Selling a genuine pair of original Pultec EQH-2 tube program equalizers — 110V units, all-original and never modified. Vintage Pultecs in unmodified, original condition are increasingly rare, making this a great find for collectors and engineers seeking the authentic vintage circuit rather than a modern recreation.
Serial numbers are #4097 and #6537. The gap between these numbers suggests the two units were produced at different points in Pultec's production run rather than as a factory-matched pair — but both have been used and sound together as a pair without issue.
Introduced in 1956, the EQH-2 was Pultec's compact alternative to the 3U EQP-1/EQP-1A — sharing the same beloved low-frequency boost/attenuate curves, with a comparable high-frequency peak boost section (fixed bandwidth, fixed 10kHz attenuation point). It uses the same minimalist Class A tube output stage found in the Pultec MEQ-5, and many engineers consider it more transparent-sounding than the larger EQP-1A.
Controls:
- Low-Frequency Boost/Attenuate: 20/30/60/100 Hz (CPS selector)
- High-Frequency Boost: up to 12kHz (KCS selector), with dedicated Boost/Atten knobs
- Class A tube line amplifier output stage
Please note:
- The two faceplates differ in color — one unit is blue, the other grey (see photos). This is purely cosmetic; both units sound identical.
- Both rack ears show some damage/wear, and there are cosmetic scratches on the faceplates (see photos). Fully functional otherwise.
Condition: Original, unmodified 1950s units, 110V. Cosmetic wear as noted (rack ear damage, faceplate scratches).
