The RJR BAX II Mastering EQ is built to order.  Please allow a minimum 6-8 weeks for delivery.
 
Building on the design of the original RJR BAX Mastering EQ, the RJR BAX II Mastering EQ is a stereo 3 band eq with high and low baxandall shelves, a sweepable parametric mid filter, and individual high pass and low pass filters. The high and low baxandall shelves as well as the parametric mid band each have 6 selectable frequency settings.  All three of the main frequency bands have a boost/cut range of +/-0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6 and 8 dB via stepped ELMA rotary switches. In addition to the three main frequency bands, the BAX II also has separate 6-position high pass and low pass filters, with switchable -6dB or -12dB per octave cut slopes. The bypass is a hard bypass executed via high quality Omron relays.
 
Baxandall equalizers have a very natural sound, and are excellent sound shaping filters. This particular eq is perfect for transparently shaping the overall tonal balance of mixes, submixes, and individual channels. Its use of high quality 1% metal film resistors, low-esr Nichicon HE electrolytic caps in the audio path, low-esr Panasonic FC electrolytic caps in the power supply, WIMA film caps, C0G NP0 ceramic caps, and ultra clean high speed LT1357 and LT1358 opamps allows you to adjust the tonal balance of source audio without imposing any additional sonic characteristics on it. This is one very clean, very transparent eq!
 
HIGHLIGHTS:
 
- 100% recallability with stepped controls throughout
- Extremely clean and transparent audio path
- Extremely low noise floor
- All contacts (switches and connectors) in the audio path are either gold plated or gold flash plated to prevent audio quality degradation from oxidized contacts
- Perfect for tone shaping without changing the sonic character of source audio
- Built by hand, one unit at a time, in the USA
