Antelope NEU-W495 - 3-Band Mastering EQ｜Recreating the Classic Sound of 1970s German Broadcast Mastering EQ

Legendary German-Made 3-Band Mastering EQ Plugin, Infusing Your Mixes with Unparalleled Clarity and Musicality.

The Antelope NEU-W495 is a mastering EQ effect plugin from Antelope Audio, precisely modeled after a classic 1970s German broadcast-grade hardware equalizer, featuring three switchable frequency bands and a unique Proportional-Q design. This plugin aims to bring the sound quality and consistency typically found in high-end mastering consoles to your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). Whether used to enhance vocal openness, tighten bass frequencies, or add air and clarity to the overall mix bus, the NEU-W495 delivers precise and highly musical control.

Compared to the pure precision of modern digital EQs, the NEU-W495, through meticulous modeling of classic analog circuits, retains the hardware's unique thick low-end and musical warmth while still offering precise control. It faithfully reproduces the original German broadcast-grade EQ's extremely low phase distortion and smooth Proportional-Q curve, making every adjustment natural and fluid. It's an indispensable effect plugin for producers and mixing engineers seeking top-tier analog sound.

Antelope NEU-W495 Core Technologies & Features

Faithful German Classic Recreation: Precisely modeled after a 1970s German broadcast-grade EQ, capturing its irreplaceable clarity, precision, and tonal balance, bringing legendary analog sound into your digital workflow.
3-Band Precise Control: Offers three frequency bands (high, mid, low), each with switchable center frequency points, allowing for delicate sculpting of specific frequency ranges. Intuitive to operate and powerful in function.
Musical Proportional-Q Design: Utilizes a gentle proportional Q curve where the Q value (bandwidth) automatically narrows as the gain boost or cut increases, ensuring that even large adjustments remain smooth and natural, avoiding unpleasant phase issues.
Extremely Low Phase Distortion: Inheriting the original hardware's circuit design for stringent broadcast standards, NEU-W495 features extremely low phase distortion and excellent left-right channel consistency, ensuring audio integrity and transparency during mastering.
Mastering-Grade Transparent Sound: Whether adding air to a final mix, polishing details, or adding thickness to individual tracks, its transparent and musical sonic character makes it an ideal tool for mix bus and mastering.
Flexible Dual-Version Licensing: A single purchase grants access to both versions. You can use the Native version on any Mac or PC, or run it in real-time with zero latency on Antelope Synergy Core audio interfaces, meeting the demands of various workflow scenarios.
