The Midas Parametric Equaliser 512 is a compact 500 Series four-band fully parametric equaliser based on the channel strip from the Heritage 3000 mixing console.

The four overlapping frequency bands can be cut or boosted across an adjustable bandwidth (Q). The frequency bands address the bass (20Hz-400Hz), low mid (10Hz-2kHz), upper mid Mid (400Hz-8kHz) and treble (1kHz to 20kHz) bands, offering cut/gain of ±15dB using stacked dual concentric controls –gain on inner and frequency on the outer ring.

The 512’s Q controls are non-functional while in traditional Midas shelving mode, which is the default (Bell switches disengaged). When the Bell switches are pressed and illuminated, the Bass and Treble Width controls provide parametric operation. The Lo Mid and Hi Mid frequency bands are always in parametric operating mode – when both Bell switches are engaged, all four Width controls provide fully variable parametric equalisation.

The input stage of the 512 is second to none with its low noise performance, which boasts an enviable Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) of -70dB @1kHz.
