Protecting Against Electrostatic
Discharge – Static electricity can harm
delicate components on the HV-35 board. To
prevent static damage, discharge static
electricity from your body before you touch
any jumpers or switches with the cover
removed. You can do so by touching an
unpainted metal surface on the API rack’s
chassis.
Do not install or remove the
module until the rack’s power is
off.
Compatible Racks — The NSEQ —HF is
designed to work in an API 500VPR or Lunch
box rack. If you are using another brand, be
sure it meets or exceeds the API spec.
The NSEQ —HF power consumption is
+210mA with all LEDs on.
EQ IN — places EQ in the signal path.
Hardwired relay bypass when out.
Frequency Select Switch — selects fixed
high frequencies.
Peak/Shelf Select — When LED is on, EQ is
shelving at 6 dB per octave. When LED is off,
EQ is peaking with a fixed "Q" of 1.0.
Balanced/Unbalanced Input—
Unbalanced increases gain by 6dB to
compensate for possible signal loss when
balanced and unbalanced equipment is
used in the same signal path.
Gain Range — +/- 18dB or when LED is
on, +/- 9dB
Boost/Cut Control — +18(9) dB of
boost and -18(9) dB of cut. Boost/Cut
potentiometer has 21 detented positions
for accurate repeatability and session
logging.
The graph below shows maximum cut
and boost at 8 kHz for peaking and
shelving settings

Reviews & Awards
“Since adding the NSEQ-2 to our mastering rack, about 90% of our customers have preferred it
against all other parametric equalizers in our mastering chain.“
Denny Purcell, Georgetown Masters, Nashville
“The NSEQ-2 joins the ranks of the world’s premiere
equalizers.”
Bob Ludwig, Gateway Mastering
“IT’S SIMPLY FANTASTIC! We in studio are astonished about the transparency of the sound
comes out! We have a xxxx in one room with xxxx and in the other room we have xxxx xxx, your
EQ is second to none!”
Fabrizio De Carolis, Reference Mastering Studios,
Rome, Italy
“Using the Millennia NSEQ-2 has made me completely re-think how I use EQ. Where I used to
avoid using EQ at all, the NSEQ-2 has been employed to put just the right touch in a recording.
The NSEQ- 2’s transparency and musicality is stunning! I don’t know of an EQ, digital or analog,
that could approach its qualities.”
Michael Bishop, Telarc International
“The most transparent equalizer I’ve heard to date.”
Tom Jung, DMP Records
“...the transparency of the signal path is remarkable, and the smooth musicality of the EQ bands
as they are adjusted is something special... both [vacuum tube and solid state topologies] are
astonishingly clean.“
Richard Foister, Studio Sound Magazine, UK
“...this is an excellent machine capable of very fine results irrespective of the of the technology
in the amplification. Although, like most sane people, I would normally find it difficult to enthuse
about a simple equalizer, this really is something very special and I have only come across one
other similar device which I found as audibly exciting. I would expect [the NSEQ-2] to become a
very common entry in the equipment inventory of most mastering houses and top-end studios
over here once the word gets out.
Hugh Robjohns, Sound On Sound Magazine, UK
“I believe the NSEQ is, audibly, the most perfect analog equalizer I have ever had the pleasure to
use.”
Dr. Fred Bashour, Pro Audio Review
“The bottom line: For mission critical EQ applications where transparency is a paramount
necessity, the NSEQ-2 is king. Prepare to be thrilled.”
Michael Cooper, Mix Magazine , Feature Review
"You've heard of the mythical 'straight wire with gain.' Well, the NSEQ-2 is as close to an analog
'straight wire with gain' as I have heard in 27 years of audiophile and professional engineering
work."
Bob Katz, Chief Engineer, Digital Domain Mastering, Florida
"You've made a believer of me, and redefined the concept of "neutral" Eq. The clarity and
transparency of your EQs is much greater than the AD/DA converted DAT sources that comprise
the bulk of our work today. It's truly a breakthrough product, and redefines clean, neutral tonal
control in the analog domain."
Dave Davis, QCA Mastering / Ultrainteractive.
