GML 9500

The 9500 is the Mastering Version of the 8200. The Gain, Frequency, and Q controls are fully-detented for absolute precision and repeatability. With 1/2dB steps of Boost and Cut and 24 different frequency choices per band, the 9500 is a powerful and comprehensive workhorse for Mastering Engineers around the world. This dual-mono, 3U “King of All Equalizers” requires two 8355 power supplies.

Features:

• All-discrete dual-mono mastering equalizer
• 5-band stereo parametric equalizer with 1/2dB increments of boost or cut
• 24 selectable frequencies per band
• Fully detented controls for precision settings
• Compact design in 3U rackmount case
