Thank you very much for the video. It’s clean but with character 👍

This is the BEST mixing and mastering channel on You Tube. Thank You Dom!

Very interesting, thank you. I agree that it does something special to the low end.

That is one sick EQ! Thanks Dom. It's so clean, but musical (i.e., doesn't impose any imprint, just better sounding music!) I'm going to have to add it to my wish list. And yes more analog gear reviews please!

Have five of them on individual buses. They are fantastic.

I did not now this EQ . This is a killer product !!! Thank you for sharing it . Best regards from Norway !

wow this sounds fantastic!

Not only does it sound great, but the layout of the unit is also very intuitive. Getting one.

Thanks so much Dom! I didn't know about the Zähl EQ, but it sounds fantastic. After hearing what it does, I would say it's a must-have! I don't have a rack yet but I think the time is approaching. I need this! (Or a plugin version of it, if that comes along before I can buy the hardware version.) Thanks again! 😀👍

Thanks for the review. I have this on my list for a long time. Here in Germany quite a lot of people know Zähl, but outside Germany he kind of flies under the rader. BTW Mr. Zähl used to work and built a console for the iconic producer Conny Plank, so he really knows his stuff...Zähl offers a dedicated hi end housing with external psu for their modules as well. Would be interesting to have a comparisson between this and some standart 500 frames, too. And you may have a look at the ADT Audio stuff as well, another company which is not well known outside Germany. They have a series called Toolmod...I would recommend to check out their compressor packed with a bunch of features.

haha love your excitement

Wow, really shapes the sound of the mix dramatically

Seriously, Dom… that first track is so good that even the extreme demonstration EQ settings still sounded great. Hard to f#%^ up a great song and track. Oh, and I like that EQ. 😊

I tried one of their AM-1 consoles that a friend has in his studio in Nashville, it was the perfect compact mixer I have ever seen it had both stereo & mono channels with those amazing EQs and a direct out level for tracking (like what inline desk should do). He also had the CV channel strips as well. We tracked guitar, drums and vocals with it and when I came back home to my desk a 56 channel Soundcraft MH-2 I really wanted the AM-1. But a 8 month waiting list along with a very expensive price tag of $100,000 was a bit out of my budget. But I had no idea they were selling the EQ as a 500 series module, I might have to pick one or two of those up!

Thanks!

Magic EQ!🎉🎉

Thank you Dom for such a great video, I really enjoy gear reviews. Looking forward to more videos like that. By the way, I`m truly blown away by this EQ. I didn`t know about it, but it sounds absolutely phenomenal. How does it work as a mastering EQ since it`s not stepped? Thanks once again.

Man, wow what a beautiful sounding eq… so surprised that this video is not sitting on 1/2K likes… I mean the sound of this eq is unbelievable

HTF? This is amazing! No, I didn't know about this. Thanks man.

Excellent démo. I really appreciate you.'re talking all thé Time and your sounds démo are absolutly FABULOUS ! SPÉCIAL MENTIO TO YOUR DRUMS LIX DEMO !! You eq'ed the DRUMS exactly as i would do if i had your ears ! Congratulations for your démos. I i put your Channel in m'y favorite.

Beautiful! Wish they did a 1U, single channel version too!

Looks like a great eq. You can always tell a company cares about the quality of its products when it's loaded with WIMA's and Panasonic FC's.

Crime Reborn, what an awesome Track. Some of those Dream Theatre vibes in there I really dig

That is a lovely EQ for sure. While I don't do analogue outboard myself this does inspire me to be a bit bolder with the EQ on the master bus of my mixes. Oh and I am loving 'Vintage Lullabies', is that a cello solo? Marvellous stuff.

You LITERALLY have my dream setup except I want the cranborne audio 500r8 and the zahl eq1😩. Now...time to finish watching the video

Outsatanding, the bass blew me away. A must have eq.

Nice one! Sounds like a Harrison 32.

Hi Dom- it sounds great and I've never heard of it before.I have some ananlog gear hooked up to cubase but no 500 series equipment . Perhaps you could inform us about how you would go about integrating 500 series equipment with cubase ?

I really like the song, Behind the Wall. Great EQ too.

That thing is great !!! I've been using IGS Rubber Bands 500 series its got vibe also !!

I love the sound of this. Crisp top end without harshness, elevated, tight bass without boominess. Love that you can set the gain staging on the OUTPUT - why don't more EQ's have this?

Yaaass! Sometimes it's just gotta be analog. Thing sounds great! The sound reminds me a bit of the SSL UVEQ, but the Zähl EQ1 has the perfect layout. That is one depressing bypass button. 🙂

What a cool song!

