From the seller

Title: Rupert Neve Designs 551 500 Series Inductor EQ – [Excellent] Condition It's the only 500-series equalizer actually designed by Rupert Neve himself. This unit is in [excellent] condition. The faceplate is clean, every switch and pot is smooth and noise-free, and it passes audio perfectly. The 551 adds character, not just tone shaping. Custom-wound inductors, transformers, and class-A gain blocks bring the thick lows and sweet highs of Rupert's classic consoles to the 500-series format. I used it on drum machines, samplers, vocals, and bass. The low band gives weight to kicks and 808s without turning them to mud, and the mids bring parts forward in a mix very musically. Features: Low band at 35, 60, 100, or 220 Hz, switchable between shelf and peak (most vintage Neve modules can't do this) Inductor mid band based on the 1073, with six frequencies from 200 Hz to 6 kHz and a Q that widens at gentler settings High band selectable between 8 kHz and 16 kHz, a hybrid design that pairs inductor and capacitor circuitry 12 dB/octave high-pass filter, fixed at 80 Hz EQ In bypass switch Single-slot 500-series module (requires a 500-series rack/lunchbox) Includes: [Original box / module only] Comes from: a smoke-free professional studio.
