Waves Audio GEQ Graphic Equalizer Plugin Now Available
TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, April 25, 2013 — Waves Audio announces the availability of its new GEQ graphic equalizer plugin. Developed primarily for live users (but sure to find a home in the studio as well), Waves GEQ is a full-featured graphic equalizer plugin with both Classic and Modern mono and stereo components, featuring 30 ISO bands plus high and low pass filters, a high precision floating parametric EQ bell filter, and a real-time analyzer.
GEQ Classic components use traditional proportional Q filters inspired by the renowned DN series 1/3 octave equalizers, which narrow the filter width as you increase a band’s gain; GEQ Modern components utilize special Flat-Top filters, which eliminate the artifacts associated with band interaction, and provide perfect plateau and stair-stepped responses. Users can set band gains one-by-one, or draw their curve via touch-screen or mouse. Finally, GEQ’s integrated real-time analyzer lets users compare the difference between two sources.
Features:
- 30 ISO bands with selectable 6, 12 & 18 dB scales
- Independent HPF, LPF and parametric bells per side
- Classic component with Proportional Q filters
- Modern component with non-interactive Flat-Top filters
- Real-time analyzer
- Zero latency
Controls:
GRAPHIC EQ SECTION
- SCALE controls the maximum range of GEQ faders.
- Q functions as a multiplier for the proportional Q algorithm.
- ISO FADERS control the gain of selected frequency centers.
- DRAG selects the method of setting the band faders.
- LINK relatively links left and right channels, including all bands, high and low pass filters, floating Parametric Bell EQ and Master Gain settings.
- FLAT snaps all bands to 0 dB.
FLOATING PARAMETRIC EQ SECTION
- HP activates the high pass filter.
- HP FREQUENCY sets the cutoff frequency of the high pass filter.
- LP activates the low pass filter.
- LP FREQUENCY sets the cutoff frequency of the low pass filter.
- PARAMETRIC BELL activates the floating parametric bell filter.
- PARAMETRIC BELL FREQUENCY sets the cutoff frequency of the floating parametric bell filter.
- PARAMETRIC BELL GAIN controls the gain of the floating parametric bell filter.
- PARAMETRIC BELL Q determines the width of the floating parametric bell filter.
- MASTER GAIN controls the output level of the entire plugin.
ANALYZER SECTION
- GRAPHIC DISPLAY / ANALYZER show the EQ curve, RTA1 and RTA2 input RMS frequency responses and the Difference between them.
- INPUT METER displays input level (peak) in dBFS.
- OUTPUT METER displays output level (peak) in dBFS.
- RTA1 assigns the first input to the real-time analyzer.
- RTA2 assigns the second input to the real-time analyzer.
- DIFFERENCE mode turns off the real-time analyzer and displays the difference in frequency response between RTA1 and RTA2.
CALIBRATION MODE
- CALIB activates the Calibration mode which calibrates the analyzer.
- RTA1 & RTA2 FADERS are used to adjust and match the analyzer input levels.
- RTA RESPONSE sets the response time of the analyzer.
- RTA1 DELAY sets the alignment of RTA1 to RTA2.
The GEQ Graphic Equalizer Plugin is now available with a U.S. MSRP of $200.00, with a special introductory price of $99.00. Visit www.waves.com and www.waveslive.com for more information.
