{"product_id":"waves-v-eq3-1","title":"Waves V-EQ3","description":"\u003cp\u003eCombining the best characteristics of the vintage 1066 and 1073 modules, the V-EQ3 is a modeled equalizer plugin based on the acclaimed Neve® 1066 \u0026amp; 1073.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDecades ago, EQ designers working within hardware’s limitations would choose a “greatest hits” collection of parameters and controls. The carefully curated choice of frequencies, slopes, and curves made it easy to dial in the ideal sound—from tracks to masters—within seconds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe V-EQ3 is true to that ideal, with a spectacularly detailed midrange, rich bass, and bright “air.” This isn’t a “surgical” EQ: its analog accuracy envelops the sound’s body with color and sparkle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProven Sound—for Over Half a Century\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe V-EQ3 models the famous 1066\/1073 Neve preamps, which embody the character-laden sound of the 70s—detailed midrange and body, high-end sparkle, and the subtle characteristics of transformer distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePush Your Sounds Forward\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 10 midrange bell frequencies were chosen solely for musical reasons. And the bell response tolerates high-gain settings better than today’s modern EQs, so you can push sounds forward—or cut back if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAdd Sweet Air to Your Tracks\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 10 and 12 kHz high-shelf frequencies can both add “air,” but offer slightly different characters. Combined with a hint of harmonic distortion, air adds sparkle to all acoustic instruments, and especially vocals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e“In the Box” Analog Mixing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd the V-EQ3 as the last effect in every track, zero out EQ, and click the Analog button—you’ll hear the sound of analog mixing’s wider soundstage, and the more forward midrange due to transformer emulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural-sounding EQ, with low-distortion Class A design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd “air” to vocals and acoustic instruments at 10 or 12 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighpass filter trims “mud” when feeding sounds like kick into buses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZeroing EQ still retains the analog circuit modeling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModels the renowned 1066\/1073 Neve preamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 10 curated midrange frequencies for vocals and instruments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoost Low-Frequency shelf for body or power; cut to thin sounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhase reverse adds functionality with parallel processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eRequirements:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emac\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ecpu\u003c\/strong\u003e:Intel or Silicon Architecture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eram\u003c\/strong\u003e:8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003edisk\u003c\/strong\u003e:0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eversion\u003c\/strong\u003e:macOS Catalina 10.15, Big Sur 11, Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003esupport\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e64_bit\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewindows\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ecpu\u003c\/strong\u003e:X64 compatible Intel or AMD CPU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eram\u003c\/strong\u003e:8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003edisk\u003c\/strong\u003e:0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eversion\u003c\/strong\u003e:Windows 10 64 bit Windows 11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003esupport\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e64_bit\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eVideos:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/joODwQFmmrk\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IEFEO1_Mtxk\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_RN3NIr16iU\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56119428776268,"sku":"CHO-1178-3008","price":28.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0924\/4652\/3724\/files\/v-eq3_52828acf-c661-48d2-85fc-e487f14a2168.jpg?v=1764473611","url":"https:\/\/pluginbay.net\/products\/waves-v-eq3-1","provider":"Pluginbay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
