VEQ-55A

Description

Overview

The VEQ-55A by Antelope Audio is a versatile three-band equalizer designed to bring edge, energy, and clarity to any instrument or audio source. Inspired by the legendary EQ module of one of the most iconic mixing consoles used in rock music history, this plugin is engineered to preserve the genre-defining sound that has remained in demand for over 50 years.

Whether you need to emphasize the tiny details missing from your mix or gently attenuate problematic frequencies, the VEQ-55A provides a precise and musical solution. It offers reciprocal equalization across five fixed frequency points per band, with five steps of boost or cut, allowing for a maximum gain of 12 dB.

Use Cases

The VEQ-55A is an ideal tool for engineers looking to add “meat” and character to their tracks.
