Twice the EQ! Half the Coloration! Equalization is like salt; a little pinch and it can be just what your sonic stew needs; too much can ruin the whole bowl. The Massive Passive is an artist's EQ, an EQ that doesn't sound like an EQ. It's a two channel, four band equalizer, with additional high pass and low pass filters. With the Massive Passive you can add totally natural and "organic" sounding timbres to your overall sound, subtly sweetening or shading audio to achieve the desired effect. The amount of control you get is amazing, while the sound remains completely natural. The great performance of the Massive Passive is due to its special design. No active circuitry is used for tone shaping (that's the "passive" part). Only metal film resistors, film capacitors and hand-wound inductors sculpt the sound. The result is a an EQ that will take your sound to the next level and deliver the creative spark you look for in creating great music.

Customer Reviews  massivo!   by from dublin,ireland, January 20, 2008 Music Background:  sound engineer student “The Massive Passives intended use is for radical EQ changes sometimes needed for tracking as well as the more subtle shadings for vocals and mastering. The Manley Massive Passive gets its unique sound from its special hardware makeup. This eq uses no active circuitry for tone shaping. This gives this eq the ability to subtly sweeten or shade the audio. Even when using extreme...” Read More • Click Here to Read More Customer Reviews • Write Your Own Review Sweetwater Expert Advice     "My experience with the Massive Passive has been rewarding in that my mixes are musically transformed as if the elements are tied together in very much the same way a half-inch analog two-track or very nice stereo bus compressor does. It is not "effecty", however, but it does exhibit strong vintage character. It is smooth and musical in it's operation and works wonders on elements that are difficult to equalize such as vocals. If you are considering an EQ that exhibits qualities such as I have described, then look no further - the competition simply does not exist in either hardware or plug-in form."
