A versatile equaliser that lets you choose one of seven console characters for each of its seven bands – analog tone with surgical ability.

Five parametric bands, two of them switchable to shelving, can each use one of seven curve characteristics based on acclaimed UK and US consoles – three vintage, two modern and two digital – while two further bands handle high and low pass filtering. The analog profiles include variable hiss, hum and THD, which adds the characteristic sparkle of analog consoles and subtly widens the soundstage. Process left and right or mid and sides independently, use the virtual keyboard to match a band’s frequency to a specific note, and check the result on the real-time spectrum analyser with freeze and peak hold.
