The Apogee Electronics EQP-1A is a Pultec program equalizer plug-in that combines the sound of Pultec's legendary EQP-1A hardware equalizer with multiple power, routing, and monitoring modes.
It can be powered by your computer's CPU without Apogee hardware or via DSP on the Apogee Element Series or Ensemble Thunderbolt audio interfaces (sold separately), making it ideal for producers, beatmakers, and audio engineers with mobile setups or desktop-based systems. studio.
When used with qualified Apogee hardware, it enables real-time printing through Apogee Control Software or low-latency monitoring when linked to a mirrored instance in your DAW.
Licensed and endorsed by Pulse Techniques, this plug-in has been painstakingly modeled after a Pulse Pultec EQP-1A hardware unit to deliver its renowned EQ curves and non-linearities. Each of the two bands has 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 let you view and manage the gain stage.
EQP-1A Features:
- Precisely recreates the unique characteristics of the Pultec EQP-1A
- Wide EQ curves let you shape tone smoothly and powerfully
- Interaction of EQ bands creates curves used by engineers for decades
- Recreates the nonlinearities of the analog EQP-1A circuit
- Officially licensed and endorsed by Pulse Techniques, maker of the new Pultec EQP-1A used to model the Apogee plug-in
- Runs on native CPU power or via Apogee hardware DSP on Element Series and Ensemble Thunderbolt audio interfaces
- Two-band EQ with separate boost and attenuation controls per band
- Bandwidth control from sharp to wide
- 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
FX Rack Features:
- 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 effects directly to the Apogee hardware input - open the FX Rack in Apogee Control, apply the desired processing, then record - the FX processing is printed to the DAW track
- DualPath Monitoring Mode: When you open a native Apogee FX Rack in your DAW (and link it to an Apogee hardware input), a parallel FX Rack is automatically opened in the low-latency monitoring path; changes made to any of the plug-ins are instantly mirrored to maintain a consistent sound
- Large input and output meters
- Dedicated input and output faders
