Like all TL Audio equipment, the interfacing options couldn’t be more flexible - separate input and output level controls allow easy level matching with any other equipment, and a choice of balanced and unbalanced line inputs/outputs plus instrument DI inputs means you can get yourself up and running in seconds. Once you have experienced high quality equalisation then you won’t want to record without it - so if you’ve always thought that your console EQ is good enough, then just try the 5013.

The 5013 employs two valve stages per channel, in the form of a Sovtek ECC83/12AX7A twin triode valve. One stage is positioned pre the EQ filters, and one is post EQ: both are run at 150V DC from a fully stabilised PSU.

Main Features:

• Continuously variable input and output gain controls (-20dB to +20dB)
• Four bands of fully parametric equalisation per channel: LF: 30Hz to 1kHz, LM: 100Hz to 3kHz, HM: 1kHz to 12kHz, HF: 3kHz to 20kHz
• Each band offers 15dB of cut or boost
• Each band features variable Q (bandwidth) between 0.5 and 5
• Shelving mode available on LF and HF bands (by pulling out Q control)
• ‘Fat’ contour switch provides a gentle LF/HF lift combined with a mid cut, for extra warmth
• EQ bypass switch on both channels
• Front panel instrument input for guitars, keyboards etc
• Drive and Peak LEDs - to indicate internal signal levels
• Balanced XLR line inputs/outputs duplicated on unbalanced jack connectors
• Optional stereo 24 bit digital output (DO-2)
