xfilter Mastering Edition
4-Band Analog Stereo Equalizer
It all started with Bob Katz’s idea of tweaking his own xfilter. So Ruben surely took this pretty serious and spend some time for tweaking components on the circuit board until he and of course Bob were 100% convinced with the overall sound by checking serval recordings in our elysia Class-A Lounge – Studio in Nettetal, Germany.
Now the result: The xfilter Mastering Edition is a very sophisticated, handcrafted analog stereo 4-band equalizer, with both channels linked for stereo operation. All four bands provide a precise control range of +/-5dB.
This fine Stereo Mastering EQ produces the high-end sound of a Class A equalizer at an amazing value for the money. He produces an absolutely precise stereo image based on the use of computer-selected components with extremely low tolerances.
even there are many more!
Every single of its many aspects – sound, features, circuitry, components, design, materials, manufacturing – has been thought over and over until there was just nothing left to improve. Basically, every single part of our fine products is custom, and most of these are made according to our own designs and specs.
Only the best components the market has to offer are good enough for the xfilter Mastering Edition, and it shows. Each of our product is manually built to order and tested by ourselves, here at our headquarters in Germany.
Our product benefits sum up in an audio quality that is beyond all doubt. Even when extreme settings are used, the sound always stays clean and powerful.
“The xfilter sounds sweet (with a Class-A quality), transparent (with no artifacts) and quite versatile for an ‘only 4 band’ equalizer. Crosstalk channel to channel measures EXCELLENT. I’m sure that degree of stereo separation across the audible spectrum enhances its performance.
It also seems to enhance the stereo space, so the distortion is ‘just right’. The versatility of combining the low cut with bass boost or cut or the high cut with high frequency boost or cut is amazing. You can get any shape out of that from gentle to very steep. Well done! I’m very happy.”
“What a fantastic piece of equipment the xfilter is – I absolutely love it!”
