In anticipation of the temptation to run multiple channels, there's also aВ DSPвЂ‘light version. Like the Helios, this EQ has that ability to lift elements within aВ sound or mix without compromising the overall sound, and it is easy to see why engineers liked to mix with it. All four of the main EQ sections have swept frequency controls and в‘0dB of gain adjustment, with separate 'In' buttons for the main EQ and the filters, while the low band can be switched to peak or shelving mode.

This characterful equaliser is aВ fourвЂ‘band peak design with highвЂ‘ and lowвЂ‘cut filters plus Auto Q, which automatically adapts the effective filter bandwidth depending on the EQ settings. Michael Jackson's seminal Thriller album is but one of many classics made on Harrison desks, which Swedien favours.

The UAD Harrison EQ plugвЂ‘in is modelled on the fourвЂ‘band 32C channel EQ in Bruce Swedien's own Harrison 32 Series console, and as an added bonus, Swedien has also contributed some of his favourite preset settings. Internal upsampling is used to work this plugвЂ‘in's magic, which means that its latency may be noticeable if it's applied while tracking. IВ particularly like the midвЂ‘range, and though most changes can be made with relatively little EQ, this one still sounds sweet if you need to add aВ lot of boost.

Simple it may be, but this EQ has aВ wonderfully focused sound, able to lift instruments out of aВ mix in an effortless way. This EQ also features aВ phase switch, an EQ Cut switch (which leaves the level control and other circuitry still in circuit) and an output level control. Bandwidth is not adjustable, and there is aВ 16dB gainВ range. The mid band can operate in cut or boost modes, and has eight centre frequencies ranging from 700Hz to 6kHz. The bass band functions as aВ 50Hz shelf filter, offering five stepped gain values between вЂ‘3 and вЂ‘15 dB, or alternatively as aВ peak EQ with four stepped centre frequencies at 60, 100, 200 and 300 Hz.

Universal Audio's plugвЂ‘in is modelled on the the EQ section of the very first Type 69 console, which was installed at Island's Basing Street Studio in London and currently resides with Jason Carmer in California.ДЇeatureвЂ‘wise, it's very much an EQ of its time, with aВ switchedвЂ‘frequency mid-section and aВ fixed 10kHz high-shelf control that has aВ вЂ‘6 to +16 gain range. Helios consoles were also popular in the private studios of their era, and the Type 69 was considered the model to aspire to. The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, the Who, Roxy Music and Queen all made records on Helios desks at one time or another. The Helios 69 EQ is based on the passive circuitry used in Helios consoles, built between 19 and linked to innumerable classic British rock hits, as well as to international artists such as Jimi Hendrix and Bob Marley. The company have also made the power of the UAD2 card available in aВ format that laptop users can benefit from, with the launch of the UAD2 Solo Laptop (see box elsewhere in this article), so this seems aВ good time to round up all the new plugвЂ‘ins, as well as one or two stragglers from previous updates that we haven't had space to cover before now.

Universal Audio have given their UAD2 DSP platform extra appeal with yet more accurate recreations of classic studio hardware, and aВ new version of the card that works with laptop computers.ДЄ raft of new plugвЂ‘ins has been added to the range available for Universal Audio's UAD platform with the introduction of version 5.4 software (which also reduces latency for Pro Tools users).