Oh man, they do mixers as well. You don't want to know. Modular so you can decide how many mono or stereo channels for instance. It has some very special features like CV on the mixer and more handy stuff. Very pricey ofcourse. When the time is right this one will definitely being added to my arsenal. Thanks for the video! Not many Zhael video's out there

I had one and sold it. And I totally regret it😂. So I will buy one again soon😊

Yes I would enjoy more analog stuff

I own a 12 channel Zähl mixer and also love their preamps. It has been my secret weapon for years ... Not anymore ;)

You r good and great musician you must do more videos on hardware equipment’s More on Zack Eq brother❤

Dom beautiful song right balance i”ve downloaded it but mix is a bit muddy and dark having said that when ran the mix through the zahl eq in your demo the veil was lifted upper mids and highs everything came forward i think you should remastere it through the zahl thank you cheers

Agreed about the audio quality and how it makes music!! Careful, if your source is crappy...garbage in, garbage out.

Michael Zähl, developed the legendary 56 track console for Conny Plank Studio in 1970.

Very nice piece at the beginning of the tutorial, did you Dom compose it ?

Well made presentation, was much needed, as this unit somehow esoteric. Zahl is unique, thier cv channel strip of the am1 console is a concept that is worth an awared for inevation. I got the mid side unit by Zahl, but unfortunately havent got the money for the eq unit. You said that vocal also being treated with the eq1, are you sending a mono signal trough the unit? Does it make sense?

Wow !!! That is what i was looking for. I’m using the SSL UltraViolet. I was missing something. Hopefully the price won’t hold me down. Thank you for the video.

Brooo that thing sounds insane.

Please do more videos on Zhal Eq It’s a request 🤗🤗❤️

Dom how do you chop up the amend break in Cubase. Do you chop it up and put it in groove agent or do you use sample tracker once it is chopped up or do you use key midi. I am interested in doing dubstep. Can you help me out.

Man that thing sounds wonderfull. ::Looks up the price:: Alllriiiighty then! Back to digital plugins...

Hello. Can you help me find and download MIDI Loops for Cubase? Thank you.

It definitely sounds good, but yo that price tag puts me at a hard pass scenario 😂

Hi Dom. Have you compared this to the dreamer 1974? Thoughts

This unit was a bit too expensive for myself as an amateur, so i bought the IGS rubberband eq instead which is also very nice. But man the zahl eq in bypass makes you feel the original signal is very filtered! Hahahaha the other way around hahaha. So my rack is full but maybe later as i make some money with my music i will reconsider for sure! Nice vid thanks! Cheers

03:45 was pure sauce 🔥❤

Hello, Can you the GML 8200?, thanks a lo in advance!

only one that gets 10/10, one notch above all alternative, including Manley

Im sold.

🙏🏼

Insane😅

Hey! First one here! BOOM!😁 ANY chance there's a plugin emulation of this, Dom? Also could you pls give us a link to where you get your t-shirts and include it in your description in the future? I know you've mentioned where you get them before, but I'll never find the vid going thru my history.🙏🏾

Also Zhal has an AM 1 master insert point, with M/S: function, in these days it's so difficult to invest 🙏🏽, thank you for showing the eq module. Ok i made comment early. Beautiful. 4:34 Why don't you buy the console. 7:09, it's a quite long time in my Thomann wish list 😂🥲 17:09

I'm on the fence between this and the API 5500

I would like to to her it in a drum group vocal group or bass

Which DA/AD converter do you use for the Zahl eq?

Can we have that in a plugin? 😳

I can call myself a lucky owner of the Zähl EQ. It's my only analog EQ and i don't feel even the slightest need for a different one. Love that you made a video about it, bc back when I bought it there were very little useful demo videos out there!

This video is not helping my GAS. I have the WesAudio Hyperion… I don’t need this… but holy moly those filters!!! I want so baddd. More videos like this!

I must have this. Oh the wallet is crying . . . 😭

これは良さそうだ

I call you Dom Cubase

only bad thing about owning this EQ is that it makes u want a whole zahl mixing desk :(

IS IT better than api 5500 or just cheaper

my non existing wallet of millionare dj wants this in a custom 2 channel mixer

Did you try the hyperion?

How can this be a "Secret"? Nonsense 😂

Sorry was on the song behind the wall

9:46 every DAW looks the same

imagine the console....

The price isn't terrible. But if you're wanting 2 of theses in a brand new 500 system... you're going to need some lube.

£1,457.50 ex VAT.

If anyone out there can help, pls do. Is there a way of auditioning loops in MediaBay at halftime or double time? This would be much more convenient, rather than dropping the loop into the project then time-stretching it.

In the Box baby, In the Box

Pity no step knobs, needed for mastering...

More snake oil.

An absolute monster of an EQ. To anyone on the fence, the expense is worth it. It's useful for any genre or sound source. The EQ1 is a desert island piece of gear. The IM1 module is also enormously helpful and does a lot more than just Mid/Side. Glad to see that the "secret" is out on Zähl.

Sorry : i appreciate you're NOT talking all the time...

Thank you very much for the video. It’s clean but with character 👍
