DRAWMER 1961 2 channel mastering tube EQ

This unit has twelve active tube stages, with a variable input level controls so the user can decide how hard to hit the tubes. Each channel has four overlapping bands of EQ, plus variable high pass and low pass filters with switchable bypass.

Insiders say: This is a great unit for "sweetening", "smoothing", "warming" or "softening" your digital recordings.
It's also a fantastic addition to the 1969 for a two channel "tube mixer."

George Massenburg's knowledge of the characteristics of sound and engineering has made him one of the seminal engineers of our time. His extreme scrutinization of every detail carries over from his work as a mastering and recording engineer into his work as a designer of musical equipment that can no longer be described in the realm of "specifications." The inventor of the Parametric EQ, George has continued to hone his skills as designer and engineer over the last several decades and has created product that defies verbal definition. It has to be heard to be believed.

The Model 2020 is a single-channel input processor and accepts either microphone or line-level signals with phase reversal and phantom power switches. The equalization, dynamics, and sidechain sections allow for flexible routing to accommodate any recording situation. Like all GML equipment, it is constructed of all discrete-transistor, balanced/symmetrical class-A components and delivers wide-bandwidth, low-noise, extended dynamic range, and an extremely high slew-rate.

"We designed the Model 2020 based on the 8300 preamplifier, 8200 parametric equalizer, and 8900 dynamics processor. The designs are the result of decades of research, prototyping, manufacturing, and subsequent alterations in our enduring drive towards engineering completely transparent audio processing. We conceived of the Model 2020 in response to the growing trend in 'front-end' processing, where a premium is placed on signal processing before the signal hits tape or, more often, hard disk. Because such uses often call for only a channel or two at a time, there's a need for processing power that's long on features (such as preamplification, equalization, and dynamics processing) and short on channels. It's a balance between use, features, and price point, and the Model 2020 fits the niche perfectly."

New For 2004!
GML's renowned transparency, reliability, musicality, and precision at a more affordable price!

George Massenburg Labs is introducing the all-new GML 2032 mic preamplifier and parametric equalizer. Heir to thirty years of analog engineering expertise, the Model 2032 boasts discrete class A design in a single rack space unit and provides an elegant front end solution for recordists. And, for the first time in GML history, the 2032 features an ultra-low-noise internal AC power supply.

Insiders say:
Short on price and long on sound. This is the best bargain you will see all year.

GML 8200

The 8200 has been a studio standard for more than 20 years.
A two channel 5 band parametric equalizer, it is the masterpiece of the inventor of parametric equalization, and the archetype for stereo EQ. Its extraordinary resolution, benchmark transparency, generous headroom, and surgical precision have been the reference for many other equalizers, but exceeded by no other.
It requires one 8355 power supply.

Insiders say:
What CAN we say? It is THE standard for recording analog or digital.

Geoff Daking

In Daking, we have found a manufacturer following in the tradition of the great console manufacturers like Tident, Neve and API. Geoff Daking, long a premier name in the recording industry, has used his extensive experience in recording and studio setup to create a line of studio products whose sound quality and workmanship are second to none. Factor in their reasonable cost and Daking's excellent product support, and you have a value unmatched in the pro audio industry today.

DAKING Mic-Pre/4 band Equalizer-

All Daking product is made with all discrete transistor circuitry, transformer balanced inputs and outputs with class "A" amplifiers, and Steel construction for strength and noise immunity. Designed with the Trident in mind, the Mic-Pre/EQ includes five stepped frequencies per band*, continuously variable boost and cut (+ 16db) all relay switching with gold bi-furcated contacts, switchable +48v phantom power, and a 20db pad on the mic input.

* Stepped frequencies:

High Shelving 8-10-12-15k-20k

Upper Mids 1.5-3-5-7-9K

Lower Mids 125-hZ-250hZ-500hZ-1K-2K
