Overview

Three bands, one voice.

V-EQ3 combines the best of the Neve 1066 and 1073 modules into one equaliser, built on the Class A design that keeps distortion low. Its fixed frequencies are the point rather than a limitation, since hardware designers picked a small set that worked and left the rest out. Air at 10 or 12 kHz suits vocals and acoustic instruments, and a highpass filter trims mud from sources like kick before they reach a bus.

Highlights

Broad curves with stepped frequency selection
A tone control rather than a corrective EQ
Transformer colour added regardless of settings
Difficult to make it sound bad, which is the appeal
High-pass filter as on the original module
Mono and stereo components
Part of the V-Series
