Nice! what a smart concept. These will likely be the fist 500 series modules I'd buy.

Wow!

Looks pretty cool! Been looking for a simple eq for my lunchbox to complement my E27. This one and the soon coming Electrodyne eq really looks interesting!

Could someone describe the sonic qualities of Inward Connections gear? Hows the "SPA690 discrete amp block"?

Bad ass.


800 hertz and 400 hertz on the Vac Rac applied to a snare drum is the business end of a 2 by 4. Very interested to see how these stack up and how versatile the Q control makes it. 20db (cut or boost), yeesh. Someone's been drinking a lot of Red Bull.

I suppose I'll be the 1st to ask... $ ?

In my opinion dudes there are already so many 500 series eqs that do this, and at the same time lack the refined control that this unit has to offer.

This product looks very promising because it offers two overlapping bands ranging from surgical to musical- at what I feel is an excellent price.

Personally I have a need for this kind of eq, and would have no problem setting the bandwidth to max and boosting at 12k or 15k to create a shelf type of effect.

I think the designer was trying to offer something unique at a highly competitive price point.

I am not a sales rep or anything - but these will likely be the first outboard eq's I will buy.

I agree with all of this.

But a HPF would have been the icing on the cake for me.

That's a BIG price for such a small EQ. Seems as though the SSL EQ would be a better buy for nearly the same money.

Pretty sure its in the last tape op as an advert.

Two knob opto comp, I imagine based upon their small sidecar design. Is that LA2A/LA3A ish?

In regards to the Inward Opto- Vintageking has them but there's only like 15 more left and then they aren't going to make another run. Guess what- they sound amazing and are a steal for the price.
