xfilter 500 – introduction _x000D_
_x000D_
The xfilter 500 is a true linked stereo EQ in the 500 series format. It gives you the expensive sound of an all class-A equalizer in a surprisingly affordable package, with a precise stereo image based on computer-selected, stepped potentiometers and low tolerance film capacitors. _x000D_
_x000D_
This EQ is serious about flexibility. It offers high and low shelf bands which can be switched into high and low cut filters with resonance, two mid peak filters with wide and narrow Q, plus additional passive LC stages with shielded coils for a glorious top end. _x000D_
_x000D_
With its exceptionally open sound, straight transient projection and solid punch, the xfilter is the perfect match for your xpressor – or any other piece of delicious outboard gear! _x000D_

xfilter 500 – features _x000D_
_x000D_
?100% Class-A Topology _x000D_
Discrete input, output and mix stages plus the complete audio path running in constant class-A mode are the basis for an exceptionally transparent, wide and open sounding EQ. _x000D_
_x000D_
True Stereo Operation _x000D_
As one of the few exceptions in the market, the xfilter 500 processes both of its channels with just one set of controllers – a true stereo linked EQ. _x000D_
_x000D_
Computer-Selected Potentiometers _x000D_
Every single dual and quad layer pot we buy is measured with custom computer routines, and only the good ones go into production. _x000D_
_x000D_
Special Low Tolerance Capacitors _x000D_
The special series of film caps used for the xfilter 500 performs twice as good as the industry standard in terms of component tolerance. _x000D_
_x000D_
Resonance High & Low Cut Filters _x000D_
The shelving filters can be switched into high and low cut filters with an additional resonance peak. Not ordinary, but extremely useful. _x000D_
_x000D_
Switchable Filter Quality _x000D_
The quality of the peak filters can be switched from a wide to a narrow Q factor which remains independent from the setting of the gain controller. _x000D_
_x000D_
Additional Passive High-Band _x000D_
The beautiful sheen only passive filters can deliver… the xfilter 500 has it all. An additional LC filter with shielded coils gives you the ‘Passive Massage’. _x000D_
_x000D_
Stepped Controllers _x000D_
All potentiometers on the xfilter 500 have 41 steps, which is a great help for recalling your previous sessions fast and precisely. _x000D_
_x000D_
Ground Layer Shield _x000D_
One of the four layers of both PCBs is a full copper plane which helps to reduce interferences caused by electric fields. _x000D_
