Thermionic Culture Kite Stereo EQ with Attitude Review

The Kite offers more than just EQ—it adds character. Built with an all-valve signal path, it includes controls for bass, top-end lift, and a special “Attitude” setting that introduces sweet harmonic distortion. Switchable filters and frequency points give you loads of flexibility. The “Air” function is especially impressive, adding shimmer and openness without harshness. And with indented knobs and stereo control, it’s easy to recall your settings. Available with either unbalanced or transformer-balanced outputs, The Kite is built to handle pro mixes with a musical touch.

Standard vs. Balanced Versions of The Kite EQ

The Thermionic Culture The Kite Stereo EQ with Attitude comes in two versions to match different studio setups. The Standard version features unbalanced outputs, making it ideal for shorter cable runs and simpler gear chains. On the other hand, the Balanced version includes high-quality Sowter transformer-balanced outputs, which help reduce noise and maintain signal integrity over longer distances—perfect for professional studios. Both deliver the same rich, tube-driven tone, but the Balanced model offers an extra layer of clarity and flexibility for more demanding workflows.
