Heritage Audio LANG PEQ-2 - Native Plugin｜The Secret Weapon of Legendary Recording Studios

The Studio Secret Weapon that Dominated for 60 Years, Finally Recreated Digitally

The Lang PEQ-2 Program Equalizer is a legend almost forgotten by time. Before Heritage Audio relaunched the brand in 2022, this device was produced in extremely limited quantities, and the surviving physical units are cherished and closely guarded by their fortunate owners. It's hailed as the 'transistorized Pultec' because both are based on the same patented Western Electric design. Now, after months of meticulous digital modeling, Heritage Audio has finally brought this legendary LANG PEQ-2 into the digital realm, allowing all music producers to experience its unique tone-shaping capabilities. This Program Equalizer is more than just a simple EQ; its unique interactive frequency curve design makes it a powerful mixing plugin, especially for mastering and instrument tracks, where it delivers unparalleled musicality and punch.

The PEQ-2's interface appears simple, yet it harbors extreme processing power while perfectly preserving the audio's musicality. Both high and low frequency bands feature independent Boost and Droop controls, allowing you to quickly sculpt sounds in highly creative ways. The special curves generated by simultaneously boosting and cutting the same frequency band are difficult to achieve with traditional EQs. This Pultec-style equalizer will become an indispensable secret weapon in your sonic arsenal, whether it's adding weight to drums, giving vocals more presence, or performing the final mastering for an entire mix, the LANG PEQ-2 handles it with ease.
