Harrison 32C : ça donne quoi ?

Citation : I beta tested this for weeks, This IS the best sounding Digital EQ I have ever used

This is a sweet and smooth sounding eq, not a surgical Cambridge type. It really has changed my thoughts on EQs.

First thing I used it on was a kick drum and a bass, I was able to make this sit together almost instantly. I usually use the 88VR (my main goto eq), but it wasn't sitting. So instead of reaching for the Cambridge and start slicing, I open the harrison on both tracks. And within a minute, the were lock in tight.

Overheads. Sparkle, the mids came out just beautifully, not boxy, just right.

On Acoustic guitar, I got so much sparkle with out the overbearing high that happen so often, And again the mids!

I also used it in the master buss on a R&B track and got the bass just right. Ya know how the Helio can seem too boomy and the pultec to lowboosted/mid-cut-ish, The 88vr feels like you have to boost it too far, the Harrison just did what was in my head.

To me the highs are a combination of the pultec and Helios, as far as it smoothness goes. the lows are tight and "right" sounding. The cut filters are like no others, strong like the Bax slope on the Cambridge, yet smooth.

In use, The boost/cut knobs need to be pushed alittle more than I expected, +4 and above thing really come to like. The bands on the EQ seem really wide making it so smooth. It does have its own sound, but not like the NEVE eqs do, This can be used everywhere.

Citation : Harrison 32C EQ , .....plenty of colour here ... im no expert but can i say "crunchy" ..... i like it

Citation : To me it's quite clean. Actually so clean that there's not much in it a standard digital eq can't do. Except when you enable the 2 filters, even without using them. Then the sound alters in a way I can't reproduce with a standard digital eq.

Citation : at first impression it's a smoooooooooth EQ. Wonderful mids and highs, tight bass. It goes up with 88RS that I love and use most, but IMHO 88RS is more modern sounding. This is round but not fat, warm but not too much, and at first impression it works pretty much on a lot of different tracks. Midrange clarity is impressive, IMHO. Usually I don't like presets, but I do think some one are really great starting points here...

Citation : My first impression is that it's very easy to quickly dial in something that sounds really good on a variety of instruments. Definitely not surgical but very smooth and it makes a great channel eq for well recorded tracks. In other words, vey musical.

Citation : Very nice EQ. Could fill the gap between Pulteq and Helios. The Harrison sounds more pleasant in the highs then the Pulteq but needs a bit more gain in the mids to have it more comparable to the Pulteq. Nice for mixing and mastering, but of course needs a bit DSP power
