bands, the tonal coloration possibilities are incredible. While not a parametric EQ, the EQ nevertheless has remarkable control across its six bands, as well as a very special feature- the ability to booth up to 24dB at a center frequency of 50k. The possibility produces an endless top end that has the sonic signature effect of taking the blanket off of the tweeter.

The Charter Oak PEQ1 is a gorgeous sounding Stereo EQ featuring wide overlapping bands that musically take a rough Jazz mix to a much more polished state. While not a Parametric EQ, this PEQ-1 Program EQ features some amazing tonal control, as these extremely powerful filters have ideally-located center frequency, and interact wonderfully well with one another. There is even a 50k switch that allows you to boost a wide band of EQ with a center-point at 50k that beautifully contours and lifts bands well under 20k at its high boost setting, resulting in an unprecedented openness, that sounds like "taking the blanket off of the Tweeter" of your control room monitors. Any recording studio should own this box, both as a finishing tool, as a wonderful single-channel or stereo tracking tool, and frankly, even in the mastering world. It possesses remarkable ease of use, and tremendous power. Don't let the fixed Q (width) and fixed EQ center point frequencies fool you. This is an incredible and innovative design in audio equalizer technology.
