Give your Tracks the Sweet Sound of Motown

The Hitsville EQ Collection gives you the soulful tone of the custom‑built graphic equalizers that shaped the legendary Motown Sound. Available only from Universal Audio, the Hitsville EQ Collection gives your tracks the rich sound of secret-sauce EQs used by everyone from The Supremes to Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5.*

Get the Tone of the Historic Motown Studio

The custom‑made gear built by Hitsville engineers was essential to Motown's rich, energized sound. By thoroughly emulating the original Hitsville EQ units — with help from the technical engineers who made them — you can finally give your productions the same punchy, open sound heard on countless Motown hits.

Shape Sounds with a Simple Graphic EQ

From vocals and drums, to bass and keyboards, the Hitsville EQ plug‑in makes everything sound better with simple seven‑band equalization, giving your tracks the hit‑making frequencies that made Motown records jump out of the speakers.

Add Professional Shine with Motown's Classic Mastering EQ

Finish off your tracks with the world's only emulation of Hitsville's ultra-rare mid/side disk mastering EQ. Hear how the legendary "Motown Filters" and half‑speed frequency settings give your productions the fat, vintage hi‑fi sound and energy of a classic single, hot off the Motown production line. Hitsville, indeed.

What They Say

The Hitsville EQ Collection was modeled from my personal, vintage Motown units. UA did a great job with these plug‑ins!

The Hitsville EQ lets you dial-in classic sounds in seconds.

Eric J Dubowsky

Flume, Odesza, Weezer

The Hitsville EQ plug-in gives you that tight, bright, insistent Motown sound, and allows for bold use of both boost and cut EQ. I love it!

    Back to basics EQ

    A back-to-basics EQ. Subtle, gentle. Transparent without too much color of your source. Dials in quickly so you can move on. Place before a good compressor and you're off to the races...
