About Manley Labs Enhanced Pultec EQ

Experience the power and precision of the Manley Enhanced Pultec EQP-1A Equalizer, a modern interpretation of the historic Pultec Equalizer originally produced by Pulse Techniques, Inc. This state-of-the-art audio equipment, crafted by Manley, is a testament to their commitment to superior sound quality and innovative design.

The Enhanced Pultec EQP-1A Equalizer features additional frequencies not found in the original model, providing you with a wider range of sound manipulation options. It boasts a robust power supply and the renowned Manley line amps, making it an exceptional choice for enhancing kick drum and guitar sounds.

This equalizer is equipped with a Manley input transformer, complete with nickel laminations housed in a mu-metal case, ensuring optimal signal integrity. It also features a phase reverse switch for balanced XLR input and an alternate transformerless 1/4" HI-Z input for added versatility.

The unit comes with a bypass switch and Auto-Mute with warmup delay for seamless operation. The BOOST and CUT controls are made from silent conductive plastic, ensuring quiet operation and longevity. The sealed gold-contact Grayhill frequency select switches add a touch of elegance and durability.

The Enhanced Pultec EQP-1A Equalizer is designed to operate at the mains voltage of the original destination country, with options for 100V, 120V, or 220-240VAC. Please note that the power transformer must be replaced to change the mains operating voltage.

Manley has been building these Pultec EQs since 1990, with the blessing of Eugene Shenk, the original creator. The Manley Pultec units utilize a simple and clean all-tube make-up gain block to reamplify the signal after the passive EQ circuit. This allows for the EQ to be set to 'flat' positions or bypassed entirely.

The Manley Enhanced Pultec EQP-1A Equalizer is available in both single and 2-channel versions, using 1 x 12Ax7WA and 1 x 6414 (or 5965) in their all-tube single-ended line amplifier for gain make-up and a robust sound. The unit offers both transformer coupled balanced and direct capacitor coupled unbalanced outputs for easy interface and sonic variety.

In conclusion, the Manley Enhanced Pultec EQP-1A Equalizer is a superior audio tool that combines the charm of the classic Pultec Equalizer with modern enhancements for a truly exceptional sound experience.
