Description
RS-56S UTC equaliser (1950s/60s)
The UTC (Universal Tone Control) is a powerful equalier unit.
Developed in the 1950s by one of EMI's most skilled technicians,
it received the nickname 'the Curve Bender' for its ability to shape
a sound. At a time when most equalizer devices were simple affairs,
this was a complex and very flexible tool.

Built to practically military standards, the UTC is considered betterr
quality than almost any studio equaliser unit produced today. The
original specification states, “one of nearly 14 million
pre-determined frequency response curves can be selected
at will”. And that was just for the mono version!
