Klark Teknik EQP-KT 5-stars Reviews

GREAT!

I use this all the time in my analog studio and the results are incredible. Sounds like a Pultec, looks like a Pultec.

Would be great of they make in in green like the real one.

Really great EQ, get at least 2!

These are fantastic EQs, especially for the money. They might not have the expensive components of richer ones, but despite that they sound great.

I really like that they have extra frequencies, 200hz / 400hz and 800hz that the originals or most clones do not have. This makes them more flexible.

Despite the simple controls you can shape things very nicely with these. To my ears the highs are smooth and of course the lows are weighty. I find these to be a brilliant addition and much prefer these over plugins. Its time consuming printing stems but very much worth it to me.

Great Tube EQs

Don't let the price fool you, this EQ sound great. I adds a natural subtle warmth.

Vintage warm sound!

It's a perfect gear about this money. Gives smooth low frequencies!

Value for Money 100%

Brulal!!!!!!

This Eq is incredible for this price! No equivalent!

Perfect Recration of Vintage EQP-1A

Perfect recreatioj of vintage eqp-1a sounds

GREAT UNIT

Very low noise floor, works very well for adding a little shine to a part. I like it on acoustic guitar.

Interesting and versatile EQ

This EQ is great. It definitely imparts a “sound”, but that sound is the stuff of legend. It’s noticeable strength is it’s handling of lows, and if used sparingly, the highs for sweetening as well.

Running two in stereo, I enjoyed sending my mix bus through them in bypass for more subtle coloration. So far they’ve worked incredibly well for a rock, a fusion, and even an acoustic project I’ve mixed.

It’s a classic for a reason - as simple or as versatile as you want to make it, and really has improved my mixes when it’s called for.

At this price it’s a no-brainer. Get two.

No Brainer

Heard people complaining about the noise level. I guess they need some good cables. When you krank up the levels its more clean than my Gyraf. Nice tool and a no brainer for the money.

not the greatest eq, i didnt care for it

Excellent valve eq.

I’ve been using Klark Teknik gear since 1984 and have always been impressed with their build and audio quality. Although now under the Behringer umbrella I can’t fault this piece of equipment. Flattering sonically, I’ve taken to running my mics through it even when I’m not adjusting the eq, everything sounds perceptively better through it.

Very simple to operate, I was surprised at the depth of sounds possible with this unit.

Add to that the price & this unit is really a no brainer. If you’ve got a couple of u free in your rack buy one, you’ll use it all the time.

I'v been waiting for it!

I have a small home recording studio where I and my friend produce our own music. In general, I have mostly used it for audio commercials and for mixing the sound for various video productions. I usually use various computer plugins, among them also the UAD 2 Pci-e series pugins. One of the most interesting and fun plugins to use was the Pultec EQ. A few years ago I produced several tracks for a local rock group. They insisted to use some English vintage mixing console (I don't remember the brand - so it obviously was not Neve or similar...). What stunned me was that the sound of individual tracks, but especially the sound of master outputb after summing the tracks was definitely very different from what I could achieve ITB. What hapenned could be described in three characteristics: more bass, tight and punchy sound and ... glue. After that session, I have started to buy different outboard. The latest addition to my studio are 2 pieces of Klark Teknik EQP-KT . The build quality seems very goo d and the look of device is appealing. The sound... definitely more than I have expected. Compared to the UAD Pultec plugin, I think the clarity is almost the same but there seems to be more warmth and things just seem sound better (or I imagine things - but then again - this means that all of my friends that have heard it in the action must imagine things as well...). I do not intend to change the tubes - the sound is totally pleasing with he originals. The simultaneous use of boost & cut offers endless combinations and very precise work on every source.

Final verdict: BUY! at least a pair!

Amazing Value

Purchased two for stereo processing and mix bus duties, both units of equal quality and sound output. The KT easily performs the 'low end trick', even on the bus... really tightens the low end of the mix, removes boominess between the kick and bass lines, but keeps the punch. Can sound a little brittle when pushed the whole way, but is great in small doses to add air. Have used a real Pultec, which from memory it had more dimension than this unit, but for this price it's a no brainer. Far prefer using hardware when tracking than my UAD plug ins.

Very good EQ. I'm using together with Klark 76-KT. (transistor+tube). . Working much much better than many expensive CHANNEL STRIP. Good choice for home studio.

awesome unit for the money

Just nothing to say here, massive unit !

Need another one

I've used 4000$ tube techs , this thing is built to the same spec.. 222 euros is ridiculous bargain

Got 2 of them

I bought two of those units. Use them everywhere. Stero bus, vocals, kick, bass. Better than plugins any day of the week. Would buy them again

Extremely Good Value Pultec-style EQ

Okay, i probably should use this for longer than a couple of days before writing a review, but I am just so very impressed with this EQP-KT from Klark Teknik! Just running signal through the unit before switching the EQ 'on' adds character to the sound. I've only ever before played with EQ on plug-ins after the fact but now...i have seen the light!

Obviously, having large dials to turn is always going to be more fun than point-click-drag on plug-ins 'in the box'...but it's about more than the tactile stuff...the difference I have been able to make to guitar tones and my vocals going into my interface has been so impressive.

Having spent good money on v.good plugins over the years, often seeing noticeable but marginal gains relative to the price on my songs/workflow....but i can tell already that this may be the best investment i have made so far. I'm not gonna go full analog, as i haven't got the money/space/cables(!) but i can see that a few choice bits of quality outboard gear, especially on the way in, can make recordings sound better and the process a bit more hands-on and fun.

Great affordable Pultec unit

This is a great affordable EQ unit. I love using this EQ on my kick, vocal and guitar tracks. I compared it in my DAW with the Logic "Pultec" Plugin, the UAD Pultec Legacy plugin and this hardware unit and was surprised with the results. The EQP-KT gave great results very similarly to the plugins. Have been loving this in my rack and would definitely recommend.

The switches are nice and clicky and even the boost and cut knobs have a soft click at each stage. Very impressed.

Better than all Pultec emulations.

This piece of gear is a no brainer for this money. I was shocked by the sound when got it and pluged it in to my card. This thing sounds so much better than any emulations of pultec. Didn't swap the tubes yet, but it sounds great even with stock tubes.

I bought two eq's and the only one negative thing for me is not exact same output level on different units. My units has serial numbers one after another but the difference is 0,8-0,9 db, it's probably pretty easy to compensate but checking levels everytime is little bit annoying.
