Gyratec XIV by Antelope Audio is a passive stereo tube EQ modeled on the iconic Pultec design, now available as a native plugin for your DAW. It delivers the thick, deep character of the original hardware, with a parallel filter topology that lets you apply lush mastering equalization or precise surgical corrections. The variable Q behaves uniquely: wide when boosting, tight and aggressive when cutting—approaching a notch at extreme settings. On stereo sources, it subtly widens the image, making it ideal for mix bus use to carve space without artifacts or phase issues. An extra mono mode suits any source. Whether you’re tracking in real time or mixing, Gyratec XIV brings authentic analog warmth and versatility to hobby producers and mastering engineers alike.
