That is why Heritage Audio is incredibly pleased to offer the world's first reproduction (and a dead-on one at that) of the \"Holy Grail\" of classic EQs: the\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHeritage Audio MOTORCITY EQualizer\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRecreated from Motown units owned by eight-time Grammy-winning producer, mixdown artist, and innovative engineering genius Michael Brauer, Heritage Audio has left no stone unturned, recreating the unmistakably huge, punchy, and warm signature sound that makes this EQ as classic as the hits it helped create. From the 10-gauge hand-brushed aluminum faceplate, historically accurate control layout including custom molded bakelite knobs, the MOTORCITY Equalizer looks the part. More importantly, the unique passive equalization circuit is identical and fully faithful to the original design. The MOTORCITY EQualizer is so precise, it stands as the only EQ available that can rival, or even \"best\" the popular Pultec EQ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt was no simple task to make a 100% accurate reincarnation. Peter Rodriguez and his team from Heritage Audio worked for weeks with their friends at Black Lion Audio. Seth Berman from Black Lion Audio's NY facility took the lead in getting the info together for Heritage to work their magic. The exceptionally tight mil-spec 1960s tone capacitors and inductors are simply no longer available. Replace with an alternate? Not on your life. Heritage Audio had custom recreations built from scratch. Each with exact materials, values, and tolerances: a perfect interchangeable clone of the very few originals remaining. Just add 60 years of dust, and you've got twins\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe MOTORCITY EQualizer is a completely analog, passive EQ design with seven accessible frequency points across the tonal spectrum. Each frequency has a stepped rotary switch capable of flat response, or up or down up 8db in 1 dB increments. Frequency points graduate from 50 Hz, 130 Hz, 320 Hz and 800 Hz before jumping to 2000 Hz, 5000 Hz, peaking at 12,500 Hz. The front panel also features a simple in\/out\/off toggle switch with top hat knob and jewel light power indicator. All rotary switches have easy to read from a distance \"General Radio\" bakelite style knobs recreated to look exactly like the originals (remember, this is not a slider-style graphic EQ). Finally, it features a master gain control (-8 dB\/+8 dB), again in 1 dB increments. The incredibly simple 1960s accurate back panel features a power supply jack, and an XLR input and output. The sound itself is exactly what you'd expect. It packs a punch without sounding harsh or distorted. While something as simple as an analog seven-band EQ might sound more like hype than hyper goodness, hearing is believing. Why has Heritage audio gone through the seemingly impossible task of bringing them back to life? Michael Brauer will tell you this: It simply got that sound! The Heritage audio MOTORCITY EQ is not a digital equivalent, not a respectfully close replica and not a more compatible modernized \"improvement.\" The MOTORCITY EQualizer is nothing more or less than the genuine article finally made available for the general public. For the very first time in history, you can integrate this true spec to spec carbon copy of both form and function into your own studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDead nuts replica of Michael Brauer's units designed at Motown's \"Hitsville\" studio for private use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFirst time publicly available - Motown's Chief technical engineer and miracle worker Mike McLean's take on the smart graphic EQ designed for the film industry and made by Cinema Engineering, Langevin and Altec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShockingly clever passive design uses no less than 21 inductors and 21 tone capacitors ( 3 each per band) exclusively made for Heritage Audio, matching Brauer's values to 1% tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHeavy-duty stepped rotary switches used for all 7 eq bands and gain control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUTC replica input transformer with modified turns ratio for better integration into modern studios\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExclusively made for Heritage Audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCarnhill-driven output line amp substitutes the original's Achilles heel Opamp-labs output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn\/Out\/Off Lever switch allows you to A\/B the effect of EQ settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"additional\" class=\"row target\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"additional\" class=\"box-collateral box-additional pdp-target additional-attributes-wrapper\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product-section-heading\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"data table additional-attributes\" id=\"product-attribute-specs-table\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" scope=\"row\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCONDITION\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" data-th=\"Condition\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNew\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" scope=\"row\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUNIT WEIGHT\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" data-th=\"Unit Weight\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e15 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" scope=\"row\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTUBE OR SOLID STATE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" data-th=\"Tube or Solid State\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSolid State\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" scope=\"row\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCHASSIS\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" data-th=\"Chassis\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e19-inch Rack-mount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" scope=\"row\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRACK SPACES\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" data-th=\"Rack Spaces\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2U\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" scope=\"row\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eINPUT CONNECTORS\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" data-th=\"Input Connectors\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnalog XLR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" scope=\"row\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOUTPUT CONNECTORS\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" data-th=\"Output Connectors\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnalog XLR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Heritage Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40480449364047,"sku":"MOTOR-CITY-EQ-DUALPACK","price":4799.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0054\/9466\/9382\/products\/heritage-motorcity_180112_1.webp?v=1670523836","url":"https:\/\/shop.musicredone.com\/products\/heritage-audio-motor-city-equalizer-dual-stereo-set","provider":"RedOne Music Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
