Reference 1956 Equalizer

Broad strokes, big tone.

The low-end trick is a classic, but it’s not the only trick that has kept this type of passive EQ popular 70 years on. The minimum-phase passive design and extreme musicality make them great for broad strokes and big tones. Cuts and boosts are carried out with resistors, capacitors, and chokes, as opposed to op-amps or transistors. Just pure passive electronics and a beautiful tube amp stage on the output.

Our plug-in version is based on modern hardware that adds stereo functionality and more frequency selections while staying true to the nature of the original design. We added Headroom control within our Extended Features panel to exaggerate the thick low-end character of the transformers, plus built-in Mid/Side functionality, and separate gain controls for the two channels.

Features

• Authentically captured, classic passive equalizing
• A modern, musical minimum-phase passive EQ
• Stereo functionality
• Additional frequency selections
• Headroom control
• Mid/Side functionality
• Separate gain controls for each channel
• Console 1 Ready

Reference 1998 Equalizer

Massively musical and organic.

The list of gear that can truly be considered modern classics is short. Despite that, we're confident in saying that the inspiration for this plug-in undoubtedly makes the cut.

The original design is sophisticated. It features four passive, parallel EQ bands that each impart an unmistakable warmth and subtle saturation that's coupled with a tube stage offering superb headroom. The masterstroke, however, is its shelving filters. The shelving filters go from wide and smooth to a colorful unique shape that instantaneously gels with a mix and gives you color that’s, simply put, massive.

Features

• Authentically captured modern classic tube equalizing
• Four passive, parallel EQ bands for warmth and saturation
• Shelving filters with built-in “low end trick” shelving curves
• Massively colorful and great for broad strokes
• Ideal for mastering and mixing
• Console 1 Ready
