RSE Audio

RSE Lab

Help shape what we build next. RSE Lab is where we explore ideas for new analog studio equipment before committing them to production.

How it works

01

Concept

We present a product idea and its intended function before committing resources to full development.

02

Interest

Engineers who would seriously consider the product can register their interest. No payment is required.

03

Engineering review

If sufficient interest exists, we evaluate the design, production cost, component availability and expected price.

04

Development

Viable projects can move to reservation, prototype development, testing and limited production.

500 Series Tube EQ

RSE Lab Project 01

A new analog equalizer concept

This project explores a 500 Series equalizer intended for tracking, mixing and tonal shaping.

The current concept combines a tube signal stage with a transformer-coupled output and four EQ sections designed around broad, musical control rather than surgical correction.

The exact frequency ranges, filter shapes, control steps and final architecture have not yet been fixed.

The project is currently at the interest-validation stage rather than being presented as a finished product.

Preliminary concept

  • 500 Series format
  • Tube signal stage
  • Transformer-coupled output
  • LF / MID 1 / MID 2 / HF EQ sections
  • Switchable low-frequency cut
  • HF shelf / peak operation
  • Adjustable output make-up gain
  • Fully analog signal path
