The EQV 1015 is a mono unit, offering 10 bands of equalization, with each band controlled by precise, step-selector switches (stepped attenuators), also known as gollett switches. These provide incredibly accurate adjustments, allowing for consistent and repeatable settings. The inductive design ensures a smooth and natural frequency response, ideal for those looking to add genuine vintage color and analog saturation to their mixes. Whether you're working on a recording or sound design, this equalizer delivers detailed control over your audio with a classic analog touch.

This unit is currently offered as a single mono unit, but if you're looking for a stereo pair, you're in luck! A second identical Tesla EQV 1015 is currently undergoing repairs, and once it is fully restored, I will offer both units as a stereo pair. This presents a rare opportunity to own a matching set of these vintage equalizers, perfect for stereo mastering or mix processing.

With its rugged, rack-mountable construction, this equalizer is built to last and was likely designed for demanding professional environments like broadcast studios or military applications. It operates on 220V, so a step-up transformer will be required for use in 110V regions.

This is a truly unique chance to own a discrete, inductive Tesla EQV 1015, and whether you purchase this as a mono unit or wait for the stereo pair, you'll be adding a piece of audio history to your studio. Don't miss out on this opportunity to bring the rich, vintage sound of this exceptional equalizer into your workflow!

Please note a few minor cosmetic details:

• One of the rear legs of the equalizer is missing, but I plan to fabricate a replacement as soon as possible to restore the unit to its original stability.
• There is a small crack in the plastic on the front handle (as shown in the photo), but this does not affect the performance of the unit.
