Acon Digital Equalize is a cutting-edge parametric equalizer plug-in designed for musicians, producers, and audio engineers who crave precision and flexibility in their sound-shaping tools. This versatile EQ stands out with its freely adjustable center frequency, gain, bandwidth, and filter slope for each band, offering an unparalleled level of control. Unlike traditional equalizers, Equalize introduces a unique mixed phase mode, allowing you to manage latency from 5 to 120 milliseconds, thereby minimizing pre-ringing artifacts typically associated with linear phase filtering.

The user interface is intuitive and interactive, featuring virtual handles to manipulate frequency response directly, along with a real-time analyzer for monitoring every detail of your audio processing. With the ability to switch between full, mid, side, left, or right channel processing for each band, Equalize ensures optimal audio routing and the lowest possible latency. Whether you're working in a studio or performing live, this tool adapts effortlessly to your workflow.

Key Features:

• Eight distinct band filter types: low cut, low shelf, peak, tilt, bandpass, notch, high shelf, and high cut
• Up to twelve independent bands for intricate sound shaping
• Freely adjustable gain, frequency, bandwidth, resonance, and filter slope
• Three phase modes: minimum phase, linear phase, and novel mixed phase with adjustable latency
• Zero latency in minimum phase mode
• Individual channel mode selection for each band (mid, side, left, right, or full processing)
• Resizable graphical user interface with solo and bypass modes
• Optional automatic make-up gain and gain-to-bandwidth linking
• Two spectrum analyzers for input and output signal analysis
• Comprehensive preset manager with a large selection of factory presets and the ability to save, load, and categorize user presets
• Supports sampling rates up to 96 kHz and multi-channel formats such as 5.1 and 7.1 surround
• Available for Windows and macOS, supporting VST, VST3, AAX, and AU formats
