WLK-Audio – Inductive Filter Bank

The Inductive Filter Bank from WLK-Audio, is for those of you who want to get a special classic into the studio - a high-quality and meticulously developed tool for sound design and fine-tuning work alike.

This filterbank is the mono version, of the Extended Range Fixed Filterbank from the same manufacturer. Both take their cues from SND's rare classic, the FB 14 Mono Filterbank, which is based on discrete coil technology. However, the WLK engineers have not simply copied, but thought ahead and now deliver us a filterbank with outstandingly clear sound and very elegant overdrive behavior which allows for overdriving without loss of character.

The carefully chosen frequency bands allow consistently good results, with which "musical" tweaks in your sounds are an easy task. These are at:

35Hz, 65Hz, 105Hz, 160Hz, 240Hz, 360Hz, 540Hz, 800Hz, 1.2KHz, 1.8KHz, 2.7KHz, 4KHz, 7KHz, 12KHz.

The hand-wound coils impress with the highest quality and are not only good for refining your sounds, but allow extreme, frequency-specific distortion without "squashing" the sound - instead clear and direct.

Compared to the FB 14, the WLK filter bank is a lot creamier in the treble range and a little less harsh overall.

It is worth trying the Inductive Filter Bank and convince yourself of the sound.

Only balanced cable runs will work with this filter bank.
