Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
This Shakmat HiPass is a clever little module for anyone wanting to clean up low-end muddiness or subtly sculpt the mid-range. It's not a replacement for a full-blown state-variable filter, but it's a surprisingly effective and affordable way to add some clarity and character to your modular sound. Perfect for ambient soundscapes or tightening up basslines.
Product Description

- Section 1 & 2: 30 Hz (-18 dB/oct.)
- Section 3 & 4: 100 Hz (-18 dB/oct.)
- Input and output per section
- Current consumption: 15 mA (+12 V) / 15 mA (-12 V)
- Width: 2 HP
- Depth: 40 mm
PROS
- • Dual-stage filtering provides unique, nuanced tonal shaping possibilities.
- • Compact 2HP footprint maximizes space in dense modular setups.
- • Distinct frequency ranges per section offer flexible routing options.
- • Shakmat's typical robust build quality ensures long-term reliability.
CONS
- • Limited frequency range compared to broader, multi-mode filters.
- • 15mA current draw, while reasonable, can add up in large systems.
- • Lacks resonance control, restricting feedback and screaming textures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you could potentially create a bandpass effect by chaining this with a low-pass filter, but it would require careful routing and experimentation.
The sections are independent, each with its own input and output, allowing for parallel or serial processing without any internal linking.
While it lacks resonance, the dual-stage filtering and distinct frequency ranges can still be used creatively to shape sounds, although it won't provide the characteristic 'screaming' filter response.
