MADRID, SPAIN: European pro audio manufacturer Heritage Audio is
proud to announce that it has acquired the rights to Lang Electronics,
Inc. — an audio equipment brand originally from New York, USA,
previously popularised throughout the Fifties and Sixties as a better
value alternative to other professional audio companies of the day on
account of its high-quality products, particularly its Model PEQ-2
(a.k.a. ‘LANG PROGRAM EQUALIZER’) that is now held in high regard by
many discerning artists, engineers, and producers who consider it to be
better than a Pultec when choosing it as their secret weapon, which is
why the historic brand’s new owner plans to bring it back to life as a
creative tool fit for the 21st century with nothing now standing in its
way of returning with all the benefits of a brand- new piece providing
problem-free, heavy-duty usage — as of December 14…
Originally operating out of downtown New York, Lang Electronics, Inc.
enjoyed a reasonable run stretching from the Fifties through to the
Sixties. Starting out by providing enhanced replacement parts and
modifications to improve the performance and reliability of other
well-known audio processors and recorders used in the broadcast and
recording industries of the time, the company soon set about supplying
complete audio systems, designing equipment of its own at very
competitive prices — often with better quality than their
contemporaries. Cue some of the then-most spectacular tools around, some
of which continue to be revered to this day, decades later, including
the Model PEQ-2 (a.k.a. ‘LANG PROGRAM EQUALIZER’) that is now held in
high regard by many discerning artists, engineers, and producers who
consider it to be better than a Pultec when choosing it as their secret
weapon.
Pressing pause at today, and Heritage Audio is intent on offering
professional, high-quality equipment at amazing value, a philosophy that
is somewhat similar to what Lang Electronics, Inc. built its reputation
on back in the day. It is all the more fitting, then, that the European
pro audio manufacturer has acquired the rights to that historic audio
equipment brand. But more exciting still, the first product to be
produced by Heritage Audio after this well- intentioned acquisition will
be the Lang PEQ-2.
As a brand-new piece at a price that will put it within reach of most
musicians and engineers, it will, without doubt, provide problem-free
access to some of the sweetest-sounding tones and textures the industry
has ever heard!
However, it is only a question of time until Heritage Audio — a European
pro audio manufacturer not known for resting on its laurels — makes
more products bearing the lauded LANG appellation available at amazing
value. So stay tuned!
