Pultec Pro EQ Plug-In

Overview

Silky Smooth Mid-Range Boost & Cut Compliment a Full-Bandwidth Vintage EQ

Universal Audio’s Pultec Pro combines the Pultec MEQ-5 Midrange Equalizer and the Pultec EQP-1A Program Equalizer, two of the most sought-after hardware EQs, into a single plug-in. The Pultec MEQ-5 Midrange Equalizer has been out of production for some time, and is the ultimate compliment to the Pultec EQP-1A. The MEQ-5 EQ section allows you to boost and cut midrange bands with the same silky smoothness and personality of the original hardware. Either EQ section can be enabled or disabled separately, saving DSP power on your UAD-1 or UAD-2 card. Like the EQP-1A, the MEQ-5 was meticulously modeled with all of the attention to detail you expect from Universal Audio.

EQP-1A & MEQ-5, both modeled after highly prized “golden units”
Unique simultaneous low-band Boost and Cut functions
Smooth, artifact-free EQ, even at high boost settings
Requires a UAD DSP Accelerator Card or Apollo Interface available from authorized dealers worldwide

The Glitch Mob

"We use the [UAD] Pultec plug-in a lot because we dull things out, then warm them up. For synth sounds that we really want to chop through the mix, we add the Pultec to give some boost on the top."

Garrett "Jacknife" Lee
(R.E.M., The Cars)
"I wouldn't spend ten grand on a Pultec when I have them in my UAD-2 card."

Paul Smith
(Dengue Fever)
“Whether it’s the pro version with additional features, or the good old original, the [UAD Pultec] plug-in sounds so damn sweet.”

Fab Dupont
(Shakira, Santigold)
“The [UAD] Pultec Pro, along with the Plate 140, are the two main reasons why I can't work without a UAD-2 card in my system.”

Paul Moak
(Third Day, Matthew Mayfield)
"The mix REALLY came to life when i strapped the Pultec-Pro and the Fairchild [plug-ins] across the bus."
Henry Jackman
(The Da Vinci Code)
"With UAD's Pultec EQs, you can really crank the top end without it sounding artificial or displeasing."

Adam Fuest
(Future Music)
"Needless to say, if I came across a [hardware] Pultec that sounded like the UAD version, I would be very happy with it."

Dweezil Zappa
(Zappa Plays Zappa)
"I really like the Pultec Pro. I use it pretty frequently on at least 85 to 90 percent of the stereo mixes."

Pultec-Pro
by F. Rottier (Sunday 24 March, 2013)
Après quelques balbutiements, j’ai enfin lu le manuel pour comprendre comment utiliser les réglages. Contrairement à la Lexicon 224 que j’ai vu dans de nombreux studios, je découvre cet appareil qui se révèle très efficace. J’aime les aigus précis et clairs de ce plug-in. … Read More
