Solid State Logic 500-Series UltraViolet EQ

Solid State Logic 500-Series ULTRAVIOLET Stereo Equaliser (UV EQ) 729734X1

The SSL ULTRAVIOLET Stereo Equaliser (UV EQ) takes the minimum phase-shift Violet stereo EQ section of SSL Fusion and puts it into 500-series format, adding two fully parametric SSL mid-bands. It is designed as a partner for the SSL G-COMP stereo bus compressor module.

The mid-bands range from classic SSL broad strokes to surgical cuts and notch-style filtering. Pressing Focus narrows the chosen Q further and extends the gain range from ±9 dB to ±18 dB. The high-pass filter interacts with the LF shelf for low-end shaping, and a dedicated trim sets the level sent to the converters.
