Heritage Audio MOTORCITY EQ Single-Channel Passive EqualizerIf you're looking for a hardware passive equalizer with more mystic than the Pultec and a punchy, sweet, and proven retro sound, consider the Heritage Audio MOTORCITY EQualizer, a single channel passive EQ modelled on a famed Motown unit. Modelled might be the wrong word: this is an authentic recreation, with components matching to a tolerance of 1% with the original. Previously, only a select few had access to this privately made equalizer.
If you're looking for a hardware passive equalizer with more mystic than the Pultec and a punchy, sweet, and proven retro sound, consider the Heritage Audio MOTORCITY EQualizer, a single-channel passive EQ modelled on a famed Motown unit. Modelled might be the wrong word: this is an authentic recreation, with components matching to a tolerance of 1% with the original.
Previously, only a select few had access to this privately made equalizer. Basically, Michael Brauer—and that's it. But now, you too can have the lustrous, punchy sound of this seven-band passive equalizer, using the same graphical layout and stepped bakelite knobs that helped shape the sound of so many classic American hits.
History and Recreation
- Recreated from Motown units owned by eight-time Grammy winning producer and mixing engineer Michael Brauer, Heritage Audio left no stone unturned in recreating the unmistakably huge, punchy, and warm sound that makes this EQ as classic as the hits it helped create. With a 10-gauge hand-brushed aluminum face plate, historically accurate control layout, and custom-molded bakelite knobs, the MOTORCITY EQualizer looks the part. More importantly, the passive equalization circuit is identical to the original design. The MOTORCITY EQualizer is specifically designed to rival the arguably more famous Pultec EQ.
- It was no simple task to make a 100% accurate reincarnation. Peter Rodriguez and his team from Heritage Audio worked for weeks with their friends at Black Lion Audio. Seth Berman from Black Lion Audio's NY facility took the lead in getting the info together for Heritage to make the unit.
- Heritage Audio recreated the exceptionally tight mil-spec 1960's tone capacitors and inductors from scratch. They built them with exact matches in materials, values, and tolerances.

So good we ordered more — flawless WiFi upgrade
Size: 2 Pack, Style: Wi-Fi 7 BE5000
The TP-Link Deco BE25 (Deco 7) Dual-Band BE5000 WiFi 7 Mesh system has been an absolute game changer for our home network.
Setup was surprisingly simple, and within minutes we had strong, stable coverage throughout the entire house. Dead zones we used to struggle with are completely gone. The signal stays consistent even when moving between floors and rooms, which makes a huge difference for streaming, video calls, and smart devices.
Speed and reliability have both been noticeably improved. Everything feels faster and more responsive, especially with multiple devices connected at once. The app is also easy to use for managing settings and monitoring the network.
It worked so well that we ended up ordering more units to expand coverage even further. That really says it all—this system just works, and it works well. Highly recommended for anyone looking to upgrade their home WiFi to something truly reliable.

Plug & Play - Stable Fast Network
Size: 3 Pack, Style: Wi-Fi 7 BE5000, Size: 3 Pack, Style: Wi-Fi 7 BE5000
I replaced a previous version of these Deco mesh routers (X55)- installed my previous ones at my in laws and upgraded myself with these. It was truly plug-and-play, and I have all of them wired backhaul. The only couple things that surprised me was the size. They are much larger than they appear in the pictures. The other is the LED control. I like the previous version you cannot individually control the LEDs for these so it’s all or nothing. I upgraded the unmanaged switch at my patch panel that wires the house with 2.5gb, making sure that the backhaul on these was as possible.
By this point I’ve had them for about six months and I’ve had zero downtime. My wife and I are both professionals. I work from home and have never once had a disruption so the reliability has been perfect. All my devices were able to connect without issue and I have about 78 total wireless devices across my 4000 square-foot house.
Even my devices that control sprinkler systems in my yard connect great. Until I get about 100 yards from my house (way in the backyard).
Meaning the compatibility and range are top-notch.
My Internet speed is only 1 gb at the moment, but I wanted something more future proof since my ISP has up to 10 available.
I definitely recommend this product and actually all of the deco mesh systems.

Finally Fixed the Dead Zones in My House
Size: 3 Pack, Style: Wi-Fi 7 BE5000
I bought this after getting tired of dealing with weak Wi-Fi in certain parts of the house, and the difference was noticeable almost immediately. Setup was much easier than I expected and only took a few minutes. Before installing it, video calls would freeze, pages would take forever to load, and some devices would randomly disconnect when moving farther from the router. Since adding this mesh extender, the connection has been much more consistent and I’m getting coverage in areas that barely had a signal before. I also like that devices seem to switch between the router and extender smoothly without me having to think about it. If you're struggling with dead spots or unreliable Wi-Fi, this has been a worthwhile upgrade.

Very outdoor. Outstanding outdoor Wi-Fi — perfect companion for Starlink (even in winter!
Size: 1 Pack Outdoor, Style: Wi-Fi 7 BE5000, Size: 1 Pack Outdoor, Style: Wi-Fi 7 BE5000
I’m using this as the main router at an off-grid cabin, connected directly to a Starlink Mini, and it has been phenomenal. The coverage and stability are far better than the built-in Starlink Wi-Fi router, especially outdoors and around multiple buildings.
This unit serves as the primary node in my network, with a few Deco M5 units extending the mesh, and the handoff between them is seamless. I’m getting reliable coverage over roughly 3 acres, including around the cabin, outbuildings, and yard — something the Starlink router couldn’t come close
It’s mounted outdoors and has gone through freezing winter conditions with snow, ice, and icicles forming around it — zero issues so far. Performance hasn’t dropped, and it’s stayed rock solid.
Setup was straightforward, management through the app is easy, and once it’s running you basically forget about it — which is exactly what i want.
If you’re running Starlink at a rural property, cabin, farm, or large yard, this is an excellent upgrade and easily worth it. Strong signal, wide coverage, and dependable even in harsh conditions.
Highly recommended..!.
