AN EXPERIMENT IN SOUND & LIGHT

PRISM

Your sound. A different light.

An equalizer on an alchemist’s workbench. Split sound into a rainbow, reach for a brass handle, and watch the spectrum change as you shape what you hear.

FOLLOW THE RAINBOW

Hear the change.
See it in the light.

Red marks the low frequencies; violet marks the highs. The light shows your equalizer settings: brighten a region to bring it forward, dim it to make space, or trim the edges of the spectrum.

PRISM is a stereo parametric EQ built into a living, three-dimensional workshop. Click the little brass plaques to lean in for a closer look. Click again to return to the bench.

THREE FILTERS. HANDS ON.

Slide. Open. Focus.

Slide a carriage to choose its frequency. Move the aperture lever to boost or cut. Extend the focus sleeve to shape the width of the band.

Pull a filter clear of the spectrum and it parks out of the signal path. Bring it back when the experiment calls for it.

I

Shape the edges.

The low- and high-cut shutters trim the ends of the spectrum. Move them to choose the cutoff, and tilt the filter to adjust how steeply it falls away.

II

A little left. A little right.

Give the left and right channels their own EQ settings. The BOTH position adds a third, shared EQ after them. Switch between the three and the machine moves to show each set of adjustments.

III

Turn the light up.

The output control brightens or dims the whole spectrum as it raises or lowers the level. Close the light shutter to bypass the effect; open it to return to your experiment.

KEEP THE HAPPY ACCIDENTS

Eight experiments.
One turn away.

Each position on the experiment wheel remembers where you left the machine. Turn to another setting, explore a different sound, and come back whenever you like.

Worn wood, candlelight, glass, and moving brass. A serious equalizer with something of a puzzle-box soul.
