A Prestigious Pair of Passive EQs for Silky Smooth Tone

features

Pultec’s passive EQs—introduced over 50 years ago—became mainstays for mastering, as well as for vocals, bass, guitar, and more. With their gentle tone-shaping talents, the EQP-1A (highs and lows) and MEQ-5 (midrange) set a standard for passive EQs that remains unchallenged to this day.

Waves modeled these beautifully maintained, hand-crafted legends from the personal collection of Grammy-winning producer/mixer Jack Joseph Puig (John Mayer, Lady Gaga, Rolling Stones). Now they can help you shape your sound.

  • Mix fat, punchy bass and drums with EQP-1A
  • Enrich vocals, guitars and synths with MEQ-5’s 3 midrange bands
  • Faithful to the transparent, gentle nature of passive circuity
  • Renowned for shaping tone with a light yet highly effective touch
  • A favorite for tone sculpting during both mixing and mastering
  • Get a tighter low end with EQP-1A’s ability to cut/boost the same frequencies simultaneously
