ARTISTS ON PASSIVE EQ

"WOW!! It adds a detailed warmth that I wasn't getting before."
Dready (Producer for Busta Rhymes, G Unit, Dr. Dre)

"Passive EQ does things I couldn't quite match with any other EQ, e.g. transforming the grit from a sawtooth synth in original ways."
Adam Berg (Engineer for Aloe Blacc, Melody Thornton, Richard Rudolph / Grammy listed in 2008 and 2009)
