For over two decades the Renaissance Equalizer has been a trusted problem solver – neutral in sound, flexible and simple to use.

Its neutral sound means that changes happen only because of your settings, not because the EQ imposes its own sound. Every band spans the full range from 16 Hz to 21.357 kHz with up to ±18 dB of gain; all bands offer bell and shelf responses, and the low and high bands can also act as filters or as a resonant shelf recalling vintage analogue EQs. A real-time analyser shows the effect, including the frequency and musical note under the cursor, and one click on Trim adjusts the level to prevent clipping. Components with 2, 4 or 6 bands are included, along with three skins and 310 presets by 54 Grammy-winning producers and engineers such as Eddie Kramer and Thom Russo.
