It also features a switchable slope allowing you to alter the focus at the high and low frequencies plus a low peak setting that magnifies the bottom end. The 1974 is perfect for tonal shaping, staying true to the sound of the 70s and ideal for any musician.

Switchable Slope Setting. Very few analogue parametric equalisers have an adjustable slope on the low and high cut filters, and is yet another feature of the 1974 that allows you to take control of your audio. The filter slopes of the 1974 have been chosen for their musicality - allowing you to adjust the focus of the audio at the bottom and top ends of your recording but not so harsh as to be a very noticeable brick wall filter.
POWER CONNECTION The 1974 unit will be supplied with a power cable suitable for domestic power outlets in your country. For your own safety, it is important that you use this cable to connect to the mains supply earth. The cable must not be tampered with or modified.
A typical setup for connecting the 1974 would be by the use of a Y-lead between the two input and output xlr’s on the rear of the 1974 and insert point for the respective channel of the desk or interface for the digital workstation - this would be repeated for both channels.
CHAPTER 2 CONTROL DESCRIPTION The genuine stereo linked operation of the 1974 makes adjustment quick and extremely simple using just one set of controls to alter both channels. The 1974 uses precision potentiometers, each one being matched for left/right accuracy to within fine tolerances by our trained technicians, so that both channels operate identically, and also have 21 position indented operation, providing exceptional accuracy for fast and simple recall.

EQ band. On the 1974 the width of the effected signal is measured as Bandwidth (as opposed to ‘Q’, which it is inversely related to) and on the Low-Mid and High-Mid bands are fully parametric (as opposed to semi, quasi or fixed that you may find on other eq’s) meaning that the bandwidths...
A great way to improve your audio so that instruments sit better in the mix is by removing any unnecessary frequencies using the Low Cut and High Cut filters. The 1974 is the perfect tool for this because it has fully variable low and high cut filters and also variable slope, allowing you to tune in to precise frequencies.
