The instantaneously noticeable result is that the EQ has a pleasing sound of its own, its high transparency notwithstanding, which is far over the standard "digital" EQ called to perform the same tasks.

The latest and advanced techniques used in the DSP design of this module allowed the perfect rendition of this major league audio quality in the digital DAW format, a level of a sonic sameness that simply wasn't possible before. The "Analog" mode models a more analog behavior while in "Mastering" the controls become stepped and the "Analog" mode performs better.On top of the fully parametric and totally independent bands with almost no interaction (something that was not available until this circuit topology invention), its success derived from its no compromise quality level, based on discrete high-performance custom op-amps and totally transformer-less signal path which made for a transparent and pristine audio quality: this level of sonic excellence, superior transient response, almost non measurable non-linearities and extremely low distortion together with some perceivable "magic" in the circuit design makes it practically ubiquitous in mastering engineers' set of tools, from its origin to present days. While the trim allows manual adjustments the "Keep Gain" mode will keep (more or less) the overall loudness by reducing gain in non-boosted areas. To counter this an output trim as well as the "Keep Gain" mode is available. The hardware adds overall gain which can lead to clipping. The range -5 to +10 is the original range while below -5 results in cuts unavailable in hardware. The overall design was improved to allow deeper cuts.


For adding sparkle to recordings a further high frequency boost at 2.5, 5, 10, 20 and 40 kHz can be used. Luftikus has half-octave bands at 10, 40, 160 and 640 Hz, completed by a high shelf at 2.5 kHz.

Luftikus is a digital adaption to an analog EQ with fext half-octave bands and additional high frequency boost.Īs an improvement to the hardware it allows deeper cuts and supports a keep-gain mode where overall gain changes are avoided.
