Meeting very strict requirements in terms of durability and electrical parameters, they have been designed in such a way as to minimize the phenomenon of microphonics and ensure very high parameters even after a long period of use. This is one of the few Tubes in which attention was paid to the extremely low level of noise and distortion. Each tube that left the factory then, was selected during strict tests of all parameters and has an individual military acceptance stamp.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"comp-lveykqcy\" class=\"N8MGzv _v6ohL PO9MfV AWXfZq comp-lveykqcy wixui-rich-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eTransformers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"comp-lveyiko5\" class=\"N8MGzv _v6ohL PO9MfV AWXfZq comp-lveyiko5 wixui-rich-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eHaving worked extensively with over a hundred different vintage transformers from esteemed manufacturers like Siemens (for WSW, Telefunken, military), Collins, Marinair, UTC, Malotki, Soviet military, and others, the differences are not just audible but measurable. One of the most glaring issues arises in the lower frequency range, where distortion levels can be significatly higher than at 1kHz.\u003cbr class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eWhile frequency response might appear adequate, the coherence of the sound in the lower range often falls short of musical expectations. To cut a long story short, after years of rigorous research and collaboration with core manufacturers, We’ve finally developed a transformer that satisfies us on multiple fronts—as musicias, a sound engineers, and an electronics developers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"comp-lv6pcg0n1\" class=\"N8MGzv _v6ohL PO9MfV AWXfZq comp-lv6pcg0n1 wixui-rich-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eDAW Integration\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"comp-lv6pcg0r1\" class=\"N8MGzv _v6ohL PO9MfV AWXfZq comp-lv6pcg0r1 wixui-rich-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eBettermaker Valve Stereo Passive Equalizer is delivered with hybrid DAW plugin that allows you to control and recall all settings of the hardware. Additionally provides high quality digital HPF and LPF, spectrum analyzer, session snapshots and other useful functions such as dual mono operation, audio level metering and quantize (step) mode for all hardware knobs. You can also adjust VSPE filters by draging handles on the EQ curve graph. Currently selected band will be solo’ed to let you hear the changes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003ePlease note that some hardware features are available only when DAW plugin is connected and active.
