Plugin Alliance has introduced a new audio plugin that emulates the unique Harris Doyle Natalus Dynamic Stereo Console EQ, a passive equalizer with magnetic peak saturation for a more musical sound.
The Natalus Dynamic Stereo Console Equalizer (DSCEQ) is more than just a gorgeous-sounding passive equalizer. Its unique “Peak Level” control fattens audio while preserving dynamics. It does this by adding magnetically controlled dynamics processing to your signal—similar to the kinds of gentle compression and saturation you’d find in a well-calibrated tape machine.
Although it’s designed first and foremost as an EQ, a favorite feature for many users is the Natalus’ incredibly simple, one-knob dynamics section. As you turn up the Peak Level control, a magnetic transformer reduces the intensity of transient peaks in a way that is much smoother, cleaner, and more analog-sounding than any conventional compressor or limiter. Use it to tame “spiky” top end on acoustic guitars, synths, and percussion. Apply the Natalus DSCEQ to kicks and snares for a satisfying tape-like “punch.”
The plugin is offered for an introductory price of $199.99 USD for a limited time (regular $299.99 USD). PA newsletter subscribers can get the plugin for $149.99 USD, and owners of selected products can purchase a license for only $99.99 USD during the promotion.
