Most multi-band compressors cause a phase shift, which isn’t always desirable, whereas dynamic EQs are able to avoid creating a phase shift during the period where they’re not boosting/cutting frequencies. The difference between a dynamic EQ and a multi-band compressor is in the way they’re designed. Dynamic EQs engage once their input signal surpasses the threshold level that you set. Ozone’s Dynamic EQ is a 6 band dynamic EQ with a sleek and user-friendly interface. Buying Ozone Advanced just for the Vintage EQ is hard to justify, but keep in mind that there are many other high-quality plugins included in Ozone Advanced that are intended for mastering. The Ozone Vintage EQ is only available as apart of the advanced version of Ozone which sells for $499. This Vintage EQ allows you to split your signal in some exciting and creative ways. You can flip the EQ into stereo, mid/side, or left/right mode, and apply vintage flavor throughout your stereo field. Typical of how old-school EQs function, you specify a center frequency, and then boost/cut the selected frequency. The Vintage EQ is split up into different sections that allow you to boost/cut specific frequency ranges. Much like the BAX EQ, the Ozone Vintage EQ is very simple to operate you don’t have control over bandwidth, so you’re only making boosts and cuts. It allows you to add the richness, warmth, and color of analog equalization to your input signal. The Ozone Vintage EQ is modeled after classic Pultec EQs. Soundtoys offers a student discount that will allow you to pick up their products for much cheaper than retail price. This EQ is going to provide some serious color to your input signal. This is meant to model how the original w295b would sound when driven harder, and it’s a perfect way to add some “grit” to your audio. The Sie-Q is unique because it has a drive knob that allows you to apply saturation to your output signal. The Mid controls allow you to target one of 6 center frequencies ranging from 500 Hz to 5600 Hz, and apply either a boost or cut of up to 8 dB. Its High control will enable you to cut or boost frequencies with variable frequency responses at different gain levels as well. Sie-Q’s Low control allows you to cut or boost frequencies with variable frequency responses at different gain levels. Luckily, Soundtoys has captured the sound of this vintage EQ in an easy-to-use plugin. This EQ is no longer in production, and many of the remaining units have been disassembled for parts and converted into rack gear.
It used EQ “cassettes” that you could swap depending on the sound you were looking for. The w295b is a module from the Siemens Sitral console that features a discrete silicon transistor design. The Sie-Q is modeled after the Siemens w295b which is a classic German EQ from the 60s.

The best part about this unique tool is that it’s free via Plugin Alliance’s website. This EQ can be used as a creative tool if you automate its parameters, or it can be used as a simple solution to correct a slightly top/bottom heavy mix while mastering. It should be noted that when you turn the center frequency knob all the way to the left, it provides a high pass filter, and when you turn it all the way to the right, it provides a low pass filter. When you engage 10x mode, you’re able to choose a center frequency ranging from 260-22000 Hz. When you turn the EQ gain knob to the left, you boost frequencies to the left of the center frequency, while cutting frequencies to the right of the center frequency.īy default, you’re able to select a center frequency ranging from 26-2200 Hz. When you turn the EQ gain knob to the right, you boost frequencies to the right of the center frequency, while cutting frequencies to the left of the center frequency. Depending on the gain setting around the center frequency, the high frequencies are boosted, and the low frequencies are attenuated (or vice versa) at the same time. It works like a scale to change the proportions between high and low frequencies.
The way the Niveau Filter by Elysia functions is different than all the other EQs on this list.
