A FAMILIAR VINTAGE ICON Neumann w495 EQ’s were used to master 90% of the vinyl records manufactured from the 1970s to the 1990s. But even after this golden age, many mastering engineers still love this EQ. Why? Because the w495 has wide equalization curves that can be pushed to ridiculous levels while remaining musical. The w495 is an easy-to-use tone shaper for individual tracks. But It can also enhance presence and depth of an entire mix. But we’ve taken Pulsar W495 even further, adding all the key features you would expect from a modern EQ plugin, including visual curve editing for a fast workflow. From channel EQ to mastering EQ, Pulsar w495 is an easy-to-use powerful tone shaper, faithfully emulated from an iconic 3 band EQ. DON T UNDERESTIMATE THE VERSATILITY OF ITS 3 BANDS Creativity is all about workflow, getting the right sound in a few clicks is the key to staying creative during a session. Pulsar w495 is the perfect tool to help make quick mix decisions without overthinking things. Speaking about workflow, Pulsar w495 comes with a complete on-screen curve editor and spectrum analyzer to give you an accurate overview of your EQ changes. Mix by ear, with the eyes, or both, the choice is yours. Pulsar w495 is a component-accurate model of the original unit. From the subtle band saturations to the sounding-unique output transformers, every aspect of the original unit is preserved for the plugin version. The high-shelf band is widely recognized for its ability to enhance clarity without any harshness, while the low-shift adds weight without sounding muddy. Where a source misses power, the mid-band can be a go-to for enhancing energy. Pulsar w495’s offers per-band Mid/Side routing options. Remove medium frequencies on the side only to focus energy on the center of the stereo image. Add a bass boost to centered low frequencies only with a low-shelf Mid boost for a solid low end. Enhance high-end for a sheeny stereo signal by pushing the transparent high-shelf in Sides only. With its clever utilization of modern CPUs, Pulsar w495 ensures a lightweight footprint while delivering powerful audio algorithms. The resizable interface, comprehensive metering and wise choice of modern features make Pulsar w495 a go-to EQ. Main Features Modern EQ Edition Controls in the curve editor correspond to the Gain, Frequency and Q values of the hardware-style knobs below, and give continuous selection of frequencies, gains and filter widths. Keyboard modifiers make it quick to achieve the settings you need. Shelf & Bell filters The control rack is organized into three main sections, corresponding to the three different EQ bands (low-shelf filter, parametric bell filter, and high-shelf filter). For authenticity, the controls can be stepped to a restricted set of values. Mid-Side processing Each band can be used on the entire stereo signal, or switched into operating with a single focus: the Mid only, to process mono, central audio or the Side only, to process stereo, non-central audio. Auto-gain This control compensates for volume changes introduced by equalization, keeping output level consistent with input. It uses a C-Weighting-based algorithm to introduce a level compensation based on EQ curve analysis. The compensation gain applied only depends on your EQ settings and won’t change during playback. Metering & Spectrum analyser The on-screen analyzer displays the audio spectrum in real-time (fast and slow window settings) or over the long-term with the Infinite Spectrum setting. In addition, peak metering provides insight into overall dynamics, and RMS meters let you monitor loudness and level matching. An overall gain meter is also available. Presets from top-notch producers We’re fortunate to have the support and collaboration of countless talented engineers and producers. You can take full advantage of their expertise with presets that offer superb starting points for your mixing or mastering sessions. Oversampling A selectable oversampling mode is available for computers that can handle it, with processing at rates up to 384 kHz. You can choose for higher oversampling settings to be applied at export than at playback. Smart GUI Pulsar w495 comes all wrapped up in a responsive and resizable interface. A resize handle enables you to choose the perfect size for each use case, from nice and compact to highly visible.
