Get the warm, analog sound of classic Pultec EQs in your DAW with the Pultec Passive EQ Collection Plug-In from Universal Audio. The software offers meticulous recreations of three legendary rackmount units that studio engineers have used on countless mixes. Sculpt fat and punchy bass, synths, and drums with the EQP1A. Experience rich midrange textures on your guitars, vocals, and keys with the MEQ5. Create retro filter effects or reduce unwanted frequencies with surgical precision using the HLF3C. With painstakingly modeled amplifier sections now onboard, the Pultec EQ Collection breathes like the original hardware.

Use the EQs to tailor frequencies on individual tracks or buses, or give your master channel that signature airy, smooth-as-silk vintage tone. The Pultecs accel at making difficult-to-isolate instruments and vocals breathtakingly clear without affecting neighboring frequencies. Add subtle analog shading to your tracks by just passing the signal though or push the Pultec's fully modeled transformer and tube-based amplifier sections for added grit. This plug-in software download includes a native version that will run on Mac and Windows computers without UA hardware as well as a second version that runs accelerated on Apollo interfaces and UAD-2 hardware.

Going far beyond all other Pultec-style EQ plug-ins, the Pultec Passive EQ Collection gives your productions the rich, musical sound of the ultrarare vintage hardware—the culmination of the world’s most intensive modeling research.

Make confident broadstroke EQ moves and get the vibiest low-end you've ever heard. From bass guitar and synth bass to kick drums, you'll be amazed at the tight, focused thump, with the twist of a couple knobs. The Pultec EQP-1A's signature effect, unintended by its designers, is its ability to seemingly boost and cut the same frequency simultaneously. In reality, the filters actually alter adjacent frequencies, but the naturally interactive resonant dip has an amazing boosting and tightening effect—especially on bass guitar and kick drums.

The MEQ-5 Mid-Range Equalizer is the richly colorful tube-amplified companion to the EQP-1A. With two bands of midrange boost and one band of midrange dip, the MEQ-5 gets the very best out of the power region where guitars and vocals can make or break a mix. The unique band overlap and filter interaction unleash the vibrancy of these instruments in the track—without fighting your overall mix.

The never-before-available HLF-3C completes the Pultec Passive EQ Collection and features 12 dB per octave low- and high-cut filters, for broad retro-tonal sculpting or bygone-era special effects. With just two controls, the HLF-3C will give you vintage, lo-fi effects on your vocals and instruments, or let you surgically remove troublesome frequencies like excessive hiss and rumble that can build up and muddy your mixes.

In developing the Pultec EQ Collection, UA commissioned some of the biggest names in the business to develop custom presets. Check out John Paterno's (Steve Gadd, The Black Crowes, Bonnie Raitt) Clear, Big-Body Acoustic, and his U-47 and U-67 settings. Also, demo Jacknife Lee's (The Cars, U2, Taylor Swift) Drum Buss Earth and Air, and Acoustic Guitar Tamer.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Two questions: 1 how does this device get energy? - 2: if I connect a Sennheiser transmitter to a soundboard, I can connect the receiver to the Saramonic SR-AX101 to convert the line signal and then the Saramonic to my DSLR to get the sound?.

A: The Saramonic SR-AX101 is a passive device (no battery or power is required to function) for routing one or more audio signals to a camera. The mics you connect will need to be powered independently. The Sennheiser wireless system is self-powered, so it can be used with the SR-AX101. If you are only connecting one audio signal to the camera, you could connect the Sennheiser receiver directly to your camera. Please feel free to contact us if you would like further assistance.

Q: 2. Looking to use interface for phone interviews for radio broadcast and recording. I notice the XLR port is not standard...will this call for an adapter or different cable?

A: Hi. I have one of these units. May I ask, what you mean by not standard? What connector do you need? There is a 3 pin female XLR for audio into the unit and a 3 pin male XLR for audio out of the unit. They are below the keypad.

Q: 5. The Kopul version of this had a cold shoe mount that was terrible adn would disassemble in the field when the screw fell out of the bottom from too much stress of mounting receivers on it. Does this product suffer the same problem?

A: I worked with Saramonic for 2-years and that whole time, I have not seen any defects of this product, or heard of an issue like you describe. I also have 2 in my possession for those 2-years and had no issue. My best suggestion is to try the item for yourself and if it's not up to your standards, return it for a refund or another product. We also offer a one-year warranty for full replacement if there's any problem. I think you're going to be happy with the product.

Q: 6. Does this work with the Rode VideoMic GO Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone?
