Rupert Neve Design 551 Inductor EQ 500 #551-3175

The 551 is the only 500 Series equalizer personally designed by Rupert Neve. It features three EQ bands inspired by his most iconic vintage designs, paired with custom-wound inductors, transformers, and class-A gain blocks. The result is the signature thick, punchy lows and smooth, musical highs of Rupert’s classics, now in a 500-Series format.

- Low Frequency Band: Delivers creamy, resonant bass reminiscent of the vintage 1064.
- Midrange Band: Modeled after the legendary 1073, perfect for enhancing vocals and instruments, bringing them forward in the mix.
- High Frequency Band: A unique blend of vintage character and modern precision.
- High-Pass Filter: 12dB/octave slope with a fixed cutoff at 80Hz, for precise low-end control.
