TL Audio EQ-1 Classic Series Dual Valve EQ

TL Audio EQ-1 Dual Valve Stereo Parametric Equalizer and Preamp w/48v phantom EQ

TL Audioʼs chief designer David Kempson, who had spent roughly 10 years at Neve as a senior engineer and as part of the leading design team.
Their first original product was the TL Audio EQ-1.

Kempson designed low-noise solid-state audio paths and used the valves strategically to insert warm harmonic saturation. This engineering pedigree is a major reason why the original Classic Series like the EQ-1 remains highly regarded by studio engineers.

The TL Audio EQ1 is a classic British hybrid tube equalizer, originally launched in 1993. It features a transformerless front-end followed by two triode valves (tubes) per channel, and provides 4 bands of parametric EQ with the ability to link the channels for true stereo or 8-band mono operation.
