VT N95 ME | Mastering Equalizer

VT N95 ME | Mastering Equalizer | The Legend is Back… and Better Than Ever!

With the VT N95 ME, Vintagetools is introducing a completely newly developed device for the first time – made from brand-new components, without compromising on quality. The idea of faithfully cloning this equalizer has been around for a long time. However, instead of creating a replica with the same design, but using cheaper components or cutting costs by omitting the expensive transformers – as is often the case – our goal was to develop a no-compromise, high-quality reproduction that preserves the authentic quality of early broadcast technology.

The Challenge:

How can this equalizer be reproduced with the same quality, improved in terms of measurements, and enhanced with useful features – without altering its sound and character – while keeping it at a reasonable price?

After over two years of development, we have the answer:

Vintagetools VT N95 ME – Features

✔ Authentic circuit design – without compromises
✔ Dual-mono concept – perfectly matched channels for ultimate precision
✔ High-quality rotary switches instead of potentiometers – for maximum durability and repeatability
✔ Internal analog power supply with automatic voltage detection
✔ Floating balanced circuitry – equipped with four original Haufe input and output transformers, no cheap replicas
✔ Extended mid-band – additional band with overlapping frequencies using the 1/4-octave principle
✔ Q-switching like the original – via a precise 3-position switch
✔ Expanded frequency selection for high and low bands – instead of three, now offering six selectable frequencies
✔ Authentic gain steps – customizable upon request
