Description
IGS Audio 825EQ is a stereo tube mastering equalizer in a 3U, 19-inch rackmount chassis. IGS describes it as a mastering EQ with all stepped 24-pole ELMA switch controls, UTM transformer-balanced inputs and outputs, three audio transformers per channel, and three ECC88-family tubes per channel. The equalizer uses proportional Q variable from 0.3 to 6 and is available or configured with ±6 dB or ±12 dB boost/cut range; IGS lists ±12 dB each band as maximum gain. Technical specifications include balanced XLR 10 k ohm input impedance, 600 ohm balanced XLR output impedance, +4 dBu operating level, +22 dBu maximum input, +26 dBu maximum output, 10 Hz-50 kHz frequency response within ±0.4 dB, dynamic range greater than 112 dB at 1 kHz/+24 dBu, 102 dB SNR and <0.049% THD+N.
