Passive Pultec Air Boost
for Chroma, Mister Focus, & DIYRE Colour
Overview
There just may not be anything more gorgeous than strapping a pair of Pultec EQP-1A3 equalizers across a mix and boosting 12 or 16 kHz to add some top end galactic fairie dust. The sonic architects at Rogue Planet Command have commissioned Louder Than Liftoff to issue a high frequency boost for the Colour format faithfully based on this legendary passive EQ. Our unique incarnation is inspired by two variants of the famed vintage unit. In the late 1970's Pulse Techniques, Inc. debuted a solid state version of the famed EQP-1A3 that featured an API 2520 discrete op amp to provide make-up gain for the passive EQ network instead of the usual tube amplifier. There was also a rare version (EQP-1S3) that offered 5 and 10 kHz high frequency shelving settings. We created a hybrid of the two and integrated an expanded set of passive shelving filters with a 2520-powered make-up gain amp to yield a combination that pulls high frequencies effortlessly to the front of any track or mix. To ensure maximum tonal bliss, Rogue-Tec Air is offered with the same ROGUE FIVE‹¢ discrete op amp we spent the last two years fine-tuning for the Silver Bullet.

About Colour
Colour is an exciting new modular platform for creating your own custom analog signal chains. The ever-growing family of modules allows you to bring multiple stages of high end analog processing to your setup a la carte.
The Colour platform consists of Colours and Palettes. Colours are ultra-compact, swappable analog circuit blocks that snap into the Palette, and impart various types of analog color such as distortion, saturation, compression, and even echo. The Palette provides input and output controls, power, and support circuitry for up to three Colour modules.
Currently, the Palette is available as a 500 Series unit from DIY Recording Equipment. In the near future there will be rackmount and Eurorack versions of the Colour Palette as well.
INTRODUCING COLOUR
MODULAR MOJO
Colour is an exciting new modular platform for creating your own custom analog signal chains. The ever-growing family of modules allows you to bring multiple stages of high end analog processing to your setup a la carte.

PREMIUM COMPONENTS & BUILD QUALITY
We chose every component in our Colour modules by ear for maximum mojo and its sonic synergy with the rest of the circuit. Our meticulous development process involved both empirical measurement and real-world studio use to validate the design. We also leveraged what we learned designing and building our other products. In this design you will find high end parts from Nichicon, Panasonic, Vishay, Susumu, Wima, and TI. All audio path resistors are 0.5% or 0.1% thin film types for low distortion and noise. Where applicable, some modules features custom American wound transformers and our very own discrete op amp. Our PCBs use high temperature Tg 170 material for long-term reliability. The entire assembly is RoHS compliant (lead free).
