MythEQ 500
Magical Equalizer in API 500 format
How to come up with a new equalizer without replacing the previous one?
That was the main question on our minds.
The Classic Equalizer EQP-1 scores with its nice warm sound: a passive tube EQ that wraps a whole track in a soft, broad stroke.
So it was clear: we needed to create a Yang to our Yin EQ.
A device that works in a cleaner way, but is also capable of biting. No tubes this time. Instead: a modern, grippy character that pushes a single track to the front of the mix. A device you can use to get a warm and melodious sound as well as drastic and aggressive EQ settings, and still retain the Tegeler character.
One device to EQ them all...
...
to distort them,
tweak to weak them,
boost or attenuate them,
surgically cut frequencies or
create beautiful new peaks and valleys.
Our new EQ now brings all these features together.
Why MythEQ?
Because after "Legendary" comes "Mythical"
Naming the newest member of the Tegeler family through a Facebook poll was an exciting experiment for us – and you guys did not disappoint.
We were honored by the rationale for the new name, thank you:
"After a legendary device, only a mythical one can follow from you"Born was the MythEQ.
Sit back, relax, and go on a ride with your new EQ
You know the moment: one track just won't sit. The EQ curve in your DAW looks right, and still the vocal stays buried. This is where you reach for a knob instead.
Your vocal track still lacks some sunshine?
No problem: set the high shelf to 10 kHz and boost until the vocals shine as bright as the sun itself.
Your kick is missing the thump?
Take the low-mid bell filter, set it to 80 Hz and boost until the neighbor knocks.
Your snare isn't loud enough for deaf 2 kHz hip-hoppers?
Take the upper-mid bell filter, set it to the right frequency, and boost until everyone in the back row can hear again.
The bassline isn't pushing enough for the Techno junkie?
Take the low shelf, set it to 300 Hz and push until he feels the bass in his stomach.
Just a few knob twists away from great sound.
With its incredibly wide operating range of -15 to +15dB, you can bring out any sound, no matter how quiet, or give the too loud ones the appropriate damper. The Q factor of boost and cut is proportional to the gain: the more you boost or attenuate, the narrower the bell. Gentle when you work broadly, surgical when you dig in.
The filters are built around film capacitors, so even drastic moves stay precise and never turn harsh or artificial.
Set it, note it, dial it in again
Every knob on the MythEQ is stepped. A setting you found once is a setting you can write down and return to. Recall without taking photos of your rack. And if your work is stereo: the MythEQ is available as matched pairs, so both channels move exactly together.
The icing on the (MythE)Q
To round off the sound and add a little more Tegeler character, we eventually decided to install our in-house transformers.
We have made countless listening tests and decided on the most beautiful sound.
Transformers provide a pleasant compression of the sound through the conversion current->magnetic field->current and their non-linearities.
The bass becomes tidier and more defined. The heights are pleasantly rounded.
MythEQ or EQP-1?
Simple: if you want to give a whole track that soft, broad tube color, take the Classic Equalizer EQP-1. If a single track needs to cut through the mix, pinpoint, modern and assertive, that's the MythEQ. In a 500 series rack it sits naturally next to the Vocal Leveler 500 and the MythVCA 500; MythEQ plus Vocal Leveler is a proven vocal chain, as 2probeats demonstrates; order, settings and rack are explained in 500 Series Vocal Chain: Order, Settings, Modules. How it all began: the unveiling from 2021.
Get mythical!
Test the EQ in your own setup. Imagine how it will nestle into your rack and how your tracks start to sit.
The hours of tedious "looking for the right EQ plug-in" are finally over.
Because you now have the EQ to EQ them all.
If it still doesn't fit, just send it back to us.
We mean it, no catch: no hidden costs, subscriptions, or anything like that.

"The Tegeler MythEQ 500 makes it clear to its user at all times: 'here I come!'
With a characteristic coloring and a clearly defined field of application as a bus equalizer, the 500 module convinces me with its character, roughness and assertiveness, without losing sight of the classic values of an equalizer. "

"(...) what struck me when giving the low end a 9dB boost and the high end a 6dB boost was that the MythEQ 500 still sounded great!
This unit sounds great, has stepped knobs (recalls!) and feels solid to operate. And it also comes in this incredible wooden box that will surely get some use around your studio for those things that need a home without adding clutter."
