This affordable little box goes into your audio rig and lets you turn four little knobs until the music sounds right. Crafted like a premium audio component, this four-band equalizer from Schiit Audio proves that there’s a place for properly-engineered, well-executed tone controls in hi-fi. In this video we also show you graphs that illustrate the range and effects of each of the band controls.

Interesting!

Wow! I was looking for exactly this, before starting on a quest that has me on a third set of speakers for my desktop system this year. I actually looked at crappy used graphic equalizers (with "open frame dust collecting sliders", as Jason says), and seriously considered new equalizers meant for use in cars, but finally started collecting speakers. If only I could go back in time... OK, I'm in.

20hz tone control is what i need in my life

Schiit FTW again !!

It's about time a high quality yet inexpensive analog EQ became available to the Head-Fi world.

Can't wait to get one!

So glad this point has been made on headfi. I've debated the use of EQs with purists for years. It's nice to not have to spend $5,000 on a Manley Massive Passive just to get clean eq adjustments. Nicely done, Schiit.

i will get this to make my planers to rumble the schiit out of me

Awesome product introduction. Schiit guys ROCK!!

Finally! Someone (had to be Schiit) makes a proper hardware EQ for desktops. But the recycled name will confuse Google searchers for years to come.

Runs on 16V AC so isn't fully passive (active when not in bypass mode) but no problem if it works perfectly. Think I'll finally get Schiit's Floor Wart so I can power a Loki and my Vali with one adapter.

How does this play in the signal chain with a balanced output DAC/amp? The signal would no longer be balanced, correct?

I wonder about this too. Probably schiit will make a balanced loki in the future. Still, good job Schiit!

That 20Hz knob will be a godsend for anyone with a pair of bass-light open-back headphones (which is pretty much all of them).

Well, at least until the drivers reach their excursion limits.

 

[Angular Mo]

Oh how I wanted a balance control !

 

[Sound Eq]

finally an eq hardware tool

 

[ahmadfaizadnan]

Looking at the name, I am pretty sure there'll be a balanced Loki or more input/output Loki in the future.
