TK Audio TK-lizer 3  From TK Audio

TK-lizer 3 is based on the Baxandall circuit, loved for its smooth and natural sound. It’s equipped with three bands, and it’s packed with functions to fulfill the needs of both mixing and mastering engineers.

The three bands have six frequencies each, plus a high pass filter with twelve frequencies. Low and High bands can be switched between peak and shelving, and each band is followed by a gain control. The EQ has its own cue function to monitor Left, Right, Mid or Side signals separately.

To maximize the usefulness, you can choose between normal Left/Right mode or Mid/Side (M/S). M/S mode opens up many more options, such as: adding a bit of ‘air’ to the sides; applying the HPF to the side signal; and  summing the low end to mono. You can alter the stereo width by adjusting the side signal level.
With the mid channel controls you can manipulate some of the elements that are often panned centrally, such as bass, kick and snare drum, vocals, and hi-hats. All this without adding an external M/S encoder/decoder to your setup.

The new TK-lizer 3 includes several updates from TK-lizer 2―both inside and out.
New bakelite knobs and toggle switches give it a more vintage look, and the new input and output circuits and updated EQ circuits deliver better low- and high-end. There's also an updated M/S circuit for better channel separation.
