A-Designs Hammer 2 EQ - Stereo Tube Equaliser for Mixing and Mastering<\/h2>\n

The A-Designs Hammer 2 EQ<\/strong> is a world-class dual-channel tube\/hybrid equaliser<\/strong> that delivers smooth, musical tone shaping for tracking, mixing, and mastering.
\nBuilding on the legacy of the original Hammer EQ, the Hammer 2 features improved internal grounding, refined power supply design, and enhanced headroom - all while preserving the original's sweet, airy top end and solid, detailed lows<\/strong>.
\nIts combination of discrete solid-state circuitry with a tube output stage<\/strong> gives engineers the perfect balance of clarity, warmth, and harmonic depth that defines modern analogue mastering.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Key Features<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Stereo 3-band tube equaliser<\/strong> with fully discrete solid-state and tube hybrid design.<\/li>\n
  • 12 selectable frequencies per band<\/strong> for precise, musical tone shaping.<\/li>\n
  • Overlapping frequency ranges<\/strong> for broad or narrow EQ curves.<\/li>\n
  • High and low shelving or peaking options<\/strong> for flexible tonal control.<\/li>\n
  • Bypass switches per channel<\/strong> for instant A\/B comparison.<\/li>\n
  • Custom-wound Cinemag transformers<\/strong> ensure rich low-end and silky top-end response.<\/li>\n
  • Tubes only in the output stage<\/strong> - maintaining clarity with a touch of analogue warmth.<\/li>\n
  • Balanced XLR I\/O<\/strong> and robust 2U rackmount chassis for professional integration.<\/li>\n
  • Hand-built in the USA<\/strong> with high-grade components for long-term reliability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Applications<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Mastering:<\/strong> Apply subtle analogue polish, depth, and harmonic sheen to full mixes.<\/li>\n
    • Mix Bus:<\/strong> Add cohesion, warmth, and clarity with wide, musical EQ curves.<\/li>\n
    • Vocals & Instruments:<\/strong> Shape tone naturally without phase smear or harshness.<\/li>\n
