Overview
Up for sale is an absolute powerhouse of a stereo equalizer: the Elysia Xfilter 500. Known across the industry as one of the most transparent, musical, and versatile 500-series EQs ever designed, this unit is in pristine, mint condition.
The Xfilter 500 is a true stereo-linked equalizer, meaning a single set of controls governs both channels perfectly. This makes it an invaluable asset for your mix bus, mastering chain, or stereo instrument tracking (like drums, synths, and pianos) where maintaining perfect phase coherence and stereo balance is absolutely critical.
It has been lightly used in a smoke-free, professional studio environment, looks flawless, and functions perfectly.
Key Features & Explanatory Details
True Stereo Operation: No more tedious matching of left and right channels. All potentiometers are stereo-linked to give you immediate, precise adjustments across the entire stereo field.
100% Discrete Class-A Topology: True to Elysia’s high-end design philosophy, the audio path is entirely Class-A. It delivers an incredibly open, transparent sound stage with pristine high-frequency extension and punchy, tight low-end without adding unwanted mud or distortion.
Flexible 4-Band Layout:
Low & High Shelving Bands: Can be flexibly configured. The low shelf can act as a standard shelf or be switched to a protected low cut filter. The high shelf operates similarly or can switch to a high cut filter.
Parametric Mid Bands (Low Mid & High Mid): Feature switchable Wide/Narrow Q factors (as seen via the "Narrow Q" LEDs) for effortless acoustic correction or surgical notched frequencies.
The Famous "Passive Massage" Effect: This unit features a dedicated passive header stage that adds a beautiful, resonant top-end shimmer reminiscent of legendary passive equalizer designs, instantly giving your mix an expensive "finished" feel.
Stepped Pots for Perfect Recall: Every single knob on the unit is stepped, ensuring that your recall is 100% accurate every single time you return to a mix.
