From the seller
UREI 527-A 27-Band 1/3-Octave Graphic EQ – Vintage USA-Made Inductor EQ
Description:
A genuine piece of LA studio history. The UREI 527-A is a 27-band, 1/3-octave graphic equalizer from United Recording Electronics Industries, the company behind the 1176 and LA-2A. It was built in Southern California and used in studios, broadcast facilities, and concert venues throughout the ’70s and ’80s.
This isn’t a cheap, flat-sounding graphic EQ. The 527-A uses active LC (inductor-based) filters and an output transformer. Many engineers say that combination makes it sound smoother and less brittle than UREI’s later graphics. It handles room tuning and monitor correction well. It also works as a character EQ when you want to push bass lines, drums, or vocals into gritty, colored territory that plugins don’t quite capture.
