The equalizer, or EQ, is one of the most used yet most misunderstood
audio processes out there. It is a vital tool that any producer
should have in their toolkit - and yes, it can be an incredibly
creative tool!
Simply put, EQing is used to adjust the response of one or more
frequencies in an audio signal, which can help shape or make any
element of your mix less or more prominent.
The EQ was initially used for telecommunication purposes and dates
back to acoustic telegraphy. It was later used in radio and broadcast
and continued to evolve until it became a staple in every studio.
Daniel N. Flickinger designed the first parametric equalizer in
1971. His invention achieved filtering circuits that were previously
impossible, and his patent introduced circuit topology that continues
to be relevant today. These legendary hardware EQs turned into
digital EQ plug-ins with countless customization options and
styles over the years.
This essential tool allows you to surgically remove or boost any
desired frequency, without compromising the timbre of each element,
or by changing it completely. The KH-EQ1 is a great example of a
highly versatile equalizer that encourages the musical shaping of
your sound due to its highly musical functionality.
"If I was ever to be stranded on a deserted island, the KH-EQ1 would be the only EQ I’d ever need"
The KH-EQ1 is the second part of the Koen Heldens Signature Series, following in the footsteps of the KH-COMP1 Signature Compressor, that has been vowed both by our valued customers and press. Koen Heldens is a multi-platinum selling, American Music Award, and Billboard Music Award-winning mixing engineer and producer, best known for working on the most streamed song in 24 hours with XXXTentacion, among other prominent names in the music industry, such as Trippie Redd, Missy Elliott, and Timbaland.
Koen is the expert when it comes to producing some of the best and
most-streamed albums in the hip-hop genre - and while his experience
and understanding of music production allow him to create and
shape the emotional foundation of a song, he also has a deep
understanding of the technical aspects and limitations of each
plug-in he holds in his arsenal.
The collaboration between Koen and Black Rooster Audio quickly
evolved into a fruitful creative partnership, resulting in a
one-of-a-kind plug-in series that is up to the standards of one
of the greatest producers of the moment. We are proud to have
Koen use our plug-ins extensively in every mix and to have co-created
this Signature Series with him.
All Black Rooster Audio plug-ins are designed for high-performance and authenticity.
The KH-EQ1 features five fully controllable symmetrical frequency bands between 20Hz and 33kHz, with individual gain controls between -18dB and +18dB. Each band moves independently, allowing for maximum customization.
Add richness to your sound by adding harmonic distortion to each individual frequency band using the saturation dials. This allows for complete control over the distortion without compromising all other frequency bands - perfect for adding that authentic-sounding analog vibe to your productions!
With the Auto Listen function, the gain control automatically solos the changes applied to each band. This makes it much easier to stay in control during your EQing process.
This function allows for M/S cascades or surgical stereo equalization. The stereo input signal is decoded to the middle and side with the possibility of blending them with the original stereo input via the stepless control.
The user interfaces support high pixel density on both Windows and Mac OS systems, giving you the most enjoyable user experience on high DPI displays.
Black Rooster Audio Plug-Ins (AAX/VST/AU) are compatible with all major digital audio workstations (DAW) and many more.
Take your productions to the next level with the help of one of
the most knowledgeable producers and mix engineers of the moment
with the KH-EQ1!
