03In depth

Sound and Character of the VEQ-432C EQ

The developer describes the VEQ-432C as subtle at first, with no obvious drive or coloration. With more use, the plugin's character becomes more apparent, and Antelope Audio says it is designed to add polish to a mix that already sounds good.

The three-band parametric layout is built around the sound of the 1960s original, which the developer presents as the reference for this type of mastering equalization. Users can apply it across a full mix or to single tracks where a bump or cut is needed.

Controls, Workflow and Platform Support

The VEQ-432C uses a small, direct set of controls, which makes it quick to set up on a bus or channel. Because each of the three bands is parametric, you can adjust frequency, gain and bandwidth on each one.

The plugin is available for macOS and Windows. A native version runs on a standard computer without extra hardware. A Synergy Core Real-Time version is also offered and runs on compatible Synergy Core devices with no perceptible latency.
