Bettermaker PEQ_core Passive EQ

Bettermaker PEQ_core Passive EQ

By swapping front-panel controls for a dedicated plugin that handles operation, metering, and recall, Bettermaker’s PEQ_Core marries the same coveted, mastering-grade sound quality of the original SPE with the speed, efficiency, and convenience of a contemporary DAW-based workflow. This streamlining also enabled Bettermaker to slim the PEQ_core down into a 1U chassis, bringing 100% analog passive EQ circuitry within reach of even the densest studio racks. Audio engineers relish that, aside from the workflow and smaller chassis, everything about the PEQ_core remains the same as the SPE, including its famous Air Bands at 20kHz and 28kHz, adding brilliance without harshness to your mix’s top end. The PEQ_core is ideal for studio engineers who want to bring uncompromising analog hardware sound to their productions without constantly reaching for their rack.

Bettermaker: vintage sound for today’s hybrid workflows

Bettermaker’s approach seems simple: cherry-pick the best of vintage and modern circuit topologies and combine them in products that offer the sonic integrity of analog with the speed and workflow conveniences of working “in the box.” The reality is that not all companies have the design chops to pull it off consistently. Bettermaker does. Taking a fresh approach to classic designs, modern and high-spec components are selected for long-term reliability and to help maintain transient response and the low noise floor required for today’s recording practices. At the same time, increased functionality enhances the efficiency of — and accommodates the flexibility needed by — today’s hybrid studio workflows. Where possible, Bettermaker engineers increase gain resolution and frequency response to ensure maximum sound quality. Stringent computerized instrument bench testing and subjective listening tests both play a significant role in the development of Bettermaker gear, and the results speak for themselves.
