Neumann W492 clone, 4-band EQ. Used, self-made. I've listed four of these so far, and this is the last one. The original was a module for broadcasting stations, but after they started appearing on the used market, they became common in racked setups in recording and mastering studios overseas. In terms of plugins, it's the NEU-W492 included in Antelope Audio's FPGA FX. Pulsar Audio also released a 3-band version, the W495, which has been gaining attention in recent years. It uses the main PCB and PSU unit from Creative Clowns, and a 1U case from NRGcase. It's a dual-mono setup with two identical units, calibrated for 115V input. LOW: 50-400Hz ±15dB shelving LOW MID: 600-1000Hz ±15dB peaking HI MID: 1-16kHz ±15dB peaking HI: 3-16kHz ±15dB shelving Each of the 4 bands can be turned ON/OFF independently. The parts used include European-made capacitors (ERO, rodenstein, WIMA) wherever possible. To improve stereo accuracy, resistors, bypass capacitors, and electrolytic capacitors in the power supply section are from Japanese brands. Wiring (power): Belden solid core wire Wiring (audio): Mogami 2994 Solder: KESTER Connectors: Neutrik Op-amp: NE5532 The IEC connector is 240V specification, so the power ON lamp will not light up with a 115V input. Boost/cut is ±15dB, the same as the original. It changes drastically with just a slight turn of the knob, so it's not suitable for mastering, but it was useful for recording because it makes sound shaping easy. I used it for everything except when I wanted a clear recording. Accessories include spare fuses and a power cable. Please prepare a step-up transformer separately. Shipping is planned via Yamato Takkyubin 140 size. If you have any questions, please ask in the comments.
