Mastering EQ LA-117 Studio DMI limited edition

Advanced Modular Stereo Multiband Equalizer and Mid/Side Processor especially designed for mastering and mixing use. The Mastering EQ LA-117 Studio DMI limited edition is the result of collaboration between Livio Argentini and Luca Pretolesi. Special analog design techniques have been used to obtain a precise control of the sound structure down to the minimum details. * The LA-117 “Studio DMI edition” is a multirange analog equalizer especially designed for mastering and mixing use where very precise settings are required. * For this purpose, the LA-117 is equipped with super fine tuning controls enabling an easy manual recall without the use of step controls. * Inside the LA-117 there are two separate EQs, the first is a Baxandall type and the second is a special 5 band Parametric unit. * The order of the LA-117 Parametric and Baxandall EQs within the signal flow is interchangeable. The interactions between the two equalizers enable the LA-117 to execute any kind of acoustic correction. * Each parametric band splits the frequency control in two different ranges so that 10 bands can be used. Moreover, the LA-117 features a “solo” control for parametric eq sections that improves the filter usability. This feature is not found in any other analog parametric EQ on the market. * The parametric unit is based on a special innovative technology designed by Livio Argentini, different from other parametric equalizers on the market. The LA-117 uses a parallel configuration that produces very low distortion, low noise end extremely low phase rotation. * The extremely large bandwidth ( more than 300 KHz ) provides a very fast transient response and an extraordinarily natural sound unrivalled in the market. * The very linear ( instrumental type ) electronic balanced amplifier, without transformers or servo-amplifiers, allows for a perfect square wave response and absolutely no timbric alteration in the sound. * Double gold plated contact connectors. * Many critical components, like potentiometers, are duplicated and connected in parallel to assure long life, maximum reliability and precision. * Switching is made by gold contacts and sealed relays. * The LA-117 use short actuator toggle switches to avoid accidental operation when adiacent knobs are operated. * The special modular construction allows for a quick servicing and an easy customisation. * The insertion of a MID-SIDE matrix, suggested by Luca Pretolesi, and the external insert capability, transform the LA-117 in a complete audio Hub.
