VEQ-4K PINK

Description

Overview

The VEQ-4K Pink by Antelope Audio is a faithful digital recreation of a legendary four-band channel strip EQ module from a game-changing British console of the late 1980s. Designed to bring vintage punch and warm sound-shaping capabilities to the modern studio, this plugin captures the essence of high-end analog hardware that remains a favorite among professional audio engineers across generations.

This specific “Pink” revision is distinguished by its expanded capabilities compared to other versions in the series, offering a wider frequency range and an extended boost/cut gain range of +/- 20 dB. It features the signature proportional gain settings and HF/LF shelving characterized by a unique “dip and bump” combo immediately preceding the shelf boost and cut, providing a sophisticated tonal character to any track.

Available in both Native and Synergy Core formats, the VEQ-4K Pink allows users to choose between running the plugin directly within their DAW on a Mac or PC, or utilizing the real-time processing power of compatible Synergy Core devices to eliminate perceptible latency during recording and mixing.

Use Cases

The VEQ-4K Pink is ideal for engineers seeking the “expensive” sound of vintage British consoles without the massive hardware footprint. It is particularly effective for adding warmth and weight to drums, polishing vocals with its precise shelving filters, or shaping the mid-range of guitars and synthesizers to sit perfectly in a mix. Because of its extended gain range, it is also an excellent tool for corrective EQ tasks that still require a musical, analog-style response.
