The SOLID EQ

 

Originally released in the mid-1970s, the analog mixing console that inspired the SOLID MIX

SERIES soon became the central element in many of the greatest studios around the world.

Claiming to be the mixer behind more platinum selling albums than all other consoles com-

bined,  this  mixing  console  literally  contributed  to  the  sound  of  the  1980s.  The  precise  and
transparent sound of its full-featured channel strips set new references for mixing engineers.
The SOLID EQ brings you the equalization section of this highly acclaimed channel strip. This
equalizer offers two fully-parametric mid-range bands and two semi-parametric high and low

bands,  and  notably  recreates  the  switchable  E  and  G  characteristics  of  the  original  gear  for
working on all kinds of audio materials.

Additional Features

Bringing analog hardware into the software world allowed us to add a few great features, which
are available in the expert panel of the SOLID EQ. For example, the SOLID EQ not only recre-
ates the EQ section of the well known mixing desk, but also adds the infamous high-pass and
low-pass  filters  from  that  same  desk.  And,  of  course,  as  with  any  unit  available  through  FX
Framework, you can save and recall presets for your favorite settings.
