HVC250 Stereo 5-Band Parametric EQ

Just as I thought there'd be no surprises from an EQ...

I happened to learn about Z&H Designs long before they opened for business. I was visiting a friend who was helping them develop the HVC250. Got a chance to try a prototype and was immediately fascinated. I saw a giant white monster on his rack and casually fiddled around with it on a project we were working on. I started with the high and low shelf, and it was spot on. Then, I went further and tried bringing up the snare and vocals. It was enticing. Even though I had used SPL, Elysia, and some other more expensive EQs, the HVC250 handled it in its own unique way. I was just surprised to learn that an old design of Sontec is still very much relevant today. So, in the end, I was lucky enough to be given a small discount as an acquaintance. It’s now my go-to EQ. Would love to try the mastering version later!
