The xfilter 500 is all about flexibility. It offers high and low shelf bands, both of which can be switched into high and low cut filters with resonance - a special feature culled from elysia’s flagship equalizer, the museq. The xfilter 500 also provides two mid peak filters with switchable (wide or narrow) Q factor. In addition to its four flexible active bands, the xfilter 500 features a unique switchable fixed LC filter for polishing the high frequency range. This passive filter mainly consists of a capacitor and a coil per channel that produce a slight resonance peak around 12kHz, focusing the saturation-like storage effect of the coil on the area around the peak without pushing the complete high frequency spectrum too much. By linking its two channels the xfilter 500 eliminates the task of matching the settings for left and right in tedious knob-fiddling sessions. All stepped potentiometers ensure a fast and precise recall of earlier settings.
“The tricky technical demands resulting from the design of a linked stereo EQ have been handled with great care”, says elysia co-founder Dominik Klassen. “Every single dual and quad layer pot we buy is measured with custom computer routines, and only the good ones go into production. A special series of low tolerance film capacitors aim at additional precision, all for the sake of a precise stereo image.”
The xfilter 500 is made in Germany, exclusively using top quality components, gold plated PCBs, a rugged 4mm aluminum front panel and solid aluminum knobs.

100% Class-A Topology
- Discrete input, output and mix stages plus the complete audio path running in constant class-A mode are the basis for an exceptionally transparent, wide and open sounding EQ.
True Stereo Operation
- As one of the few exceptions in the market, the xfilter 500 processes both of its channels with just one set of controllers – a true stereo linked EQ.
Resonance High & Low Cut Filters
- The shelving filters can be switched into high and low cut filters with an additional resonance peak. Not ordinary, but extremely useful.
Switchable Filter Quality
- The quality of the peak filters can be switched from a wide to a narrow Q factor which remains independent from the setting of the gain controller.
Additional Passive High-Band
- The beautiful sheen only passive filters can deliver... the xfilter 500 has it all. An additional LC filter with shielded coils gives you the 'Passive Massage'.
Stepped Controllers
- All potentiometers on the xfilter 500 have 41 steps, which is a great help for recalling your previous sessions fast and precisely.
Computer-Selected Potentiometers
- Every single dual and quad layer pot we buy is measured with custom computer routines, and only the good ones go into production.
Special Low Tolerance Capacitors
- The special series of film caps used for the xfilter 500 performs twice as good as the industry standard in terms of component tolerance.
Ground Layer Shield
- One of the four layers of both PCBs is a full copper plane which helps to reduce interferences caused by electric fields.
Technical Data
- You are interested in learning more about typical measurements and technical specifications of the xfilter 500? This is the right place to check.
