★500 series compatible, digitally controlled stereo analog PULTEC type EQ
The EQ 502P is a pure analogue signal processing unit, yet offers full digital recall with 399 storable presets that can be recalled at the touch of a button. EQ settings can be saved to internal memory, as well as from your DAW. Settings can also be saved with automation information into your DAW project via the Controller Plug-in.
When developing the EQ 502P equalizer, Bettermaker took the best classic designs and modified them to create a more practical device, aiming for maximum ease of use, distinctive character, and clean sound. Today, we have to get work done faster. This requires both the best possible sound quality and maximum speed, and creating this solution was the primary motivation for developing the EQ 502P.
EQ 502P features: Stereo/dual mono Pultec section - shelf filters based on the legendary architecture. All functions including stereo-matched boost and attenuation knobs. Digital recall and 399 storable presets. Plug-in-like controls including automation via USB link. Free AU, VST, RTAS, AAX, 32 & 64-bit compatible controller plug-in for digital recall.
