Elysia xfilter 500

Elysia xfilter The Elysia xfilter is a high-end Class-A stereo equalizer in a 19” rack format, designed for professional recording, mixing, and mastering applications. Featuring a fully discrete analog circuit and true stereo linking, it delivers precise and musical tonal shaping at the highest level. Its design is based on four EQ bands: two parametric mid bands and flexible high and low bands that can operate as shelving filters or resonant high- and low-pass filters. This versatile architecture allows both precise corrective EQ and creative sound shaping. A standout feature is the additional passive high-frequency stage (“Passive Massage”), which smooths the top end while enhancing clarity and presence without harsh boosting. Sound Character The xfilter delivers transparent, open, and punchy equalization while preserving the natural integrity of the signal. Adjustments are applied with clarity and precision, making it suitable for critical audio work. Resonant filters allow targeted shaping of frequency areas without affecting the entire spectrum. Low frequencies can be tightened and defined, while high frequencies gain a smooth and airy character. Thanks to its true stereo design and carefully selected components, the unit provides excellent stereo imaging and depth accuracy—ideal for bus and mastering applications.

Elysia xfilter Mastering Edition The Elysia xfilter Mastering Edition is a high-end, handcrafted Class-A stereo equalizer in a 19” rack format, specifically designed for precise mastering applications. As a specialized version of the xfilter, it focuses on maximum accuracy, perfect stereo imaging, and fully recallable settings. At its core is a fully discrete Class-A circuit with true stereo link operation. Both channels are permanently linked and behave identically, ensuring precise processing of stereo material. All four bands feature a deliberately limited ±5 dB gain range, allowing for subtle and controlled adjustments in mastering workflows. The filter section combines high and low shelving bands that can be switched to resonant high- and low-pass filters, along with two parametric mid bands. An additional passive high-frequency band (“Passive Massage”) provides smooth and refined top-end enhancement. Sound Character The xfilter Mastering Edition delivers extremely transparent, open, and highly precise sound shaping. Thanks to carefully selected low-tolerance components, it produces an exceptionally stable and accurate stereo image. The sound is detailed with direct transient response and solid punch. High frequencies are enhanced smoothly and musically without harshness, while the low end remains tight and controlled—ideal for critical mastering decisions. Highlights ✔ Class-A stereo mastering equalizer in 19” rack format ✔ handcrafted, fully discrete analog circuitry ✔ true stereo link for perfect channel matching ✔ precise ±5 dB gain range per band ✔ high and low shelves switchable to resonant cut filters ✔ two parametric mid bands with selectable Q ✔ additional passive high-frequency band (“Passive Massage”) ✔ stepped potentiometers for precise recall ✔ selected low-tolerance components ✔ high headroom up to +27 dBu Typical Applications ✔ mastering EQ for precise tonal adjustments ✔ stereo bus processing with maximum accuracy ✔ final mix enhancement ✔ high-end analog EQ in mastering chains ✔ recallable settings for professional workflows Technical Specifications ✔ device type: stereo equalizer (mastering edition) ✔ circuit: discrete Class-A ✔ bands: 4 (low, low-mid, high-mid, high) ✔ gain range: ±5 dB per band ✔ filter types: shelving, resonant high/low pass, parametric mids ✔ additional circuit: passive high-frequency band (LC) ✔ headroom: up to +27 dBu ✔ connections: XLR and 1/4" TRS inputs and outputs ✔ format: 19” rack ✔ height: 1U ✔ made in Germany

Elysia xfilter qube The Elysia xfilter qube is a high-end Class-A stereo equalizer in a compact desktop format, designed for professional recording, mixing, and mastering applications. As part of the Qube series, it delivers precise analog EQ processing in a portable and flexible form factor. At its core is a fully discrete Class-A circuit with four EQ bands: two parametric mid bands and flexible low and high bands. These outer bands can operate as traditional shelving filters or be switched to resonant high- and low-pass filters, offering exceptional versatility in tonal shaping. An additional passive high-frequency band (“Passive Massage”) provides smooth and musical enhancement of the top end. Sound Character The xfilter qube delivers extremely transparent, open, and musical equalization. The signal remains natural and detailed, while adjustments are applied with precision and clarity. Resonant filters allow targeted emphasis of specific frequencies without affecting the entire spectrum. Low frequencies can be tightened and defined, while highs gain an airy, refined quality through the passive filter stage. Thanks to its Class-A topology and carefully selected components, the unit ensures excellent stereo imaging with minimal channel deviation and high depth accuracy.
