Legendary Baxandall EQ for Your Studio
The TK Audio TEQ arms your studio with the prodigious sound-sculpting prowess of TK Audio’s next-generation 2-band Baxandall-style equalizer in a 2-channel rack unit. The TEQ is a dual-mono design based on the Baxandall circuits of classic EQs from the 1950s, delivering the smooth, natural-sounding equalization you’ve been looking for. If your low end is lacking punch, or your highs aren’t shining through the way you like, this is the piece of gear you need, regardless of the program material you’re working with. Unlike those of many modern EQs, Baxandall curves are broad, flattering, and ideal for overall shaping of your signal rather than surgical notching. The high and low bands are selectable between shelving and peak — perfect for quickly tuning your mixes and masters. The TEQ also features an onboard M-S function that lets you process your mid and side signals individually. With its beautiful, broad curves and impressive flexibility, the TEQ is a studio essential — the perfect complement to the pinpoint precision of your surgical EQs.

Flexibility and control for superior sound
The TEQ is a straightforward equalizer with tons of sound-shaping power. It starts with balanced inputs and outputs for pristine signal routing. Along with Baxandall smoothness, you get the control you need to shape your sound. Variable highpass and lowpass filters give you flexibility when tailoring your frequency extremes, and you can switch both high and low bands from peak to shelving. Precision stepped-knob control means all your settings are easily recallable from session to session and helps to keep the EQ consistent between your right and left stereo channels.
M-S function for controlling your stereo field
The TEQ’s M-S function lets you shape the sound of your mid and side signals separately before they are decoded back to a stereo L/R signal. Now you can do all your final equalization outside of your DAW for true analog warmth and response. Featuring minimalist circuit paths with no electrolytic capacitors, the TEQ delivers high-fidelity audio with vanishingly low noise and harmonic distortion.
