Passive inductor networks designed to create tonal changes that remain integrated to the source. Overlapping curves and the unique ability to cut AND boost allows musical and wide ranging tone shaping options. Large moves do not automatically sound heavy-handed, and small moves can change the perspective of a mix without calling attention to the tool. The result is equalization that preserves depth, transient behavior, and musical continuity rather than pulling the sound apart.
Passive EQ networks lose level by design. Restoring that level is central to their sound. The Dual Series uses Manley tube makeup gain stages that benefit from decades of experience and experimentation building high-end tube equipment for the most discerning ears. It’s core to the dimensionality, harmonic structure, and authority of the sound.
True dual-channel design with matched channels expands use beyond just tracking tasks and creates a perfect match for instrument buses, mix buses, mastering, and Mid/Side workflows.

No. The Dual Series does not include an internal Mid/Side encoder or decoder matrix.
The front-panel labels simply acknowledge that the unit can be used in either traditional Left/Right stereo operation or as part of an external Mid/Side processing chain. When fed Mid and Side signals from an external encoder, the two channels can be adjusted independently, allowing separate equalization of the Mid and Side components of a stereo signal.
This approach provides maximum flexibility, allowing the Dual Series to integrate with the wide variety of Mid/Side workflows already found in professional studios. Users wishing to perform Mid/Side processing will need an external encoder/decoder, either in hardware or within their DAW.
In standard operation, simply connect and use the unit as a conventional stereo or dual-mono equalizer.
The Dual Series employs passive filter networks where multiple controls share portions of the same electrical circuit. As a result, a change to one parameter can alter the loading conditions experienced by another section of the EQ.
This means that controls such as bandwidth, frequency selection, boost, and attenuation should not always be viewed as independent variables. For example, narrowing a bandwidth may increase the apparent intensity of a boost, while changing frequency selections can subtly alter how adjacent filters combine. The final response is the result of all selected settings working together.
The resulting curves often sound more natural and integrated than the sum of a series of isolated EQ moves, encouraging adjustment by ear rather than by specification alone.
The switchmode power supply is universal and compatible with all mains voltages worldwide. No voltage selection or modification needed. Only the appropriate cabling to the wall needs any adapting.
