Featuring the EQP-1A program equalizer and the MEQ-5 midrange equalizer, the Apogee Electronics Pultec Bundle offers two powerful sound equalization tools at a substantial savings over purchasing them separately. Pulse Techniques, the manufacturer of the highly desired Pultec hardware units, has officially licensed and endorsed these plug-ins, which are modeled from authentic new Pultec analog EQs. An Apogee interface is not required, but Ensemble and Element users can run the plug-ins on Apogee's FX Rack system for additional benefits.
Apogee Electronics EQP-1A is a Pultec program equalizer plug-in merging the sound of the legendary EQP-1A hardware equalizer with multiple powering, routing, and monitoring modes. It can be powered by your computer's CPU without Apogee hardware, or via the DSP in Apogee Element Series or Ensemble Thunderbolt audio interfaces (available separately), making it ideal for producers, beatmakers, and audio engineers with mobile rigs or studio-based systems. When used with qualified Apogee hardware, it allows real-time printing through the Apogee Control Software, or low-latency monitoring while linked to a mirrored instance in your DAW.
Licensed and endorsed by Pulse Techniques, this plug-in was thoroughly modeled from a Pulse Pultec EQP-1A hardware unit to provide its renowned EQ curves and nonlinearities. Each of the two bands features frequency selection and separate controls for boost and attenuation. When the EQP-1A is used in Apogee's FX Rack, large I/O meters and dedicated input and output faders allow you to view and manage your gain staging.
- Precisely recreates the unique characteristics of the Pultec EQP-1A
- Broad EQ curves allow gentle and powerful tone shaping
- Interaction of EQ bands creates curves used by engineers for decades
- Recreates circuit nonlinearities of the analog EQP-1A
- Officially licensed and endorsed by Pulse Techniques, the manufacturer of the new Pultec EQP-1A used to model the Apogee plug-in
- Runs on native CPU power or via Apogee hardware DSP in Element Series and Ensemble Thunderbolt audio interfaces
- Two bands of EQ with separate per-band boost and attenuation knobs
- Sharp to broad bandwidth control
- Low-frequency selector at 20/30/60/100 Hz
- High-frequency selector at 3/4/5/8/10/12/16 kHz
- High-frequency attenuation selector at 5/10/20 kHz
- Native Mode: Use Apogee FX Rack plug-ins like any standard native plug-in in your Mac-based DAW without Apogee hardware connected
- Print Mode: Apply Apogee FX directly to the Apogee hardware input—open the FX Rack in Apogee Control, apply the desired processing, then record—FX processing is printed to your DAW track
- DualPath Monitor Mode: Upon opening a native Apogee FX Rack in your DAW (and linking it to an Apogee hardware input), a parallel FX Rack is automatically opened in the low-latency monitoring path; changes made in either plug-in are instantly mirrored to maintain a consistent sound
- Large input and output meters
- Dedicated input and output faders
- Supports AAX Native, Audio Units, VST, and VST2 plug-in formats
- Compatible with macOS and Windows systems
Apogee Electronics MEQ-5 is an FX Rack Pultec midrange equalizer plug-in merging the sound of the legendary MEQ-5 hardware equalizer with multiple powering, routing, and monitoring modes. It can be powered by your computer's CPU without Apogee hardware, or via the DSP in Apogee Element Series or Ensemble Thunderbolt audio interfaces (available separately), making it ideal for producers, beatmakers, and audio engineers with mobile rigs or studio-based systems. When used with qualified Apogee hardware, it allows real-time printing through the Apogee Control Software, or low-latency monitoring while linked to a mirrored instance in your DAW.
Licensed and endorsed by Pulse Techniques, this plug-in was thoroughly modeled from a Pulse Pultec MEQ-5 hardware unit to provide its renowned EQ curves and nonlinearities. Two bands feature frequency selection with boost control while the third is for attenuation. When the MEQ-5 is used in Apogee's FX Rack, large I/O meters and dedicated input and output faders allow you to view and manage your gain staging.
