Thermionic Culture Freebird: Getting Frequencies Right with Tubes
Posted on Tuesday, April 13 @ 00:00:00 CDT by admin

In today's pro audio technology, the warmth that antiquated vacuum tube can provide has no comparison. Everything from guitar overdrive to various modulation effects emanating out of tubes are loved so much due to the great consonance they provide. Equalizers are no exception to the rule as the new Thermionic Culture Freebird aims to demonstrate.
"Freebird" is a new three-channel valve EQ. It has a modular design that allows it to be easily integrated with other modular systems. The unit itself has a half-rack design for space economy but can also be put together with another unit in a 19" rack case for a total of six EQ channels. This modular design from Thermionic Culture will also be exhibited in other succeeding products to allow loyal fans of Thermionic Culture to develop other tube-based rigs of their own.
The heart of "Freebird" is a baxandall-type circuit that gives two shelving equalizers (one for low and one for high frequencies) with switchable shelf EQ points. Its broad range of parameters include a unique circuit that controls presence (an active mid lift EQ),a fixed frequency mid cut, a single-position high pass filter, gain control, and bypass switch.
Even with today's digital advancement, Thermionic Culture is quick to explain that nothing can provide that convincing feel found in outboard valve EQ units. "Freebird" is designed to do just that as well as provide a bit more, whether it's sweetening vocals, shaping guitar tracks, or giving drums that great punch.
Thermionic Culture Freebird's availability and pricing are TBA.
