The Amek Recall arrived a few weeks ago. Quite a nice bit of gear.It's 1st job...I Have been backing up some of my 1/2" 8 track reels to the hard drive using it.

How's the EQ? What parameters?

Here is the EQ parameters from the manual for the RL1 RN modules, the Neve designed discreet modules.
High and low pass filters; Low pass swept 25Hz to500Hz@12dB/octave.
High Pass swept 2kHz to 20 kHz @12dB/octave,
The filters to S/C switch puts the filters into the virtual dynamics sidechain
A four band semi parametric EQ with seperate in / out switch.
HF sweep range 2kHz to 20kHz, boost/cut +/-18dB. Bell/Shelf switch selects between bell or shelf curv shape.
HMF. sweep range 500Hz to 4 kHz boost/cut +/-18dB. The Q factor continuously variable from 0.6 to 2.1.
LMF sweep range 100Hz to 1 kHz boost/cut, +/-18dB.
Q factor, 0.6 to 2.1
LF, sweep range 30Hz to 300 Hz boost/cut +/-18dB, Bell/Shelf switch.
So there is a lot of controll at hand, the EQ sounds good. Still early days for really sussing it out, but last week for fun i pulled up a mix i did in logic and turned off all comps, gates, and eq but left on the volume automation and mutes etc. So i did the mix on the console eq, and dynamics. It was much guicker pulling nice sounds on the Ameks eq and the comps worked noticably better than Logic's
The RL 1 modules, op amp design, have the following specs:
Low pass 800Hz-20kHz@12dB/octave, high pass 20Hz-1kHz@12dB/octave.
HF sweep range 1.5kHz to 18kHz +/-18dB, Bell/Shelf switch.
HMF450Hz-8kHz, +/-14dB switched Q of 0.7 or 2.
LMF80Hz-1.5kHz, +/-14dB switched Q of 0.7 or 2
LF 30Hz -350Hz +/-18dB, bell/shelf switch.

Damn, looks like you don't need aircon to run it either. And compressors too?
I want one!

Sort of a poor mans SSL you mean ?

Yeah! But depending on the EQ, it might even be able to do things sonically that an SSL can't.... that would be pretty cool.
