  Offers flexible control via DAW/Live plug-in for quick and effortless recall settings.
• Dual output design, featuring both a Tube and Carnhill transformer with an IRON PAD, alongside an electronically balanced option.
• Includes adjustable Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) control for tailored sound dynamics.
• Choice of Proportional Q or Constant Q for versatile equalization shaping.
• The equalizer's operational range can be set to either moderate (-5dB to 5dB) or extended (-15dB to 15dB) levels.
  
  

ANALOG SOUND, DIGITAL CONTROL

True ANALOG sound with extremely convenient control!

100% analog Tube Equalizer

• ngTubeEQ is a 100% analog processing unit with 26dBu of headroom
• Regardless of its full digital control, the analog signal path provides full amazing analog processing.
  
  

Heart of the unit = Passive section

• Fully passive EQ section we all love.
• Based on custom inductors.
  
  

4 Passive bands

• 12 frequency points per band.
• Each band can be easily disabled.
• Variable Q configuration.
• Total frequency range from 22Hz to 28kHz.
• Each band supports Bell or Shelf configuration.
  
  

LPF & HPF Active filters

• Active circuit.
• 12dB/Oct or 24dB/Oct slope.
• Whole circuit is fully bypassable on analog level.
• Variable control.
  
  

3 Modes of operation

• DUAL
• STEREO
• MID-SIDE
  
  

Carnhill transformers

Transformers in audio compressors aren’t just for electrical isolation – they can add a warm, sonic saturation we all love in our recordings. Carnhill transformers are part of the ngTubeEq adding all that vintage flavor!

Total recall and control plugin

• Unit implements full control and instant recall via DAW plug-in.
• Support of all common plug-in formats and Digital Audio Workstations.
• Completely new GUI engine and Intuitive UX design.
• All parameters are accessible from the sweetspot.
  
  

Selectable output stage

• GREEN – Electronically balanced for cleaner and punchy sound with less sonic imprint.
• RED – Tube amplification stage, transformer balanced output stage with IRON PAD – this architecture allows to raise the output of the unit and hit the Tube Amplification stage and transformer section harder, while maintaining the same output signal through passive attenuation section.
  
  

Hardware A/B/C buttons to compare two independent settings

Even using ngTubeEQ as a pure analog signal processor you can easily switch between three parallel settings with the magic of a simple button.

THD – total harmonic distortion

• Proprietary Harmonic distortion circuit.
• Entirely bypassable through analog relay.
• Variable control with 100 steps.
• Integrated with internal gain structure to add inductor- based saturation.
  
  

Propotional and Constant Q

• Proportional Q became part of many other EQ designs often described as being very musical – technically the more You boost the more narrow Q becomes.
• Constant Q is on the other hand much more precise and very often desired by professional users to gain more control over the source material – this option doesn’t alter the Q of a particular band while gain is modified.
  
  

5dB/15dB Gain Mode

• ngTubeEQ gains for each band can work either in 5dB or 15dB mode:
• 5dB ~0.1dB step
• 15dB ~ 0.25 dB step
  
  

Plugin Integrated metering

Precise Plugin metering from 0dBu to 26dBu with clip detection.

• Interactive LCD Display: Real-Time Parameter Editing
• Integrated high precision metering
  
  

Plug-in presets database

• Plug-in of course features an unlimited number of presets.
• Those presets can be categorized for user presets.
• And we will also deliver units with some factory presets.
