- Equipped with active low-pass and high-pass variable filters, which can be completely bypassed as needed.
- Offers flexible control via DAW/Live plug-in for quick and effortless recall settings.
- Dual output design, featuring both a Tube and Carnhill transformer with an IRON PAD, alongside an electronically balanced option.
- Includes adjustable Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) control for tailored sound dynamics.
- Choice of Proportional Q or Constant Q for versatile equalization shaping.
- The equalizer's operational range can be set to either moderate (-5dB to 5dB) or extended (-15dB to 15dB) levels.
100% analog Tube Equalizer
ngTubeEQ is a 100% analog processing unit with 26dBu of headroom. Regardless of its full digital control, the analog signal path provides full amazing analog processing.
Heart of the unit = Passive section
Fully passive EQ section we all love, based on custom inductors.
3 Modes of operation
Dual, stereo and mid-side (M/S).
Carnhill transformers
Transformers in audio compressors aren’t just for electrical isolation – they can add a warm, sonic saturation we all love in our recordings. Carnhill transformers are part of the ngTubeEq adding all that vintage flavor!
Hardware A/B/C buttons to compare two independent settings
Even using ngTubeEQ as a pure analog signal processor you can easily switch between three parallel settings with the magic of a simple button.
