Waves Launches GEQ – Classic and Modern Graphic EQ

WARNING: The following news item contains graphic images.

Fortunately, the content is still safe for work – Waves has announced the launch of GEQ, a full-featured graphic equalizer plugin with both Classic and Modern mono and stereo components. In keeping with the spirit of graphic EQs the specs are relatively straightforward, highlighted by 30 ISO bands high and low pass filters, a high precision floating parametric EQ bell filter, and a real-time analyzer.

The “Classic” GEQ from Waves.

Designed for live use and the studio, GEQ is available now, for a limited-time intro price of $99, after which it increases to $200 (although Waves hasn’t said when the increase officially kicks in).

Here are the full details on GEQ, from Waves:

GEQ Classic components use traditional proportional Q filters inspired by the renowned DN series 1/3 octave equalizers, which narrow the filter width as you increase a band’s gain; GEQ Modern components utilize special Flat-Top filters which eliminate the artifacts associated with band interaction, and provide perfect plateau and stair-stepped responses. Set band gains one-by-one, or draw your curve via touch-screen or mouse. Finally, GEQ’s integrated real-time analyzer lets you compare the difference between two sources. Created for live sound but equally useful in the studio as well, GEQ is powerful proof that all equalizers are not created equal.

GEQ is Native and SoundGrid compatible, and included in Mercury, SoundGrid Pro and SoundGrid SD7 Pro bundles.
