Selected Equalizers for Harmonic Enhancement

Harris Doyle Natalus EQ

Passive EQ with magnetic peak saturation for a more musical sound. More than just a gorgeous-sounding passive equalizer. Its unique “Peak Level” control fattens audio while preserving dynamics, adding magnetically controlled dynamics processing to your signal—similar to the kinds of gentle compression and saturation you’d find in a well-calibrated tape machine.

Dangerous BAX EQ

One of the smoothest sounding EQs on the market. An exacting model of the mastering-grade Dangerous Music BAX EQ hardware unit, featuring Peter Baxandall’s world-class 1950s tone control that has graced hundreds of millions of hi-fi systems. Use it to add brightness to your mixes without harshness, and craft a fat mud-free low end.

Compressors for Cohesion and Balance

Brainworx bx_glue

The latest release from Brainworx, delivering vintage warmth and digital precision. The definitive VCA bus compressor. Bring whole mixes together and enhance individual tracks with vintage glue. 

SPL IRON

A unique Vari-Mu compressor with a dual circuit topology. Specially designed Mu-Metal iron transformer splits the signal between two distinctly different tubes, 12AX7/ECC83 and  12AU7/ECC82, each with a slightly different compression curve and feel. These two separate tube compression circuits run in parallel, recombining to taste, for a uniquely flexible approach to tube compression.

Mäag Audio Magnum-K

The audio engineer’s favorite.  Composed of two serial compressor sections (MAGNUM COMP and K COMP), a very musical Parallel EQ (with LMF and Mäag's signature AIR BAND®), plus a Soft Limit (soft limiter). Complete with 20 unique analog TMT channels.

Essential Mastering Plugins for Perfecting Your Tracks

Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor Class A

one of the rarest and most powerful high end compressors ever built. In 2012, Vintage King released the hardware version of the Class A, limiting production to only 50 units! Through patented TMT modeling, Brainworx has created an exacting emulation of this legendary hardware that improves on the original with expanded features and much punchier VCA.
