AEQ1

American Console Equalizer Algorithm

With their symmetrical curves and smooth proportional Q characteristics, the secret ingredient of the legendary LA sound is the discrete channel equalizer modules designed in the late 1960s. The AEQ1 Algorithm accurately and efficiently simulates the earlier version of these modules in the digital domain with its meticulously designed topology.




Key Features


  • Extremely High Processing Efficiency.
  • Supports sampling frequencies up to 384 kHz.
  • Clickless parameter update.
  • Proprietary topology which is optimized for low latency, low noise and high dynamic range.
  • Supports both 32 bit (single precision) and 64 bit (double precision) floating-point processing.
  • Built-in reference-quality upsampling algorithm which can be enabled at sampling frequencies 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz to achieve bell shape symmetry at high frequencies.
  • Clearly and concisely implemented in pure C++: portable to any platform that is supported by a C++ compiler.

Specifications


AEQ1 American Console Equalizer Algorithm features three bands and a band-pass filter which have the following specifications:

  • Low Frequency Shelving/Peaking: Selectable filter type: Shelving or Peaking. Five selectable center frequencies: 50Hz, 100Hz, 200Hz, 300Hz and 400Hz. The amount of boost or attenuation is continuously variable from -12 dB to 12 dB.

  • Mid Frequency Peaking: Five selectable center frequencies: 400Hz, 800Hz, 1.5kHz, 3kHz and 5kHz. The amount of boost or attenuation is continuously variable from -12 dB to 12 dB.

  • High Frequency Shelving/Peaking: Selectable filter type: Shelving or Peaking. Five selectable center frequencies: 5kHz, 7kHz, 10kHz, 12.5kHz and 15kHz. The amount of boost or attenuation is continuously variable from -12 dB to 12 dB.

  • Band Pass Filter: Fixed bandwidth: 50Hz to 15kHz. Independently insertable of all other bands.

Applications


  • Software Plug-ins

  • Digital Audio Workstations

  • Digital Mixing Consoles

  • Hardware Effect Processors

AEQ1 Demo


In order to demonstrate the sound and performance of the AEQ1 Algorithm, we have integrated it into a VST Plug-in which has the following system requirements:

  • Hardware:                 Intel® Pentium® 1.7 GHz and above or AMD® Athlon® 1800 and above
                                       128 MB RAM
                                       XVGA Video Card (High Color 1024x768)
                                       Low-latency Sound Card
  • Operating System:    Microsoft® Windows®
  • Software:                   VST 2.0 compliant Host Application

Please note that AEQ1 Demo requires a WIBU Systems CodeMeter Stick and it is only available to well-established audio hardware and software manufacturers.
