Bettermaker PEQ_Core 1U Passive Stereo EQ with Plugin Control

Bettermaker PEQ_Core 1U Passive Stereo EQ with Plugin Control

The Bettermaker PEQ_Core is a compact 1U passive stereo EQ that keeps the audio fully analogue while every control lives in a DAW plugin, giving you classic passive tone with instant recall and automation. It uses the same style of boost-and-cut passive curves as Bettermaker's larger passive EQs, including the extended 20kHz and 28kHz air bands, in a chassis that takes up just one rack space.

With no settings to note down or rebuild, PEQ_Core suits mastering engineers moving quickly between projects, mix engineers who want analogue EQ on buses and stems, and multi-room facilities that need sessions to recall exactly. Its size also makes it practical to run several units side by side for multi-bus hybrid mixing.
