Legend Revive All-discrete Customisable 56V Linear PSU Stereo
Regular price £2,123.00 GBP
Import duty included for US, EU, and UK. Shipping calculated at checkout.
HVC250 is a tribute to the legendary Sontec MEP-250 equalizer. It took 5 years to redesign the circuits, to eventually produce many parts in house, to handbuild the machine, as well as to test with 100+ commercial projects.
 
We find ourselves using the HVC250 more often than any other EQ in the studio, thanks to how easy it is to deliver a satisfying and natural result, which doesn't sound engineered at all.
 
Regardless of its root in the great analog fashion, the HVC250 is an EQ that every studio needs.

"Precise, clear, wide, and vivid" - Mixing engineers have given those words after using HVC250 for a while.

Did anyone say ANALOG?

HVC250 is built in the expensive way. The 14 independent high-voltage opamps inside outperform the traditional IC opamps at bandwidth and dynamics. The electric components are made by Nikon, Motorola, Philips, and ON. The all-discrete circuit boards preserve the beauty of analog equipment, while this modern-day design makes it possible to stay clean at the output.

As powerful as a tank

A 56V high-voltage linear power supply unit is essential to HVC250's solid, detailed, clear, and spacious sound quality. It helps handle a higher dynamic range, offers more headroom, and reduces noise effectively. While others are drifting away, we stick to this time-tested solution with even extra expense on a more effective cooling system.

Effective and fun

Each independent band offers a range of ±12dB (hardware maximum at ±16dB) and comes with its own bypass. They highly overlap each other. With Q between 0.6 and 4, you could perform surgical tricks on any track. With shelf option at air and sub bands, you can do the high & low stuff which is inherited well from its ancestor. Despite having a variety of options, users tend to feel engaged and are able get lovely sound within a few tweaks.

Handcrafted & verified by human, for human.

Before it gets shipped, 2 real mixing engineers will test it and sign their names, so will every craftsman who participated in the making. Boutique-grade craftsmanship makes no effort in producing many.
