Sophisticated Equalization Architecture

Elevate Your Mastering Process

With its precise stereo image and Class-A performance, this EQ delivers maximum creative potential and high-quality sound for mastering tasks. Handcrafted with care and featuring sophisticated equalization architecture, the Elysia xfilter Mastering Edition is a top choice for those seeking a premium mastering EQ without the premium price tag.

True Stereo Operation for Seamless Processing

Unlike most equalizers, the Elysia xfilter Mastering Edition goes beyond dual-channels, offering full stereo link functionality. This means you can effortlessly process both channels with just one set of controllers, eliminating the hassle of trying to match EQ settings manually. Thanks to computer-selected dual and quad layer pots, and special low tolerance FKS-type film capacitors, both channels maintain identical performance regardless of the settings chosen. Whether you’re working in mono or stereo, the Elysia xfilter Mastering Edition streamlines your workflow, providing a seamless and intuitive experience.

Shelve or Cut with Precision

The Elysia xfilter Mastering Edition’s outer bands offer remarkable flexibility by allowing you to switch between shelving and peak cut filters. In standard mode, these filters act as sweet-sounding high- and low-shelf filters, ideal for shaping the fundamentals and airiness of your tracks. Alternatively, you can independently switch them to high- and low-cut filters with 12 dB per octave and an additional resonance peak. This gives you the power to achieve clean and punchy cuts or extended bass ranges for added sonic depth. In the high range, the resonance filter enables accentuation of specific frequencies without boosting the entire spectrum, avoiding harshness or unwanted shifts in the treble.

Reach New Heights with Passive High-Band

On top of its four active bands, the xfilter Mastering Edition boasts a switchable fixed LC filter designed to polish the high-frequency range. This unique filter includes a slight resonance peak at 12 kHz, tapering off at 17 kHz. The coil’s saturation-like storage effect hones in on the peak without pushing the entire high-frequency spectrum. Shielded inductors eliminate unwanted hum and noise, ensuring a pristine top end that adds brilliance to your mastered tracks.

Fine-Tuned Flexibility with Switchable Parametric Bands

The xfilter Mastering Edition offers two Q factors for each of the three parametric bands: Wide (Q 0.5) and Narrow (Q 1.0). Following the proportional Q principle, these Q factors provide musical processing capabilities, enabling you to precisely sculpt your audio with finesse.

Professional-Grade Design

Tuned for Mastering Excellence

Built with mastering in mind, the xfilter Mastering Edition comes with retuned elements to suit the most demanding mastering tasks. It boasts an impressive ±5 dB control range for each of its four EQ bands, ensuring precise adjustments with excellent tracking across linked stereo channels. The balanced output stage provides ample headroom, reaching up to +27 dBu, a highly desirable feature for mastering professionals.

Stepped Potentiometers for Instant Recall

The Elysia xfilter Mastering Edition features stepped pots with 41 steps each, providing instant recall for your mix and mastering sessions. Gain pots are equipped with dual layers, while frequency selection pots have an impressive four layers each. Elysia uses an Audio Precision rig and computer routines to measure every layer carefully, ensuring consistent performance between channels and delivering an exceptional user experience.
