Slate Digital SD-PE1

The SD-PE1, a remarkable addition to the Virtual Mix Rack ecosystem, offers a realistic reproduction of a classic passive EQ. Its unique design combines passive power with classic character, providing features that are only possible through digital emulation and modeling. Toggle the 'Tube' stage on or off to control saturation and color effects without sacrificing output level. With extra tone-shaping tools, you can select frequencies in both stepped and incremental ways, thanks to the additional frequencies added to each band. This passive program equalizer, digitally modeled from a legendary outboard unit, is perfect for drums, bass, vocals, and the mix bus.

Using the SD-PE1 is quite straightforward. First, connect it to your audio setup. You can use it on different audio sources like drums, bass, vocals, or the mix bus. To adjust the sound, you can play around with the frequency selection. You have the option of stepped or incremental selection, which gives you more control. If you want to add some saturation and color to your sound, turn on the 'Tube' stage. But if you don't need those effects, just turn it off, and you won't lose any output level. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If there's any dust on it, you can gently wipe it with a soft cloth. That's about it! Enjoy using your SD-PE1 to enhance your audio mixes.
