The HG-Q Tube Equalizer: More Than Just an EQ
A marvel of modern audio engineering, the HG-Q embodies everything that makes  Black Box Analog Design’s gear so essential in top-tier studios. Here’s what sets it apart:

• True Analog Processing + Digital Control:   The HG-Q is a 3U rackmount tube-driven EQ boasting six fully independent bands per channel, each equipped with separate boost, cut, frequency selection, and Q controls. A seamlessly integrated plug-in offers total digital control over the hardware’s genuine analog circuitry—and also serves as a fully-modeled digital re-creation for projects on the go.
• Unique Topology & Interactive Bands:  This isn’t a traditional EQ or a clone of a vintage classic. The HG-Q’s topology allows each band to interact with others in complex ways, unlocking creative shaping far beyond the scope of conventional equalizers. Switch between series and parallel configurations, engage 2X mode for up to 16 dB of boost or cut, and discover new frontiers of sonic sculpting.
• Tube Saturation for Harmonic Richness:   At the heart of the HG-Q is Black Box Analog Design’s acclaimed tube saturation circuitry. By accentuating lower-level details and amplifying harmonic density, the HG-Q adds depth and dimension without sacrificing clarity or transients—resulting in a lush, full-bodied sound that’s uniquely musical.
• Advanced Workflow Options:   Whether you’re working in stereo, dual-mono, or mid-side (M/S), the HG-Q seamlessly adapts to any mixing or mastering setup. The included plug-in even offers features beyond the hardware, such as an onboard spectrum analyzer, making it easier than ever to visualize and refine your sonic adjustments.
• Real-Time Digital Plug-In Control:   The synergy between hardware and software is next level. With the included HG-Q plug-in, you can control every parameter of the hardware in real time, directly from your DAW session. Whether you’re adjusting frequencies, Q settings, or saturation amounts, the analog unit responds instantly and in perfect sync with your software controls. This seamless integration ensures rapid recall, smoother sessions, and faster mixdowns—even when collaborating remotely.
