Harrison Consoles has announced the release of AVA LegacyQ Equalizer, a digitally recreated plugin version of Harrison’s original MPC digital equalizer.
Harrison’s reputation for “True Analog In-The-Box” sound is due to their unique development heritage; first creating an analog console processor and then converting the processor to digital while retaining the sound and character of the original analog console.
” The results are quintessentially “Harrison”, effortless, smooth and transparent! ”
The new AVA LegacyQ is a plug-in version of Harrison’s original MPC digital equalizer. It began life as a digitally-controlled analog circuit and was later adapted to digital while being used in ultra high-end post & film facilities worldwide.
Like the original, the AVA LegacyQ is optimized for use with control surfaces. Each band covers a limited range equivalent to its original analog counterpart, and the “Q” shape is designed to optimally match the operating range of a physical knob.
A high-resolution spectrum analyzer is also provided to pinpoint specific frequencies that need adjustment.
AVA LegacyQ Equalizer features
- Harrison’s first full featured digital EQ in a plug-in.
- 5 parametric EQ bands with selectable shape.
- 2 filters with selectable shapes (including Harrison’s wide-bottom notch for fast & accurate repair work).
