Also, the parallel equalizers are equipped with respective shelving filters shapes being typical for the old parallel PEQs and interacting with other bands as did their analog predecessors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery complex PEQ is equipped with cut filters. In Classic PEQ Blue, each of the 12 equalizers can assign 1st and 2nd order cut filters.  The 2nd order filters have a Q adjustment to create so-called resonant filters characteristics and very steep brickwall filters after cascading more of them (Butterworth, Bessel, Elliptic).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe best of the analog and digital world\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Classic PEQ Blue is a creative equalizing tool combining the best of both the analog and digital worlds.  We modeled the most legendary analog equalizers including two parallel ones and added a few experimental characteristics only possible in digital domain.  To avoid bell filter asymmetry at high frequencies, typical for many digital equalizers, we have applied reference-quality upsampling techniques, automatically switchable if the sampling frequency of the input signal is 44.1 or 48 kHz.  By using proprietary filter algorithms, we have achieved a huge dynamic range, as well as extremely low noise and distortion level and thus unparalleled sound purity--impossible with any analog circuitry.  The whole equalizer collection works with sample rates up to 384 kHz and therefore is perfectly suitable for DSD post-processing.  Several instances can be opened simultaneously.  Complete setups can be easily exchanged between them.  The true frequency response display is zoomable and in the DirectX version the whole PlugIn can be enlarged to the full screen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Algorithmix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449369686119,"sku":"7922","price":1249.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/algorithmix_lpeq_classic_blue.jpg?v=1787088742","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/algorithmix-lpeq-classic-blue","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
