{"product_id":"antelope-audio-blonder-tongue-audio-baton","title":"Antelope Audio Blonder Tongue Audio Baton","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBlonder Tongue Audio Baton is an all-tube graphic equalizer dating back to 1959. Our faithful emulation of this rare unit brings its signature and musical sound to the 21st century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe sound of Blonder Tongue Audio Baton favorably compares to that of the other great equalizers of the era. Think of a cross between the rare Altec 9073A “Motown” graphic equalizer and the famed Pultec tube-amplified make-up gain stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe unit boasts seven separate amplifiers tuned to distinct frequencies, followed by high- and low-pass filters running in parallel, with their outputs routed to separate level controls. The chosen frequencies correspond to the actual notes and octaves on the piano keyboard, hence its presence above the red-and-white vertical stripes. They move up and down with the turning of the rotary controls, with boosts and cuts being conveniently visualized. This way, a frequency response curve is graphically overlaid on top of the colorful stripes where each frequency region is distinctly colored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Antelope Audio rendition of this collector’s item preserved its unique character and added only slight workflow enhancement – a Magic Eye peak meter on the upper right corner of the plugin which fits both this unique EQ's late 50s aesthetic and functionality by providing useful visual feedback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eAuthentic emulation of this vintage all-tube original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e9 frequency bands, each with a 28dB control range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eHighlights fundamental notes of individual instruments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eCorrects frequency response errors such as excessive bass or top end shrill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eImproves the clarity of instruments, vocals, and speech\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Antelope Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63257768788337,"sku":"ANTE-AUDBLOTONAUD-7612","price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/3202\/2514\/files\/Blonder-Tongue-Audio-Baton.webp?v=1772764471","url":"https:\/\/audiodeluxe.com\/products\/antelope-audio-blonder-tongue-audio-baton","provider":"AudioDeluxe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
