Description
Modeled on the highly sought-after 1081 console module, the V-EQ4 equalizer features detailed high frequency boosts plus High Pass and Low Pass Filters to deliver the real sound of vintage gear.
Vintage analog EQs were often designed to shape tone, compared to today’s “surgical” EQs that are more about fixing problems. The V-EQ4, modeled after the Neve 1081, embodies the transition between these two philosophies vintage sound, yet evolving to greater control and precision. Two 10-position midrange controls (with Hi-Q buttons), variable high and low-frequency shelving, and high and lowpass filters provide the versatility needed to both shape and fix sounds.
Rich 70s Sound, Modern Functionality
You no longer need to choose between vintage sound or precision: the V-EQ4 is flexible enough to handle today’s mixes, but with the warmth, sparkle, and rich sound that makes mixes from the 70s hold up even today.
Tried and True Tweaking
The 20 midrange frequencies with Hi-Q option, high and low shelving with 5 corner frequencies (and optional bell response), and 5 highpass and 5 lowpass filters were deliberately chosen for maximum musicality.
Classic Instrument Character
One of the hallmarks of the 70s sound was hearing each instrument clearly in the mix. The V-EQ4’s detailed EQ lets each instrument claim its own part of the frequency spectrum, to deliver dazzling definition.
Turn Virtual Consoles into Analog Ones
Enable the Analog button to retain the modeled analog sound, even with EQ bypassed. To mix through a console with analog character, add a V-EQ4 to each channel, and enjoy the sound of analog mixing.
