WAI <\/span>(wire and iron) 2950, is a 3 band, completely discrete class A inductor based ,500
\nseries eq. In a way, we recreated the legendary w295, an eq famous for its magically
\nbeautiful \u201chigh shelf\u201d and real vintage vibe, the secret weapon of many producers over
\nthe past decades. Input and output are balanced by our custom high class transformers,.
\nA special challenge was the output transformer, which, with the integrated LPF at 20khz
\nis a really critical element to not lose the well-known sonic character, and the choice
\nultimately fell on the 50%Nickl core. Also, the impedance of the input transformer, (which
\nin the genuine unit was relatively low) was increased to today’s standards and all this
\nresulted in an extended low freq response and a slightly \u201cexcited\u201d sound, if we compare it
\nwith the Siemens module. The pcb board is full of NOS bsx46 Phillips transistors, and as
\nmuch as possible Siemens NOS film capacitors.<\/span><\/p>\n

How does it sound?<\/span>
\nCompletely magical, huge, but still focused low end and incredibly sweet highs, creamy
\nmid range, very characteristic for an inductor based circuit.<\/span><\/p>\n

What can it be used on?<\/span>
\nAnywhere where you actually want character and sweetness.<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
