Custom Cutterhead EQ Curve
Custom Cutterhead EQ Curve
This service is to get the full potential out of your cutterhead. For example, if you use a Vinyl recorder T560, the EQ provided as stock is a 3 band EQ, just bass, middle and treble on the 'Main Unit'. However, after mapping countless heads we have found that it usually takes around 12 bands of EQ to flatten its response whilst accounting for its natural resonances. So as you can see, the 'Main Unit' which is a 3 band EQ will never be able to get the full potential out of a head and this EQ will replace the 'main unit'. A customer told us it is like 'taking a blanket off of the sound'.
This EQ will work with any cutterhead and you will implement this EQ curve within your DAW to generate a tailored curve for your head, then directly connecting to the cutter amp, ensuring optimal performance and the cleanest possible signal path.
We will require some information from you and your setup to make the curve for you.
Below are the necessary items and procedures that you will need for the process:
- Ability to cut at +4dbu on a calibrated system.
- Ability to record the cut back to your computer as a WAV file.
-
You will need Fab Filter Pro Q, the plugin for hosting the custom EQ curve.
Following your purchase, we will contact you to initiate the process.
Here is an example of a cut with our EQ mod. There are two files to download, one is the original digital WAV file, the other is a recording of cut with a VR T560 head using our EQ mod.
