Heritage Audio has recently acquired Lang Electronics Inc., a professional audio
\ncompany from the 1960s dedicated to producing high quality equipment and
\nreplacement parts at very accessible prices. The most desired product was the Lang
\nPEQ-2 Program Equalizer. Unfortunately, not very many were made and those that
\nhave survived until today are carefully guarded by their lucky owners. Many have said
\nthat they actually prefer this model to the ubiquitous Pultec program equalizers. Both
\nare essentially the same patented Western Electric design, very high quality passive
\nequalizers with inductors, but the fact that the PEQ-2 offers a sharper, tighter response
\nmakes it ideal for mix bus use where flabby, undefined sound can ruin your results. A
\nfew important differences are: The PEQ-2 has nearly twice as many frequency options
\nto choose from…26 compared to the Pultec \u0301s 14. The low end is infinitely more
\ncontrollable as the LANG gives you the ability to Boost and Cut at different frequencies,
\nunlike the Pultec. There is also a very useful 20 kHz option in the High Peak Boost
\nsection that can really be helpful. . Those that are lucky enough to still have them will not
\nlet them go. In fact, many have stated that they have become their \u0301secret weapon \u0301 and
\ntotally rely on them to produce their trademark sound, including Allen Sides, Andrew
\nSheps and Joe Chiccarelli just to name a few.
\nSo, once again, Heritage Audio is on the scene to make this nearly lost treasure
\navailable to any and all. After months and months of studying the originals, the PEQ-2
\nhas been reborn and is back by popular demand. The likelihood of encountering one of
\nthese 1960 \u0301s works of art let alone being able to pay the ridiculous prices, is very low….
\nBut not anymore. The LANG PEQ-2 is now available for purchase so grab one while
\nyou can….or better yet, grab two for stereo bus use…you will not regret it.
\nWhile having a very simple and easy layout, the PEQ-2 can be deceiving as it is actually
\ncapable of some very extreme processing all while maintaining the musicality of your<\/p>\n
signal. With independent controls for Boost and Droop (Cut) for both the High and Low
\nbands you can quickly transform your material in interesting, creative ways that you have
\nalmost certainly never considered before and are not even possible with the Pultec
\ndesign. Once you\u2019ve tried moulding your mixes with these you\u2019ll wonder how you ever
\nmanaged before.
\nThe ability to boost and cut at the same or similar frequencies produces exciting new
\nequalized response curves. Experimentation is key, but you will quickly realize just how
\npowerful this feature can be. Within no time the PEQ-2 will most likely become one of
\nyour most used studio tools. The sheer power if offers with the ease and speed of
\nachieving results is impressive…and addictive.
\nNot only does the PEQ-2 offer Low Shelf boost and cut control and High Shelf cut, but it
\nalso has a High Peak Boost with a completely variable Q (Bandwidth) setting that spans
\nfrom Sharp to Broad to cover any needs. What\u2019s more, the range of Boost actually
\nvaries depending on what your selected Bandwidth setting is to offer a very smooth and
\nnatural response at all times… Very clever indeed.
\nAnd like all the Heritage Audio products, the LANG PEQ-2 comes equipped with custom
\naudio transformers at the Input and Output to make sure you always have a powerful,
\nsolid, noise-free signal to work with.
\nLang Electronics Inc. was famous for providing very high quality equipment at
\nreasonable prices and Heritage Audio is intent on maintaining that philosophy. The
\nPEQ-2 will be within everyone \u0301s reach.<\/p>\n
