Massenburg DesignWorks MDW Hi-Res Parametric EQ 3.0

Developed by the creator of the parametric EQ, George Massenburg, Massenburg DesignWorks® Hi-Res Parametric EQ 3.0 emulates the filter curves of Massenburg’s legendary GML 8200 reference-standard equalizer. Designed for Pro Tools|HD® systems, version 3.0 offers new RTAS® support, giving you the flexibility to use the EQ with Pro Tools LE® and Pro Tools M-Powered™ systems too. With its unprecedented clarity, unmatched smoothness, and excellent high-frequency response, MDW® Hi-Res Parametric EQ will help you achieve optimal definition in your mixes.

• Wide frequency selection, from 10 Hz to 41 kHz, with variable Q and choice of three- or five-band EQ
• Double-precision 48-bit processing for unprecedented clarity
• Emulates GML 8200 constant shape reciprocal filter curves — the industry-standard reference
• IsoPeak® functionality lets you quickly solo a target frequency band
• A/B snapshots allow settings comparisons
• Supports both TDM and RTAS plug-in formats

MDW® Hi-Res Parametric EQ emulates the constant shape reciprocal filter curves of Massenburg’s legendary GML 8200 equalizer — the industry-standard reference. The plug-in offers a choice of three or five bands of equalization (both versions support the ultra-wide 10 Hz to 41 kHz frequency range) to target certain frequencies, or conserve DSP resources when only three bands of EQ are needed.

• Professional Features
MDW Hi-Res Parametric EQ offers a number of features to help you achieve better mixes. It allows you to view the frequency grid in 6, 12, or 24 dB resolution for more editing precision. IsoPeak® lets you quickly isolate and sweep through the frequency spectrum to find a targeted frequency. You can also toggle between two EQ band settings using A/B snapshots, copy one setting to the other, and invert the phase of a track. And when used with an ICON worksurface or Digidesign® control surface, the EQ organizes the bands into ergonomic groups on the channel strips.

• High-Resolution Filtering
MDW Hi-Res Parametric EQ 3.0 lives up to its high-resolution name. The plug-in delivers double-precision 48-bit processing for optimal clarity with natural-sounding results. It also provides high-resolution 96 kHz sample-rate processing for audio recorded at 48 kHz or 96 kHz, and 192 kHz sample-rate processing for 192 kHz audio, allowing for increased headroom, fewer artifacts, and more predictable filter curves. And with a variable Qs (adjustable bandwidths) from 25.6 (1/18 of an octave) to 0.1 (6-2/3 octaves), MDW Hi-Res Parametric EQ 3.0 delivers unmatched precision.

• Excellent DSP Efficiency
MDW Hi-Res Parametric EQ 3.0 allows you to tailor the number of frequency bands for better DSP processing efficiency. Use the three-band version to conserve resources, allowing you to instantiate the EQ plug-in up to eight times per DSP chip at 48 kHz and 96 kHz on Pro Tools|HD® Accel systems. With the five-band version, you can instantiate the EQ plug-in up to four times per DSP chip at 48 kHz and 96 kHz on Pro Tools|HD Accel systems.
