Thermionic Culture The Kite Stereo Tube EQ with Attitude (Balanced Version)

*FOR SALE* THERMIONIC CULTURE KITE EQ (TRANSFORMER BALANCED)

Thermionic Culture The Kite is a stereo valve EQ built to bring distinctive tone and character to your mix or master bus (although I've also used this on guitar amps - attitude is killer, and overheads/rooms on drums)

It offers separate Bass boost and Bass cut controls, along with "Attitude" and a smooth Maag like Air boost. The Attitude switch introduces second-order harmonics, and the model also features a 12dB/octave high-pass filter.

The bass section, top-shelf, and high-pass filter each provide two selectable frequency options. All controls are stepped for accurate recall.

This model features fully transformer balanced Input and output connections and was last serviced in late 2025 by Simon Flynn (North London).

Key Features:

• Fully stereo operation across all controls, stepped knobs for easy, repeatable settings
• High-pass filter with selectable 20Hz and 40Hz frequencies, using a 12dB/octave slope
• Bass Boost and Bass Cut each offer two frequency choices and can be combined to create a mid-cut effect, much like a pultec
• Top Shelf provides a broad lift in the mid-to-high range, similar to a presence control, with two frequency options
• Air control enhances the upper frequencies, delivering a clear yet warm sound characteristic of valve gear
• Attitude switch introduces rich second-order harmonics unique to valve circuitry
• Output Trim allows fine adjustment of each channel, with additional -6dB switches on each channel
• Equipped with balanced XLR connections
• Manufactured in the UK

In excellent condition, only very slight sign of wear from racking. Collection preferred, but able to post in the UK.
