Millennia’s NSEQ-HF is the high frequency peaking/shelving section of the industry-standard NSEQ-4 in a 500 Series module. The NSEQ’s HF section has been used on countless recordings as a not-so secret trick to add musical sparkle to vocals, acoustic instruments, and entire mixes. The most frequent comment heard from mastering clients: “…the 21k doesn’t sound like an EQ … It sounds like music.”
Choose Peaking Or Shelving Filter Shapes
Select 1 of 6 frequency centres from 4.8k to 21k and dial in the sound. The cut/boost range is +/- 18dB, controlled by a 21-position detented gain control. A gain range switch allows for finer adjustment by changing the range to +/- 9dB. The NSEQ-HF’s Input switch compensates for the 6dB level difference when using an unbalanced input.
The NSEQ-HF employs the identical circuitry found in the NSEQ-4, the renowned FSA-03 Class A all-discrete J-FET amplifier and the DSA-01 Class A all-discrete J-FET true-differential line receiver. Both amplifiers use Toshiba 2SJ74 and 2SK170 discrete J-FETs exclusively, considered the holy grail of pure Class A discrete audio design topology.
