The Pultec EQP-1 Program Equalizer is an audio equalizer unit originally produced by Pulse Techniques (Pultec) from 1956 to 1981, and again since 2000 by a successor company.

en.wikipedia.org · Wikipedia 'Pultec EQP-1' (production 1956 to 1981). IK Multimedia's EQP-1A page says 'Released in 1951'; sources disagree.
