The SPL PQ Mastering Equalizer is a two channel fully parametric mastering grade EQ, that offers precision, flexibility, and detailed musicality.

The SPL PQ Mastering Equalizer is a new revised edition of the well-known SPL PQ Mastering Equalizer – Model 2050. Both units are based on our 120V Rail Technology. The new PQ features the same high-quality characteristics as the previous model. All five bands can each be activated or deactivated and you got the possibility (for every single band) to separately switch between Constant Q and Proportional Q. This kind of circuit has not yet been achieved in any other equalizer. Each channel can completely be activated or deactivated, thanks to Auto-Bypass, even automated in a freely selectable time frame. Bypass of each band and constant Q of the left side can be controlled by the right side in Link mode.

Thanks to the 1/4 Gain-Switch, you can reduce a maximum increase or attenuation of the amplitude by the factor 3/4, which regulates the potentiometer from max +/-20dB to +/-5dB cut. This gives you the possibility to perform small corrections, as common in Mastering or higher amplitudes in Proportional-Q mode. Thanks to the detented potentiometers, a precise recall is very easy to realize. You can also adjust parameters Gain, Frequency and Q in 41 steps with the detented potentiometers.

What We Think

avatar

When we started working with the SPL PQ Mastering Equalizer, it immediately stood out as a mastering tool that balances precision with musicality in a very satisfying way. While using it on mixes and program material, the flexibility of the five-band design became apparent right away. Each band offers overlapping frequency ranges and fully adjustable Q, giving us the ability to move seamlessly between focused, surgical adjustments and broader, more musical shaping — all without feeling constrained. What really impressed the staff at Front End Audio was how much control the PQ offers without sacrificing tone. Being able to engage or bypass each band individually, along with the option to run the unit in dual mono or linked stereo, made it easy to adapt to different mastering scenarios. Even when making more significant boosts or cuts than you’d typically expect from a mastering EQ, the sound retained its integrity and clarity. There’s a pristine quality to the PQ that still feels alive and musical, never sterile or flat. It’s a powerful, refined equalizer that rewards careful listening and thoughtful adjustments, and another strong example of SPL getting the balance between accuracy and musicality exactly right.
