Pulsar MP-EQ is designed and built to complement Pulsar Audio's variable-bias compressor plugin, Pulsar VM-COMP. This powerful combo already constitutes a complete mastering chain that allows a musical and colourful control of the spectrum and dynamics. Take your mix even further and give it warmth and colour while remaining transparent.
MP-EQ
A Different Equalizing Experience
Pulsar MP-EQ is an emulation of a legendary analog EQ found in almost every mastering studio worldwide. Designed as a synthesis of the best passive equalizers of the past 70 years, its fully parallel topology offers a unique and musical frequency response compared to digital EQs with the same settings. Because of this design, the bands naturally interact, producing a more musical overall response.
Its entirely passive circuit, featuring custom hand-wound inductors, tubes, and transformers, delivers creamy highs, balanced mids, and organic warmth through magnetic saturation. Pulsar MP-EQ faithfully recreates every sonic detail of the original hardware while adding modern features like visual curve editing, drive control, linear phase mode, or auto-gain.
Features
- Visual curve editing
- Mid-Side processing
- Oversampling
- Metering & Spectrum analyser
- Drive control
- Auto-gain
- Transformer
- Smart GUI
VM-COMP
An Industry-standard Tube Compressor
Variable-bias tube compressors deliver smooth, transparent gain control, and naturally “glue” buses, mixes, and masters together.
Unfortunately, the original hardware is expensive and difficult to integrate with in-the-box workflows. Software emulations exist, but most owners of the hardware agree that they cannot be compared to the original unit, as there’s always “something” missing.
With its unique Topology Preservation Technology, Pulsar VM-COMP sounds objectively identical to the hardware in every production context, but also introduces improvements such as visual sidechain EQ editing and extended timing ranges.
Features
- Topology Preserving Technology
- External Sidechain
- Mid-Side Processing
- Look Ahead, Look Behind
- Flexible Sidechain Equalizer
- Low CPU Consumption

"This eq is incredibly cool! It gives you the vibe and sonics of an analog EQ, but you can also control it like a modern slick digital EQ, taking full advantage of the digital power!"
Maor Applebaum
"With Pulsar VM-COMP, you have the sound of the glue that you hear from the well-known variable-bias compressor, in a plug-in form with added controls and flexible side-chaining."
Andrei Lepori
"Pulsar MP-EQ gives a whole new and more modern appeal to the sound even when used in the more ‘traditional’ boost/cut way"
