Looks nice! Good price as well. I wonder how it compares to the BAX?

Hi Ben

I have been interested in these for a while so I am keen to hear your thoughts on it. I have a BAX but it seems like TK audio have been stepping up their products for mastering. I'm keen to hear the compressor too.

Hasn't landed in my hands unfortunately...not that I actually need another EQ!

It does look quite unique though.

As a recent TK Audio user this is very interesting! Bought two used TK Audio units this year and I've been enjoying them a lot, if this EQ is in the same quality range of those products it will be a great equalizer and at a great price...

Already spent too much money this year but this made me think...

feature to price ratio looks highly promising... let's hope it sounds twice the price!

may give the Bax some competition

can't get past that marker/crayon font on the right side of the panel though. cheapens an otherwise nicely designed panel. (but, that's the graphic designer in me talking.. and, hey... it's the SOUND that matters!)

I like the initial BC1 kind of minimal design and previous font better.
But sure, as long as it sounds good... looking forward to some reviews!

Yeah looks great. I just bought a bax and,,,, WOW. In love with that thing. Paired up with my Massive Passive, I'm happy for now. But this looks like wonderful kit. Especially with mid/side.

Only for the first two steps, then 1dB steps after that.

The top HPF frequency 100Hz can easily be changed by the user by changing 4 resistors (two/channel) which are placed in sockets.
If you like to use 200Hz for "mono-ing" bass in M/S mode, change right/side channel resistors from 2k8 to 1k4 ohm.

And to adjust the stereo image just use the level controls in M/S mode to widen or reduce.
