Ahead of the Curve with Pope Audio BAX 2020
In a world where complexity often overshadows simplicity, the Baxandall EQ stands out for its elegant approach to sound enhancement. Developed in the 1950s by audio pioneer Peter Baxandall, the "Bax" EQ offers a gently sloping curve for a more natural sound with reduced phase distortion compared to traditional shelving EQs.
BAX 2020: A Modern Take on Classic Tone
- Pope Audio's BAX 2020 reimagines this classic EQ design, integrating modern components to enhance its capabilities:
- Class A/B Discrete Op-Amp (DOA): The BAX 2020 features an "API-style" Discrete Op-amp at the input, which, when driven, introduces a desirable harmonic saturation. This adds a musical warmth to your audio, enhancing the natural tone of your recordings.
- Output Transformer (Extra & Beast models): For those who desire even more character in their sound, the Extra and Beast models include an output transformer, allowing for additional coloration and analogue saturation.
Features that Define Excellence
- Fully Analogue Signal Path: Ensures that every nuance of your audio is preserved, delivering pure, unaltered sound quality.
- True Bypass: When the effect is not needed, the signal path remains untouched, preserving the integrity of your original audio.
- Fully Balanced I/O: Guarantees minimal noise and maximum signal integrity for professional studio environments.
- Customizable DOA/Output Transformer Configurations: Choose between Gar2520 or Avedis 1122 Discrete Op-amps at both input and output stages, with the option to add a 2623 transformer for those seeking extra tonal coloration. Read More for detailed configurations.
- Hand-built in the UK: Each unit is crafted with care, ensuring quality and precision in every piece.
Applications for Every Sound
- Enhance Mixes: Add smooth, top-end sparkle to your mixes for clarity and definition.
- Analogue Drive: Introduce a subtle analogue "drive" to bass-heavy sources, giving them warmth and body.
- Clean Up: Use to clean up unwanted low-end mud on individual stems, keeping your mix clean and focused.
The Pope Audio BAX 2020 isn't just an EQ; it's a testament to the enduring power of simplicity in audio engineering, offering a tool that can transform your sound with elegance and authenticity.
