500 series EQ's for 2 buss?

jonnypowell · 13th November 2007

I'm looking in to buying my first 500 series rack and wanted to know if any of the available EQ's would be ideal to use as a stereo pair for 2 bus duties?

I was looking in to getting a dedicated stereo device, but the decent ones are a little out of my budget right now..

Also, on a side note - if the settings on either side weren't matched would you get any phasing issues? Like you would with 2 different compressors..

Cheers,
Jonny

I've always had good results with the E27's on the two buss. The high frequencies choices are great for opening up the top end.

If I was looking for something to really add bigness and character to a mix the A Designs EM-PEQ is amazing. If I needed a little more flexibility and control I would go with the Avedis.
