A mastering and mix bus EQ with M/S function
The three bands has six frequencies each plus a high pass filter with twelve frequencies. Low and High bands can be switched between peak and shelving and each band is followed by a gain control. The EQ has its own cue function to monitor Left, Right, Mid or Side signals separately.
To maximize the usefulness, you can choose between normal Left/Right mode or Mid/Side (M/S).
When operated in M/S mode it opens up many more options, such as adding a bit of ‘air’ to the sides, applying the HPF to the side signal to mono-ing the low-end, and by adjusting the side signal level you can alter the stereo width.
With the mid channel controls you can manipulate some of the elements that are often panned centrally, such as bass, kick and snare drum, vocals and hi-hats. All this without adding an external M/S encoder/decoder to your setup.
The new TK-lizer 3 will replace the obsolete TK-lizer 2 and it has several updates both inside and cosmetical.
New bakelite knobs and toggle switches give it a more vintage look and the inside has new input and output circuits, updated EQ circuits for better low and high-end plus an updated M/S circuit for better channel separation.
The TK-lizer 3 is available for pre-order from your local dealer from now, and expected to start shipping in late June 2026.

I’ve needed the exact piece for years! I thought The Transceiver I was perfect until I got the Transceiver 2!
The Blend knob is incredibly useful when using stomp box compressors and distortion pedals.
The M/S Station unlocks the full potential of my vintage TAB W395a EQs for mastering. Being able to use these in mid/side and blended in to taste is fantastic! As if that wasn’t enough, the elliptical EQ section sounds great, and the stereo width control is handy if adjustments are needed after the previous M/S processing
I’ve been using TK Audio’s mic pres and compressors for years on every recording I’ve made. The new DP3 will be no exception.
