551 Inductor EQ

The rich, vintage-style EQ from RND’s flagship Shelford Channel.

The 551 Inductor EQ Plug-in is a faithful recreation of the legendary hardware released by Rupert Neve Designs in 2014. Featuring 3 bands of EQ inspired by Mr. Neve’s most prized vintage designs, the 551 can deliver thick & powerful lows, musical mids and sweet highs to any source. The 551 plug-in achieves this familiar, colorful sound by meticulously modeling the custom-wound inductors, transformers and class-A gain blocks found in the hardware. The plug-in also includes several new features, including true M/S processing and input/output metering.

Features

• 3-band EQ originally developed for the Shelford Channel and inspired by RND's favorite elements of Rupert’s vintage EQ designs
• Low frequency band produces a creamy, resonant bass response similar to a vintage 1064, but with the flexibility of Shelf or Peak operation
• Midrange band is inspired by a classic 1073, ideal for sweetening vocals and instruments while bringing them forward in a mix
• High frequency band is modeled after the hybrid vintage / modern design of the hardware, which blends inductor circuitry with capacitor-based topologies to achieve vintage tones with enhanced control
• The High Pass filter is a 12dB/octave design with a fixed 80Hz frequency, and can be used in tandem with the low frequency EQ to add low-end presence without clouding the source material
