The GML 8200 comes industry standard with 5 band eq with overlapping bands and 15 db boost or cut. This thing is great, but the cost steers a lot of use away, most of us cant afford an item like this. That is why I go to the university to use it. I would never have this in my home studio anyways, its just too powerful for a small set up there would be no purpose in having it at home. So even if you can afford it, keep this in the big studio.


UTILIZATION

It has one of the best, most useful hardware EQs for a studio professional. George Massenburg invented parametric equalization, so is it any surprise that his own version of it is so highly regarded? The 8200 has a smooth, transparent sound that is great not just for fixing things in the mix, but also for sculpting your sound! And creating your own sound is very important in todays music, because there are so many copy cats, you will need to step out on the limb and be creative and come up with your own flavor.


SOUND QUALITY

sounds amazing!

OVERALL OPINION

I would recommend this EQ as it's the REAL DEAL! Honestly, if you can buy from the inventor of the parametric EQ industry, why wouldn't you? There is no compitition with the GML 8200 this is pretty much the highest quality you will get out of any product in this genre/ field. If you get a chance to get your hands on one of these than I congratulate you. Keep in mind they are around 5 grand brand new, and used around 3 grand. Even though it has been out for some time now, the price stays pretty high, I havent used any other model of the GML series so I really cant compare it. But I know 1 thing, the GML 8200 rocks1
