Key Features
Product Ref: 117968
The XFILTER-500 is a true stereo linked EQ that processes both of its channels with just one set of controllers. Usually, using a stereo EQ on a stereo buss brings with it complications, as not many units have the possibility to link their two mono channels for stereo processing. This takes time as you'll have to fiddle around with many knobs to match the settings. With the XFILTER-500 you won't have to worry about any of that as it operates in true stereo.
The Elysia XFILTER-500 gives you the flexibility to tweak your sound. Its outer shelving filters can be switched between high and low-pass filters that also feature an additional resonance peak at the knee frequency, providing a very useful specialty. These shelve filters on their own are sweet-sounding and they can be used to add some air and fundamentals to your tracks easily and efficiently. What's special about these is that you can also independently switch them to either become low and high-cut filters with 12dB per octave slope with an additional resonance peak, allowing for some useful filter curves. Lower frequencies can be made punchier and cleaner by using a low cut with resonance. However, resonance can also be used to stretch signals in the bass range because the resonance filter causes a longer post-oscillation time. For higher frequencies, you can use that resonance filter to put an accent on a selected frequency without completely boosting the whole HF spectrum and causing harshness.
In addition to the four flexible bands, the XFILTER-500 also features a switchable fixed LC filter for polishing that high frequency range. This is called the 'Passive Massage'. The LC filter features a slight resonant peak at 12kHz and starts to fall off at 17kHz. It allows you to add beautiful sheen to the top end of a signal. The saturation-like storage effect of the coil focuses on the area around the peak without pushing the complete high frequency spectrum too much. The inductors used in the XFILTER-500 have their own shields to reduce influences like hum. Open up your top end with the push of a button, it's as easy as that.
The XFILTER-500 is here for all your surgical needs. Filter quality can be switched between wide and narrow Q factors, allowing you to go in deep with your EQ and precisely cut or boost frequencies to enhance your sound. Thanks to the stepped controllers, it is easy to precisely recall your settings.
The XFILTER-500 features a complete audio path that runs constantly in class-A mode, giving the XFILTER-500 an exceptionally transparent, wide and open sound. This discrete approach allows Elysia to design every single stage in signal processing. Original circuitry has been specially designed to deliver outstanding clarity. It constantly operates in permanent class-A mode, removing any crossover distortion and keeping the sound character wide, open and transparent.
