The SSL E Series EQ Module is
one of two new modules for the X-Rack/Mynx SuperAnalogue™ modular mixing
and processing system. The new E Series Modules reproduce the legendary
sonic signature of an early 80’s classic, the SL 4000 E console channel
strip, which was featured on countless 1980’s recordings.
The E Series EQ Module features two different EQ’s found on editions of
the console produced between 1979 and 1987. Each EQ has unique response
curves and tonal character. They are distinguished by the colors used on
the LF knob caps so the two flavors have become known as the ‘Brown’
and ‘Black’ EQ’s. On the E Series EQ Module you can switch between these
two different flavors of EQ that have been loved by generations of
professional producers.

Original Manufacturers Description
"I recently added a pair of SSL E Series EQ's to my large collection of discrete EQ's at Mike Nehra's suggestion. I have been blown away! The SSL has such a great tweakability compared to many of the 500 serie's EQ's. The discrete EQ's sound great but are often limited on frequency bands and Q control. The SSL E series cuts through a large mix extremely well and is often the right tool for difficult to control sources like snares or overheads. It's a great compliment to my EQ collection and I already want more!" Jeffrey O'Rourke
