Product Detail
Step back to the 70s and embrace the natural, colorful sound with the Waves V-EQ3. Years ago, EQ designers under hardware constraints selected a top - notch set of parameters and controls. They carefully picked frequencies, slopes, and curves, enabling you to get the perfect sound from tracks to masters in just seconds. The V - EQ3 lives up to this ideal, boasting a super - detailed midrange, rich bass, and bright 'air'. It's not a precision - only EQ; its analog accuracy adds color and sparkle to the sound. Key features include a natural - sounding EQ with low - distortion Class A design, emulating the famous 1066/1073 Neve preamps. You can add 'air' to vocals and acoustic instruments at 10 or 12 kHz, choose from 10 well - chosen midrange frequencies for vocals and instruments. A high - pass filter helps remove unwanted 'mud' when sending kick sounds to buses. Boost the Low - Frequency shelf for more body or power, or cut it to thin the sound. Even when the EQ is set to zero, the analog circuit modeling remains, and phase reverse enhances parallel processing functionality.
Using the Waves V - EQ3 is a breeze. First, if you want to add a bit of brightness to vocals or acoustic instruments, turn the knob to set the frequency at 10 or 12 kHz. For the midrange, pick from the 10 curated frequencies according to the instrument or vocal you're working with. When dealing with kick sounds going to buses, use the high - pass filter to get rid of the muddiness. To give your sound more body or power, boost the Low - Frequency shelf; if it's too thick, cut it. Remember, even when you set the EQ to zero, the analog circuit modeling is still there, so you don't lose that authentic touch. When using phase reverse, it can add more options during parallel processing. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If there's dust on it, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it. That's all you need to know to get the most out of your Waves V - EQ3.
