{"product_id":"white-instruments-4400-the-28-band-tone-surgeon","title":"White Instruments 4400: The 28-Band Tone Surgeon","description":"\u003cp\u003eOut of Austin, Texas came a graphic EQ that quietly became the studio standard while flashier rivals grabbed the magazine covers. The White Instruments 4400 skips the fragile faders and hands you 28 rotary knobs, one per third-octave band, so your settings survive transport, gravity and clumsy elbows. Inside, every band is a hand-tuned pair of inductors and capacitors: passive, low noise and almost impossible to kill. The payoff is a narrow, surgical Q with very little spill between neighbouring bands, and a tone engineers reach for when they want warm and unmistakably analogue. This unit is wired for South African mains and ready to rack. Put it on vocals, bass or a cluttered mix and it behaves less like a tone control and more like a precision instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES \u0026amp; PROS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e28 rotary bands:\u003c\/strong\u003e one knob per third-octave band from 31.5 Hz to 16 kHz, so settings stay put and recall is instant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eL-C inductor design:\u003c\/strong\u003e passive, hand-tuned filters that add no noise and shrug off decades of use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNarrow surgical Q:\u003c\/strong\u003e lift or cut one frequency without smearing its neighbours, ideal for tracking and fixing problem mixes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarm analogue character:\u003c\/strong\u003e the inductor circuit delivers the thick, musical tone players chase.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree outputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e distribute the signal, or biamp and triamp using the powered crossover socket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable band limiting:\u003c\/strong\u003e built-in high and low-pass filters tame the extremes before they cause trouble.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilent EQ in\/out:\u003c\/strong\u003e front-panel bypass for honest before-and-after comparison.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlug and play in SA:\u003c\/strong\u003e built-in three-prong South African mains, no step-down adapter circus.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter type: L-C active, single-pole pair (inductor based)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBands: 28 one-third-octave, ISO centres 31.5 Hz to 16 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRange: ±10 dB per band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 20 Hz to 20 kHz, typically within 2 dB with filters centred\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic range: 108 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum operating level: +18 dBu into 600 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise: better than -90 dBu at unity gain, 20 kHz bandwidth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistortion: under 0.02% THD at +18 dBu into 600 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-pass filter: -3 dB point adjustable from 20 Hz to 160 Hz, 12 dB per octave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs: three (signal distribution or biamp\/triamp via powered crossover socket)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannels: one (mono)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: 19-inch rack mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: built-in, South African three-prong mains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: 4400 (Model 2708)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: 31\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: used, in working order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"White Instruments","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49706998169839,"sku":"31","price":2400.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/5992\/9071\/files\/IMG_5379.jpg?v=1780999751","url":"https:\/\/innerpieces.art\/products\/white-instruments-4400-the-28-band-tone-surgeon","provider":"Inner Pieces","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
