Trident has brought the great sound of the 80B EQ, a sound featured in so many classic 70s rock recordings, to a 500 Series module - the Trident 80B EQ 500.
Operating the EQ:
Inspired by the legendary Trident Series 80 console, the Trident 80B 500 Series EQ puts the sound of countless classic recordings right in your 500 series rack. With frequency-switchable high and low shelving bands, two sweepable midrange bands with resonant Q peaks, and a switchable high-pass filter, the 80B Series 500 EQ gives you an exceptional degree of control over your sound.
VELVETY SMOOTH SHELVING EQThe Series 80B 500 EQ is equipped with two bands of versatile shelving EQ. The low band offers ﾱ15 dB at 60 or 120 Hz for making your kick drums knock and your bass guitars thunder. Keep your low end in check with a switchable 50 Hz high-pass filter. Add brilliance and air to your recordings with the high band, which offers ﾱ15 dB at 8 kHz or 12 kHz ﾗ perfect for acoustic guitars and cymbals.
RESONANT Q TECHNOLOGYEquipped with two variable midrange bands, the Series 80B 500 EQ captures the classic punchy color and character of the original Series 80 console EQs. Both the low mid and high mid bands are peaking filters with resonant Q technology for an exceptional musicality. With overlapping frequency ranges from 100 Hz - 1.5 kHz on the low mid-band and 1 kHz - 15 kHz on the high mid-band, the Series 80B 500 EQ offers plenty of flexibility for sculpting crucial midrange frequencies.
THE TRIDENT LEGACYThe Series 80B 500 EQ captures the unique sound of Trident's iconic Series 80B consoles from the late 1970s by using an exact replica of the original circuit design. Known for their powerful low-end and punchy midrange, the Series 80B EQs have used by world-class artists such as Elton John, David Bowie, Stevie Wonder, Radiohead and more.
