Analogue EQ | Buzz Audio | Products

Dual-channel tilt-EQ with additional hi-and low-pass filters and a midrange parametric bell curve to offer fast, simple and musical sound shaping for tracking and mixing. Includes Buzz Audio BE41 discrete opamps and Lundahl LL1517 output transformers.

The Buzz Audio Zodiak is a dual-channel tilt-EQ with additional hi-and low-pass filters and a midrange parametric bell curve to offer fast, simple and musical sound shaping for tracking and mixing.

The Buzz Audio Zodiak boasts a Baxandall style tilt EQ, originally found in the Quad 44 hi-fi amplifier, with a central frequency of 700Hz controlled via a single knob offering +/-8dB of cut/boost. As both low-shelf and high-shelf curves are affected simultaneously (and in opposite directions), small increments yield noticeable changes. For example, a +1dB change on the tilt control with result in a 2dB shift between the balance of high and low frequencies. The Tilt EQ delivers a smooth sound with a minimum phase shift.

The Zodiak also includes a parametric midrange band with up to 10dB of cut and boost with a range between 65Hz to 8.8kHz, offering a powerful way to counteract additional problematic frequencies. This is completed by low- and high-pass filters with 12dB/oct slopes each with its own in/out switch.

This version of the Zodiak comes with Buzz Audio BE41 discrete opamps and Lundahl LL1517 output transformers.
