Gyratec-IX is a dual tube mic preamp plugin from Antelope Audio that adds analog-style amplification to any sound source. It is designed for use while recording or mixing.
Gyratec-IX is a preamp plugin built around a tube-based signal path, aimed at producers who want analog warmth on tracks and mixes. Antelope Audio describes it as a recreation of a hardware dual-channel microphone preamp with all-tube, high-gain, transformer-balanced design. The plugin is offered for Windows and macOS, and it fits both tracking and mixing sessions.
Gyratec-IX uses a variable-gain tube input with an SRPP output stage. Antelope Audio says the goal is to preserve the sound of the original analog-only signal path.
Gain controls how much tube coloration you hear. With the gain set low, the signal stays close to clean. Raising the gain adds harmonic saturation, and you can then lower the output level to keep the overall level in check.
The interface is laid out for quick use. Input and output level switches let you balance the level going into and out of the preamp.
A high pass filter removes low-frequency content, and a phase invert switch flips the polarity of the signal. These two tools are useful when you are cleaning up a recording or lining up sources in a mix.
