BAE Audio Debuts the B15 EQ, Expanding Its 500 Series Product Line
BAE Audio introduces its latest sonic creation: the B15 multi-band equalizer. The B15, which ships this month and is priced at $1,000, delivers sonic attributes of the classic 312 circuit in an economically efficient and compact 500 series package.
The new B15 EQ is an all-discrete design, featuring three bands with five selectable frequencies per band. Created to BAE Audio’s discriminating vintage specifications, the build and performance of the B15 does not disappoint, complete with Jensen transformers at the input and output stage, Elma gold plated rotary switches and a 15-way gold connector for longer life. The aesthetics of the B15 are equally as sleek, featuring custom-machined aluminum knobs set against a classic matte black housing.
The B15 is the latest in BAE Audio’s 500 series. Last month, the company announced its 1073MPL 500 series preamplifier, which delivers the ‘larger than life’ sound of the 1073 available in a very small package. For equipment manufacturers, designing and building high quality 500 series modules is often ripe with challenges, given the significantly reduced physical space. With the B15, the 1073MPL and its other 500 series units, BAE Audio has maintained a very high manufacturing standard, as each of its units are hand-wired and assembled in California.
The B15 is available now through BAE Audio’s network of authorized dealers, and carries a retail price of $1,000. For more information on the new B15, go here.
