Stam Audio EQPM-2A: 3 Legends. 2 Channels. 1 Rack.
The EQPM-2A is a stereo and fully stepped accurate sounding replica of the two of the most beloved equalizers in history, the all tube EQP-1 and the solid-state EQP-1-SS. It also includes the mid-band of the famous MEQ. Using Sowter and Moby transformers, Carnhill Inductors and Vishay capacitors, this EQ uses the highest quality sounding transformers and parts on the market which are identical to their vintage counterparts providing the most accurate frequency response to an original Pultec at any price point.
Unlike any other replica in the market, the EQPM-2A comes with fully stepped input and output controls, both solid-state and tube make up gain allowing you to choose from both the famous API 2520 driven EQP-1-SS and the traditional EQP-1 in a single unit as well as the mid-band frequencies found on the MEQ, making it the only unit in the market, both original or replica, that has the capability to both cut and boost the mid frequencies, control the units THD at will and switch between tube and solid-state amplifiers.
The Transformers
The EQPM-2A uses 4 Sowter audio transformers, two Moby output transformers and two “A” style custom made in the US output transformers on the solid state section. It also includes six tubes including two 6X4 tube on the power supply famous for its “sag” on these units and two SA-25 Op Amps. Each unit comes with 8 transformers, 6 tubes and 4 Stam Audio’s SA-25 Op-Amps.
Sowter and Moby transformers far exceed any other offering available in the market when it comes to matching the low end, sonic timbre and the unique frequency response found on the original units.
Aside from making an exact sounding replica affordable, we also wanted to make it size friendly and therefore decided to make a stereo unit in the same 3U classic faceplate with stereo controls. All switches are matched within a 0.1% tolerance and all tubes are matched for perfect stereo operation with fully stepped switches.
The EQPM-2A is built with premium components
Utilizing custom Sowter UK Transformers, premium Carnhill Inductors, NOS tubes, Fully Stepped controls, Corner Dubillier Capacitors and Allen Bradley Carbon Resistors we have paid tribute to this legend and believe it to be the most accurate and best sounding recreation made today.
Each unit is handmade in Chile by us with great care and detail and goes through a 72 hour burn making sure these units will perform flawlessly for many years to come
