AEQ2

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 AEQ2 Algorithm accurately and efficiently simulates the latest 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


AEQ2 American Console Equalizer Algorithm features four overlapping bands which have the following specifications:

  • Low Frequency Shelving/Peaking: Selectable filter type: Shelving or Peaking. Seven selectable center frequencies: 30Hz, 40Hz, 50Hz, 100Hz, 200Hz, 300Hz and 400Hz. The amount of boost or attenuation is continuously variable from -12 dB to 12 dB.

  • Low Mid Frequency Peaking: Seven selectable center frequencies: 75Hz, 150Hz, 180Hz, 240Hz, 500Hz, 700Hz and 1kHz. The amount of boost or attenuation is continuously variable from -12 dB to 12 dB.

  • High Mid Frequency Peaking: Seven selectable center frequencies: 800Hz, 1.5kHz, 3kHz, 5kHz, 8kHz, 10kHz and 12.5kHz. 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. Seven selectable center frequencies: 2.5kHz, 5kHz, 7kHz, 10kHz, 12.5kHz, 15kHz and 20kHz. The amount of boost or attenuation is continuously variable from -12 dB to 12 dB.

AEQ2 Demo


In order to demonstrate the sound and performance of the AEQ2 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 AEQ2 Demo requires a WIBU Systems CodeMeter Stick and it is only available to well-established audio hardware and software manufacturers.
