WSW / Siemens Austria Germanium EQ |
| Description |
Here's a rare opportunity for the filter & EQ lusting ones: one beautiful
sounding and looking WSW / Siemens Austria Germanium EQ, model
'436 511 / Oe Ela Fi 2a' . Made in the early to mid 60's - it's a classic,
sought-after vintage EQ and was exclusively hand-built in small numbers
for the Austrian broadcast by WSW which later became the austrian
department of Siemens (known for example for the W295 EQs, V276
preamps and U273 compressor/limiters). Components of the highest
quality available at the time along as much iron, transformers & inductors
as you can dream of - and still fitted with germanium transistors! This
type of EQ has a sound character with addictive qualities, think of Chandler
or the old EMI/TG stuff for example or of other famous vintage EQ such
as the Neumann 'PEV' or TAB 'W95c', both being close relatives. It adds
a lovely richness and contour/body to anything you put through with a
sweet, 'airy' top end and powerful, huge low end (definitely nothing for
the sub-bass shy). The mid frequency band does little wonders,
especially to lead vocals or instruments. Additionally, there's a passive
(LCR) low-cut filter included to clear out the mud whenever there is
going on just too much below 60 or 120 Hz. CONDITION: the EQ is in
original condition, tested and working fine! The cosmetic condition is
- at least on the front and inside the unit - about 8-8.5/10 and showing
only lighter signs of use - taking into account that the EQs is well around
*45* years old. However, the outer case is showing some signs of rust,
but only on the side panels - not inside the case. Please take a close look
at all pictures to get an idea of the EQ's overall condition. PLEASE NOTE:
The mating connector is NOT included in the auction. Since these are an
absolute pain to find, I offer the Tuchel 13-pin connector upon request
after the auction and for a fixed price of 20 UKP additionally to the auction
result. So it's your choice whether you simply connect the EQs hard-wired
to the back or, if you like to get a connector and don't mind the extra
costs. ALSO IMPORTANT: these EQs need an external power supply with
24 Volt DC which is readily available in various forms from most electronic
part suppliers I can help here, if in doubt. Upon request, I can also help
you with plug & play ready, preconfigured XLRs leads (at additional cost).
If you're unfamiliar with this EQ model or WSW equipment in general,
