HVC250 is a tribute to the legendary Sontec MEP-250 equalizer. It took 5 years to redesign the circuits, to eventually produce many parts in house, to handbuild the machine, as well as to test with 100+ commercial projects.<\/div>\n
We find ourselves using the HVC250 more often than any other EQ in the studio, thanks to how easy it is to deliver a satisfying and natural result, which doesn’t sound engineered at all.<\/div>\n
Regardless of its root in the great analog fashion, the HVC250 is an EQ that every studio needs.<\/div>\n

    Did anyone say ANALOG?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

    HVC250 is built in the expensive way. The 14 independent high-voltage opamps inside outperform the traditional IC opamps at bandwidth and dynamics. The electric components are made by Nikon, Motorola, Philips, and ON. The all-discrete circuit boards preserve the beauty of analog equipment, while this modern-day design makes it possible to stay clean at the output.<\/p>\n

    As powerful as a tank<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
    \n

    A 56V high-voltage linear power supply unit is essential to HVC250’s solid, detailed, clear, and spacious sound quality. It helps handle a higher dynamic range, offers more headroom, and reduces noise effectively. While others are drifting away, we stick to this time-tested solution with even extra expense on a more effective cooling system.<\/p>\n

    Effective and fun<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

    Each independent band offers a range of \u00b112dB (hardware maximum at \u00b116dB) and comes with its own bypass. They highly overlap each other. With Q between 0.6 and 4, you could perform surgical tricks on any track. With shelf option at air and sub bands, you can do the high & low stuff which is inherited well from its ancestor. Despite having a variety of options, users tend to feel engaged and are able get lovely sound within a few tweaks.<\/p>\n

    Handcrafted & verified by human, for human.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

    Before it gets shipped, 2 real mixing engineers will test it and sign their names, so will every craftsman who participated in the making. Boutique-grade craftsmanship makes no effort in producing many.<\/p>\n
