This Parametric EQ Wrote The Book!
The GML8200 Parametric Equalizer is brought to you from George Massenburg, the man who invented the very concept of parametric equalization! The 2U rackmount 8200 has been an industry standard for over twenty years, and can be found on virtually every major recording studio's stereo bus.
GML8200 Parametric Equalizer at a Glance:
- Industry-standard EQ found in most major studios worldwide
- 5-band EQ with overlapping bands and 15 dB boost or cut
- Incredibly transparent and natural sounding
The choice of studios all over the world
Go into any major recording studio, anywhere on earth, and you'll probably find at least one GML8200 Parametric Equalizer in the rack or built into the board. It's that clear! George Massenburg, the inventor of parametric equalization, created the GML8200 for no-compromise audio environments in which the wrong EQ could mean the difference between a Grammy and an also-ran.
Five bands, extraordinary control
Each of the GML8200's five broadly-overlapping bands offers 15dB of boost or cut and adjustable bandwidth (or "Q") from 0.4 to 4. The lowest and highest bands also can be switched to Shelf mode. With uncommon front panel simplicity you can shape your signal a little or a lot!
An astonishingly clean, clear sound
Quite simply, the 8200 is the archetype Stereo Parametric Equalizer. Its extraordinary resolution, benchmark transparency, generous headroom, and surgical precision have been imitated by many other equalizers, but exceeded by no other.

"Even though this equalizer comes from the man who invented the parametric EQ years back, it's still without a doubt one of the most versatile and useful equalizers on the market, and works great for everything from broad tonal shaping to precise surgical tweaks. The amount of boost and cut you can apply with this Eq is almost unnatural... when I use it I find myself having to constantly switch the EQ in and out to make sure that it's on because it's so transparent and neutral. There's a reason it's been the industry standard for decades, and surely will be for decades to come."

"Definitive clarity. No one seems to argue the point. Everyone loves GML and the 8200 is a staple in the industry for distinction at every frequency you can sweep. No harshness, nothing brittle, no grit. Just clean as a whistle."

"Well, even if George Massenberg was not my friend, I would recommend this EQ as it's the REAL DEAL! Honestly, if you can buy from the inventor of the parametric EQ industry, why wouldn't you? Guess what George Massenberg didn't invent? Good sound! He just figured out ways of getting it into recordings! I'm honored that George comes here to Sweetwater and trains us and helps us. That further proves what he's really concerned with - getting good recordings."

"One of the best, most useful hardware EQs for a studio professional. George Massenburg invented parametric equalization, so is it any surprise that his own version of it is so highly regarded? The 8200 has a smooth, transparent sound that is great not just for fixing things in the mix, but also for sculpting your sound!"

"Most of my customers ask me "What are some ways I can improve my sound?" One way of course is to have some great outboard gear. A must-have in any studio is a great EQ. If you're serious about your music and sound quality, then you have to include the GML 8200 in your arsenal."
