Description

Meet the Antelope Audio Gyratec-XIV, a digital homage to the classic passive stereo tube EQ, revered by audio purists and professionals alike. Inspired by the legendary Pultec design, this EQ plugin brings you the authentic sound of vintage analog warmth but with the modern flexibility of digital precision. The Gyratec-XIV is more than just a plugin; it’s a versatile sonic tool that excels in both mastering and detailed frequency sculpting.

The Gyratec-XIV stands out with its innovative variable Q setting. When you boost a frequency band, the Q is broad, adding richness and depth. Conversely, when cutting, the Q narrows dramatically, allowing for precise surgical adjustments that can remove problematic frequencies with pinpoint accuracy. This unique behavior makes it equally adept at enhancing mixes or providing focused corrections.

Whether you're working on a stereo mix or individual tracks, the Gyratec-XIV’s parallel filter topology subtly enhances the stereo field, creating more space without introducing phase distortion. Now you can infuse your productions with the lush character and depth of hardware EQs while enjoying the convenience of a plugin.

Key Features:

  • Faithful digital recreation of a classic passive EQ design
  • Variable Q setting for precise frequency control
  • Suitable for both mastering and surgical applications
  • Subtle stereo widening effect for mix bus applications
  • Available as a native plugin or Synergy Core real-time version
  • Compatible with any DAW or audio interface
