High-Precision Stereo Equalizer for Professional Mixing and Mastering
The Solid State Logic UltraViolet EQ brings the acclaimed minimum-phase shift stereo EQ section from the SSL Fusion processor into the 500 Series format, adding two fully parametric midbands for greater tonal control. Designed for professionals who need surgical precision and musicality in their EQ, the UV EQ delivers SSL’s signature sound with enhanced flexibility. Whether you’re shaping instruments, enhancing mix busses, or fine-tuning masters, this EQ offers powerful tonal shaping capabilities in a compact and versatile modular design.

SSL Fusion Heritage with Advanced Midband Control
Built upon the legendary Violet EQ from SSL’s Fusion analog processor, the UltraViolet EQ takes tonal shaping a step further by introducing two fully parametric midrange bands. These classic SSL midbands provide detailed frequency sculpting, capable of everything from broad tonal shaping to deep notch filtering. This makes the UV EQ an essential tool for achieving clarity, warmth, and balance across all mix elements.

Focus Mode for Surgical EQ Adjustments
The UV EQ features SSL’s exclusive Focus mode, which allows engineers to precisely hone in on problem frequencies or enhance critical elements in a mix. When engaged, Focus mode automatically narrows the Q setting and extends the gain range from ±9 dB to an impressive ±18 dB. This function transforms the UltraViolet EQ from a smooth, musical equalizer into a precise tool for corrective EQ and extreme sound design applications.

High-Pass Filter for Low-End Control and Tightening
A switchable high-pass filter with selectable cutoff points at 30 Hz, 40 Hz, and 50 Hz helps eliminate unwanted rumble while preserving the integrity of the mix. When used in combination with the low shelving band, the UV EQ can sculpt the low end with precision, making it ideal for cleaning up muddy frequencies, enhancing bass clarity, and achieving the sought-after boost-and-cut effect found in classic SSL EQ designs.

Dedicated Output Trim for Gain Staging and Saturation
A dedicated output trim control allows for precise gain matching, ensuring consistency across different tracks and processing chains. Engineers can use this feature to optimize levels for clean, transparent processing or drive converters and analog equipment for creative saturation effects. This level of control makes the UltraViolet EQ an excellent choice for hybrid studios integrating both digital and analog gear.

Perfect Pairing with SSL G-Series Bus Compression
The UltraViolet EQ is the perfect complement to the SSL G-Comp Stereo Bus Compressor, offering advanced SSL processing in a fully modular 500 Series format. When used together, these modules provide a powerful combination of compression and tonal shaping, delivering the classic SSL sound that has defined countless hit records.
