Resonant filters make mixing incredibly easy

Making instruments, vocals, and effects sit well in your mix is easy with the elysia Xfilter Rack EQ. You get two sweet-sounding parametric mid-frequency bands, but the real magic in the Xfilter Rack is in its low and high bands with resonance. These are switchable between shelving and cutoff-filter operation. When you use them as resonant cutoff filters, the Xfilter Rack lets you add resonant power to the cutoff frequency. That means you can clean the rumble from bass and kick drums, while also adding oomph to the fundamental tone. Or you can darken brighter sounds while maintaining presence. Sculpting sounds with the resonant filters on the Xfilter Rack makes them easy to fit in the mix, while also enhancing them.

Passive Massage feature smooths highs while adding sparkle

You'll see a Passive Massage switch on the high-frequency band of the elysia Xfilter Rack, and you soon won't want to mix without it. This circuit basically smooths out high frequencies with a gentle rolloff around 17kHz, but also has a slight resonance peak around 12kHz. This polishes the top end while also enhancing presence, all without actually boosting the high-frequency volume of your tracks. To add that special magic to vocals, and that complex shimmer to acoustic instruments, just turn on the Xfilter Rack's Passive Massage.

True stereo operation with one convenient set of controls

The elysia Xfilter Rack is perfect for both single tracks and full mixes, with true stereo operation that won't hurt your stereo image a bit. Elysia uses computer-selected dual and quad layer pots as well as special low tolerance caps to achieve reliable stereo-linked operation without any sonic artifacts. Best of all the Xfilter Rack has one set of controls for both channels, so it's easy to dial in fast.
