An equalizer without equal.
The NSEQ-2 by Millennia is a 2-channel, 4-band parametric equalizer offering fully Class-A operation via discrete J-FET transistors or all-triode vacuum tubes. A front panel switch selects between the vacuum tube parametric equalizer and the fully discrete solid-state parametric equalizer. Both circuits are entirely transformerless, high-voltage, 100% Class-A biased, and minimalist in design.
The NSEQ-2 is minimalist in that it has only one active stage in the audio signal path, compared to 3 to 7 active amplifiers in the signal path of most designs. With fewer amplifier stages, the NSEQ achieves greater sonic integrity and heightened musical realism. Seasoned audio recording engineers are calling the NSEQ the most musically accurate analog EQ available at any price.
Transformerless design is another NSEQ-2 strong point. Transformers add coloration to audio signals that may be a great effect but are not conducive to sonic purity. Via innovative design techniques, the NSEQ-2 eliminates audio transformers entirely so the true musicality of Class-A vacuum tube equalization can be achieved without artifacts
Winner of the PAR Excellence Award, PAR Reviewers Pick Award, and a nominee for the 1999 TEC Award, the NSEQ-2 not only offers exquisite design, it optimizes this design with finest grade passive components such as Vishay pots, mil-spec gold switches, Wima and Electrocube capacitors, Neglex OFC audio cabling, and silver Teflon power wiring. The NSEQ-2 sets the equalizer high bar for musical realism and sonic transparency.
