The SSL Ultraviolet 500 Series Stereo Equaliser EQ is a four-band stereo EQ that builds on the Violet EQ section within the SSL Fusion. The Ultraviolet adds two dedicated parametric mid-bands, providing added control over your frequencies. Ultraviolet is packed with useful tools including the unique 'Focus Mode' providing high-precision tonal control. Whether you're adding the finishing touches to a master mix or sculpting tones for instruments, the SSL Ultraviolet 500 Series is a must-have for professionals.

Once activated, Focus Mode allows you to eliminate problematic frequencies with ease by narrowing down the chosen Q setting. This also doubles your gain range from +/-9 dB to +/-18 dB. You can also sculpt and shape your sound using the built-in high-pass filter - perfect for removing unwanted low-end rumble. You can achieve everything from the classic boost and cut effect to notch-style filtering.

The versatile control section combined with the musical tonality SSL is known for makes it perfect for virtually any musical application. Sculpt sounds, tweak mixes and make masters glisten with this jam-packed 500 series module.

Focus mode – find and identify specific frequencies

One of the things that sets the SSL Ultraviolet from conventional equalizer units is its unique ‘Focus Mode’. Focus Mode allows you to “dial into” specific frequencies, which can be used to eliminate problematic frequencies or for boosting desired frequencies to add colour to your sound. When activated, Focus Mode will narrow your selected ‘Q’ setting whilst also increasing the gain range (from +/-9 dB to +/-18 dB). This allows you to get surgical with your sound shaping/mixing decision, providing the means to get the sound you desire with exceptional precision.

Two dedicated parametric mid-bands

Basing its design around classic SSL gear, the Ultraviolet takes Solid State Logic’s character and principles to the next level by employing two dedicated mid-bands with precision controls. You can achieve everything from classic-style ‘notch filtering to resonant screams with the turn of a few dials. As always with SSL hardware, the Ultraviolet provides a highly musical design that allows you to shape your sound with the utmost sonic accuracy.

High-pass filter and dedicated trim

If you’re looking to remove unwanted low-end frequencies and tighten up your bass response, the onboard HPF (high-pass filter) allows you to process your low-end with ease. The unique LF shelving bands allow you to sculpt your signals with ease and also offer the iconic ‘boost and cut;’ effect. The module also features a dedicated trim control, providing plenty of headroom and the ability to clip your sound (if desired) for some truly unique and aggressive tones.
