REVIEW
“At the low end it can deliver weight and bloom very nicely, while the high‑end boost is fabulously airy, adding gloss and sheen without any hint of harshness or grit.
All in all, I have to say that I am very impressed with both the engineering and musicality of the LCPQ 4040.”

“Amazing equalisers! I’m in love with them.
Beautifully made and they sound wonderful on acoustic pianos, strings, guitars and massive on drums!”

“I’ve been using the LCPQ 4040s for mastering and recording and they are very smooth and sweet with high headroom.
I’ve also used them on vocals and 2 bus and they excelled at both!”

“The LCPQ 4040s sound quite wonderful – and the build quality (not to mention the power supply) puts some of my other units to shame.
Some of my cuts and boosts are only half a dB but they still make such a difference with this – it really sounds terrific!”

“Our two LCPQ 4040s are outstanding EQ’s that we use in every session!”

“Amazing boxes. The transient punch is very quick and won out easy on tests. Even with a lot of drive, I found it hard to match.
The quality is staggeringly good. They’re like the EQ I’ve always been searching for. Very impressed!”

“Not often do I come across a piece that can facilitate both mixing and mastering equally well.
These are probably the best filters I’ve heard.”
William Pearson

Nancy & Frank Sinatra, Natalie & Nat King Cole, Warner Bros. Records and more…
“This is probably the best sounding EQ (overall) that I’ve used. On the low end, this thing is HUGE. Punchy, full, and I couldn’t get it to sound muddy or flabby in a normal application. I cannot forget how elegantly this thing can change mixes. Sometimes gear really matters. This is one of those times.”

“Super stoked to join the 4040 club. the more I use these the more I’m loving them.
Just killing on the mix buss. I also using them for tracking a LOT.
The build is fantastic, and the PSU robust solid. fkking killer!”

“With that well-regulated external power supply and the measurements I’ve done so far regarding THD, noise, etc., these units indeed belong to the big league of analog EQs.
I am surprised by how closely matched my pair is”

“Many thanks for building this EQ!
If disengaged the signal sounds smaller. If engaged again the signal sounds bigger, stronger, fatter, more present.
Really great!”
