BAE-1084 is an EQ plugin from Antelope Audio, modeled on a classic vintage console channel strip EQ. It offers parametric high- and low-pass filters, mid and shelving bands, and a Hi-Q switch for narrowing the mid band.
BAE-1084 is an equalizer plugin built around the signal flow of a vintage console channel strip EQ. Antelope Audio based the design on the BAE 1084 hardware and its Carnhill transformers, aiming to reproduce the original behavior as faithfully as possible. The plugin is positioned for shaping low-end weight in bass drums, guitars and synth bass lines, with a focus on precise, adjustable frequency control. It runs natively on macOS and Windows.
Antelope Audio describes the BAE-1084 as a channel strip EQ with massive lows and smooth highs. The developer notes that the plugin's frequency range is wide, so you can make broad tonal changes or small, targeted adjustments.
The mid band is designed to allow boosts at lower frequencies without adding mud, according to the developer. Its Hi-Q button narrows the mid band for more focused cuts and boosts.
The BAE-1084 provides a high-pass filter with selectable points at 45Hz, 70Hz, 160Hz and 360Hz, and a low-pass filter at 6kHz, 8kHz, 10kHz, 14kHz and 18kHz.
The mid band offers six center frequencies from 350Hz to 7.2kHz. The high band works in shelving mode at 10kHz, 12kHz or 16kHz. Together these bands cover the typical needs of cleaning up low frequencies, shaping the body of a sound and adding air at the top.
