The Neve 1073 is one of the most revered class A transistor mics and line amps that give total clarity, sheen, and bite to your recording. The Universal Audio Neve 1073 plugin is a channel amplifier that is one of the best preamp and EQ circuits to ever come out. Universal Audio Neve 1073 – Most Revered Preamp The 550B also has a feature called ‘proportional Q’ which automatically widens the filter bandwidth at its minimum settings and narrows it at its highest settings.īoth of the EQs are great for getting that classic sound that only vintage EQs can provide.

The 550B offers 7 filter frequencies reaching up to 5 octaves per band (there are 4 bands) with bands 1 and 4 offering a shelf or peak filter if you so desire. The 550B is more of a sweetening EQ but can also be used to solve frequency problems that the 550A might not be able to fix. High and low EQ can be selected as either shelving or peaking, and you are also able to insert a band pass filter. A level control determines the amount of the Phoenix II process integrated into the audio signal, and an input trim determines 'how hard you hit the tape.' Because the DSP process is level dependent, the input level trim control has been improved and an output trim control has been added.The 550A offers repeatable equalization at 15 frequency points and 5 different boosts that are then divided into 3 overlapping bands. Gold is the position where the color is approximately flat in frequency response, with Sapphire being a brighter, and Opal being a warmer tonality. The type is selected with a switch for easy comparison between the types, and the brightness is also selected with a switch. Phoenix II has five different tape-analog characteristics. Phoenix II is a ground-up application derived from HEDD technology, and specifically engineered and optimized for Avid's PT 10 architecture. The Phoenix II process not only incorporates the nonlinear saturation characteristics created by magnetic tape itself, but also includes the interrelation of an analog tape recorder's record/reproduce electronics and equalization curves. His intimate knowledge of analog electronics, as well as decades of experience as a recording engineer has spawned a very useful, musical suite of plug-ins. Phoenix II uses 32 bit floating point math and has a lower noise floor than the original release.ĭesigner Dave Hill has crafted this software with the same attention to detail he used to create the electronics for ATR Service's much heralded 'Aria' discrete tape recorders. Phoenix II runs both NATIVE and DSP on Avid's PT 10 AAX format. The Crane Song Phoenix II is an update of Crane Song's suite of TDM plug-ins designed to emulate the unique properties of a magnetic tape machine. Digital Adapters & Miscellaneous Cables.
