"This eq is incredibly cool! It gives you the vibe and sonics of an analog EQ, but you can also control it like a modern slick digital EQ, taking full advantage of the digital power!"John Nathaniel. Producer, Composer, Mixer
"With Pulsar Mu, you have the sound of the glue that you hear from the well-known variable-bias compressor, in a plug-in form with added controls and flexible side-chaining."Maor Applebaum. Recording & Mastering Engineer
"Pulsar Massive gives a whole new and more modern appeal to the sound even when used in the more ‘traditional’ boost/cut way"Andrei Lepori. Producer, Mixing Engineer
Pulsar Massive is designed and built to complement Pulsar Audio's variable-bias compressor plugin, Pulsar Mu. This powerful combo already constitutes a complete mastering chain that allows a musical and colourful control of the spectrum and dynamics. Take your mix even further and give it warmth and colour while remaining transparent.
MASSIVE
A Different Equalizing Experience
Pulsar Massive is an emulation of a legendary analog EQ that is present in almost every mastering studio in the world. This machine was designed as a synthesis of the best passive equalizers of the last 70 years, and several distinct features in the design give it an absolutely unique sound.
First of all, the fully parallel topology of the EQ gives a completely different kind of response to a digital equalizer with the same settings. A parallel equalizer’s tonal corrections aren’t cumulative but tend to interact with each other, resulting in a more intuitive and fluid way to shape the frequency spectrum.
As well as this, the whole equalization circuit of the original hardware is passive and therefore has several inductors. These inductors, machined and wound specifically by the manufacturer, are responsible for a creamy, non-linear and organic sound due to the magnetic saturation they introduce.

Mu
An Industry-standard Tube Compressor
The most faithful emulation of a modern yet legendary tube compressor/limiter – perfect glue for mixing and mastering.
There are several reasons to use a variable-bias tube compressor. One is the exceptional compression transparency that this kind of compressor can achieve, even when pushed into extreme gain reduction. Another – and perhaps the most common – is their ability to add cohesion or “glue” to buses, whole mixes and masters.
Unfortunately, the original hardware is expensive and difficult to integrate with “in-the-box” workflows. Software emulations exist but most owners of the hardware agree that they cannot be compared to the original unit, as there’s always “something” missing.
With its unique Topology Preservation Technology, Pulsar Mu sounds objectively identical to the hardware in every production context, and even makes improvements such as an increased signal-to-noise ratio.
