The Trident A-Range 500 Series EQ module is a faithful recreation of the legendary Trident A-Range equalizer, now conveniently available in a 500 Series module format. Perfect for both the recording studio and broadcast environments, it delivers the iconic Trident sound that has shaped countless hit records. This module combines classic analog warmth with cutting-edge design, providing a versatile tool for audio engineers and producers seeking exceptional tonal control.

One of its standout features is the use of faders for level adjustment rather than traditional rotary potentiometers, offering a more intuitive and visible control over your sound. The mid-frequency EQ sections are peaking, while the high and low sections are shelving, ensuring you have the flexibility needed to sculpt any audio source. The module's all-discrete transistor circuitry and inductor-based mid bands ensure high-quality signal processing with minimal distortion.

Each EQ band is rotary-switch selectable, allowing you to choose from four different frequencies per band. The integrated high-pass and low-pass filters offer selectable cutoff points, providing further control over your sound palette. A built-in LED peak-level indicator warns you when your signal levels are too high, ensuring you maintain the integrity of your audio.

Whether you're tracking, mixing, or mastering, the Trident A-Range 500 Series EQ is equipped to deliver the rich, detailed sound that only a Trident can offer.
