The MK3, originally designed by Stefan Sulke in the 1970s, was initially exclusively manufactured and distributed by the Swiss-based company FILTEK.

Over time, this design became the most widely imitated and licensed equalizer design for Dannercassettes. The LAWO W995/7 and the BFE MK3 are precise 1:1 replicas of the Filtek design.

The circuitry of the FILTEK MK3 is constructed to high-quality standards and complies with the specifications of the IRT (Institut für Rundfunk Technik). FILTEK upholds a rich tradition of producing exceptional vintage broadcast modules. Initially, these modules were exclusively created for radio stations due to their high initial cost. However, over the years, they have found their way into recording studios worldwide as affordable and dependable equipment.

Customer feedback review Filtek 32×2 Summing Mixer

Hi Paul, I’m Aleix! And yesterday I was testing the discrete summing Filtek bfe! And I liked very much!  Yesterday we tried it in my studio with a Digi 003 + Converter RME ADI 8 to have 16 tracks for summing! The Filtek is very clear, when mixed, it is very easy, because once everything is in place, treble and bass are more clear! I tried the SPL MixDream and Neve. And I love the SPL! But after testing the Filtek, both quality and price is amazing !!!!! So I like this new Filtek you’re building! Aleix Arcs from Barcelona

Customer review Filtek vintage summing unit – UK. 

I’ve bought one summing mixer from  3 months ago and I’m really happy with its sound (it is Filtek BFE option). This box does exactly what all consumer multichanel audio interfaces lack. I’m currently using it with M-audio ProFire 2626. What I would like to say is that this guy is real 🙂 and he’s making very nice equipment out there. Besides, he is very approachable and helpful regarding all questions and inquiries.

Feedback from Studio  VAA

+1 to the above posts. I got the filtek 16 channel version to use in a fully treated project space at the beginning of the year… throw in a pair of ensembles and set focal twins and … well lets say this ‘compact’ set up blows clients of all genres away… Full stop. The clarity, imaging and tonality is simply astonishing for the outlay. An aural pleasure . If you are itb, got some nice valvie toys (and understand analogue gain staging within a daw – its amazing how many don’t!) and want to get the rich and silky console joy this is the best 500 quid you could possibly spend….IMHO (ok sprinkle a healthy few k for the other bits!)
