Millennia NSEQ-4

The NSEQs are the result of meticulous listening tests on numerous circuit, topology, and packaging designs. The NSEQ is a finely tuned instrument intended for critical professional applications — according to Millennia it is the world's most sonically neutral analog EQ. With the emergence of 24+ bit digital audio, recording engineers are faced with a new requirement for undistorted dynamic range. The NSEQ meets this challenge exceptionally well.

“The NSEQ-4 has brought new meaning to "elegance" in audio control and sound quality.  Where the NSEQ-2 was head and shoulders above many other equalizers in musicality, control, and audio quality, the NSEQ-4 has taken all those attributes to a new level.  I ran a 2 vs. 4 test with a solo piano recording:  One channel only split to both the 2 and the 4 and returned back to the monitor.  I set the same frequency on each EQ and pushed both units to the max at that frequency since I wanted to learn what the worst case scenario might be.  With piano, this would usually yield a hopeless result - even the slightest shortcoming will show in most any EQ unit when pushed this way.  The NSEQ-4 actually held up quite well to this sort of abuse!  Additionally, I found the residual noise level of the NSEQ-4 to be subjectively quite a bit lower than the NSEQ-2.  I liked the "character" of the residual noise of the 4 much better.  The noise is so low that it is no concern whatsoever in listening or use.”
