Introducing the VSPE: Vacuum Stereo Passive Equalizer
The VSPE is a breakthrough in audio engineering, combining the timeless warmth of vacuum tube technology with the precision of digital recall. Years of meticulous development and testing have culminated in a product that promises to revolutionize your sound.
Drawing on our expertise in Grammy award-winning studio processors, we’ve crafted a fully analog passive equalizer featuring original vacuum tube and transformer circuitry. But we didn’t stop there. We’ve integrated our own handcrafted audio transformers from Bettermaker, ensuring unparalleled quality and performance.
Passive equalizers are renowned for their ability to impart a round, warm bottom end and an airy high-frequency range. Now, imagine enhancing that richness with the unmistakable character of vacuum tubes and transformers. That’s the essence of HEAT, our signature sound.
With our innovative design, you can effortlessly balance between pristine vacuum tube transparency and the lush saturation of tubes and transformers with the press of a button. And thanks to seamless integration with our plugin and DAW, you can recall and automate settings with ease.
Speaking of plugins, our new VSPE plugin takes versatility to new heights. Not only can you recall and automate all parameters within your DAW, but you can also audition high and low frequencies independently. Plus, with stereo and dual-mono modes at your fingertips, the possibilities are endless.
But we didn’t stop there. Our plugin features a mastering-grade digital high-pass and low pass filters, perfect for sculpting your low and high end with precision.
Whether you’re recording, tracking, producing, mixing, or mastering, the VSPE offers unparalleled flexibility and sonic character in a single, elegant package. Experience the best of both worlds with the VSPE: where vintage warmth meets cutting-edge technology.
