elysia xfilter qube

On the outside, the elysia xfilter qube is a classic 4-band stereo equalizer with bass, treble, highs, and lows. Under the hood, however, there is exactly the highly developed engineering artistry for which the manufacturer is known: Not only are all units calibrated and tested by specially developed software, but also the potentiometers are selected and the capacitors are produced with a tolerance that is half as low as usual in the industry, so that the xFilter allows the user stereo operation with exactly the same sounding channels. Optimum shielding against electrical interference is provided by a copper-plated grounding board that runs close to the signal path conductors. All active components of the xFilter are completely discrete and designed in Class A circuitry.

For more complex EQ applications, bass and treble can be switched separately to high and low pass. The filters each have a resonance peak with which individual frequencies can be specifically emphasized; basses can be trimmed and defined at the same time, trebles become clear but not sharp. If you like even more treble, you can switch on a passive filter with encapsulated coil at 12kHz, which drops gently at 17kHz and gives the treble band the typical, noble LC filter sound. Finally, the filter quality of the two mid bands can be switched between narrow and wide. In addition, the potentiometers are rasterized in 41 steps, so earlier settings can be reproduced without any problems.

As with all elysia products, with the xFilter the user holds in his hands an independent and efficiently designed product that is also subject to the highest demands on audio quality by the manufacturer.

The Mastering Edition of the elysia xfilter qube works with precise +/-5dB per filter band, as required by a professional mastering environment; the xFilter, on the other hand, works with +/-13dB and +/-16dB more conducive to mixing.

The members of the elysia qube series are shipped in a custom-made, portable lunchbox housing. However, this case is only suitable for elysia qube products!
