BAE 1073MPL & B15

soundonsound.com

BAE's B15 EQ module offers impressive sonic capabilities with its wide range of frequency options and creative potential for audio coloration. Its craftsmanship is evident in the solid, hand-wired design, making it a top contender among audio engineers. However, its fitment issues within Radial racks could be a deal-breaker for some, requiring careful consideration of your existing setup. Despite this, the B15's performance is hard to ignore, and it stands out for its unique Avedis-inspired EQ design, making it a highly recommended option for those seeking to enhance their audio processing toolkit.
