Behringer EQP Equalizer

Behringer EQP — Classic Tube Equalizer for Studio Signal Shaping

The Behringer EQP is a single-channel, 2-band tube equalizer built in the spirit of the legendary '50s-era EQP-style program equalizer. Even at flat settings, the inductor-based circuit adds a subtle weight and harmonic richness to any signal that passes through it. The Behringer EQP is the right choice for studio engineers and producers who want the musical, broad-stroke tone shaping of a vintage-style program EQ in a modern, rackmount-ready unit.

What Sets the Behringer EQP Apart

Unlike standard parametric EQs, this unit uses independent Boost and Cut controls on each band, letting the engineer create the classic EQP-style curves where a low-end cut and a low-end boost coexist at the same frequency. Premium tubes paired with custom-built Midas transformers deliver the harmonic complexity that has defined program equalizers for decades, while the variable Bandwidth control sweeps from sharp to broad for everything from surgical work to gentle mix-bus glue.

Frequency Coverage and EQ Controls

The two-band design covers the full program-EQ territory, with switchable frequency selectors giving the engineer access to multiple points across each band. Knowing exactly where to cut and where to boost is what separates a useful EQ from a great one.

• High Band Frequency Range: 3 kHz – 16 kHz (boost), separate cut frequency selector — separate boost and cut points for shaping air and presence
• Low Band Frequency Range: 20 Hz, 30 Hz, 60 Hz, 100 Hz (boost/cut) — covers the low end from sub-bass to upper bass
• Controls: Bandwidth, Boost, Cut, EQ Bypass Switch, Frequency, Power — every parameter needed for hands-on program-EQ work

Connectivity and Studio Integration

The Behringer EQP is built to drop into any professional studio rack and connect to a wide range of outboard and console setups. Both balanced and unbalanced connections are supported, and the 2U rackmount format keeps the unit stable alongside other 19-inch gear.

• Inputs: 1 x XLR, 1 x 6.3 mm TRS — accepts balanced or unbalanced line-level signals
• Outputs: 1 x XLR, 1 x 6.3 mm TRS — mirrors the input options for flexible routing
• Rackmount Format: 2U, 19-inch rackmountable — fits standard studio equipment racks

Power and Build

Because this is a tube unit, it requires mains power rather than batteries, and ships with the necessary cable in the box. The chassis is designed for permanent studio installation rather than portable use.

• Power: Standard IEC AC cable (included) — no batteries required
• Type: Tube equalizer — vacuum-tube circuitry for harmonic character
