Antelope VMEQ-5 - Realtime & Native｜Legendary Mid-Range Tube Equalizer, Recreating Classic Analog Punch

A Three-Band Tube EQ Effect Plugin Designed Specifically for Mid-Range Frequencies

The Antelope VMEQ-5 is Antelope Audio's meticulously recreated classic mid-range tube EQ plugin, specifically designed to process the critical frequency range from 300Hz to 5000Hz. It features two peak gain bands (Peak) and one dip attenuation band (Dip), aiming to inject genuine analog sonic punch into your audio, making it the ultimate tool for vocal processing and guitar tone sculpting.

Compared to general full-band EQs, the VMEQ-5 focuses on the mid-range, which is most sensitive to the human ear, offering more precise and musical tone-sculpting capabilities. It can quickly resolve common mid-range muddiness issues in a mix, allowing your tracks to stand out in complex arrangements.
