McDSP 6060 Ultimate Module Collection
E300/E301
While there may be no electro-optical
attenuation in these equalizers, McDSP wanted
to have equalizer modules that complimented
the Opto-C/L compressor modules in the
6060 Ultimate Module Collection plug-in.
The Opto-C/L modules are good general
purpose compressors, with the Opto-L module
operating more like a vintage limiter. In that
spirit, the E300/301 modules are very utilitarian
as well. The E300 and E301 three-band modules have the same frequency and gain
ranges, but the E301 is a tad narrower in bandwidth, especially at higher gain settings.
British-E
McDSP’s own FilterBank plug-in, originally released in 1998,
harnessed the fundamental design characteristics of the Neve
line of equalizers, most notably the 1069, 1073 and 1081,
with its unique Peak, Slope, and Dip controls. The British E
module uses this same FilterBank technology to create an
amalgamation of great Neve equalizers. The classic hpf, low
shelf, parametric, high shelf combination makes the British E
module useful for most mixing situations.
EZ Q
The folks at dbx did not release any parametric equalizers to
match their classic compressor product line. But if they did,
here at McDSP we think it would have sounded like the EZ Q.
Using a high pass filter to crave out the rumble, plus capable
low and high shelfs, and a fairly flexible parametric, the EZ Q
gets the job done.
