Enjoy the smooth warmth of a 100% analog signal path and the convenience of digital control with the Next-Generation Tube EQ from WesAudio, a 4-band tube-driven EQ with an impressive 26 dBu of headroom. Sporting the option for complete DAW control via plug-in and automation, ngTubeEQ provides an innovative hybrid workflow.The ngTubeEQ is loaded with comprehensive control functions, including selectable 5 (-5 to 5) and 15 (-15 to 15) dB operational ranges. Three further operation modes include dual mono, stereo, and mid-side processing. Hardware memory settings let you make quick and easy A/B/C comparisons during mixing. And with digital I/O like USB and Ethernet, you can control your analog processing directly from your DAW and even record automation into your DAW via the touch-sensitive encoders.Four Passive Bands Based on custom inductors, the EQ bands are fully passive and offer comprehensive sound sculpting:12 frequency points per bandEach band can be easily disabledVariable Q configuration22 Hz to 28 kHz frequency rangeEach band supports bell and shelf configurationsLow- and High-Pass Filters Active circuit12 or 24 dB per octave slopesWhole circuit is bypassable on analog levelVariable controlCarnhill Transformers and Output Modes 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. This unit also sports a dual-output design, featuring both a tube and Carnhill transformer with an Iron Pad, alongside an electronically balanced option.Green: electronically balanced for a cleaner and punchier sound with less sonic imprintRed: tube amplification stage, this mode provides a transformer-balanced output stage with Iron Pad, allowing you to raise the output of the unit and hit the tube amp stage and transformer section harder while maintaining the same output signal through the passive attenuation segmentTHD Control Proprietary harmonic distortion circuitEntirely bypassable through an analog relayVariable control with 100 stepsIntegrated with the internal gain structure to add inductor-based saturationProportional and Constant Q This EQ features unique Q settings, making it a rare EQ with both constant and variable Q implementations:Proportional Q is often described as being very musical. The more you boost gain the more narrow the EQ becomes.Constant Q offers more precision and is often preferred by professionals for enhanced control over source material. This option doesn't alter the Q of a particular band while the gain is modified.Total Recall and Control Plug-In ngTubeEQ supports direct USB connection or network integration via Ethernet for versatile setup options.Full control and instant recall via DAW plug-inSupport of all common plug-in formats and DAWsCompletely new GUI engine and intuitive UX designAll parameters are accessible from the sweet spotInteractive LCD display with real-time parameter editing, linked to DAW meteringIntegrated high-precision metering from 0 to 26 dBu with clip detectionUnlimited number of categorized presets
