The Sonoris Parallel Equalizer stands out in the realm of parametric equalizers, delivering a meticulous approach to audio shaping in both mixing and mastering environments. This plugin, available in VST, VST3, AU, and AAX formats for Windows and Mac, offers a distinctive parallel filter topology that sets it apart.
The parallel structure of the bands, particularly bands 2 to 6, creates an interaction that requires a nuanced and attentive approach during setup. Unlike conventional series-connected equalizers where gains simply add up, the parallel configuration demands more precision and effort to achieve optimal results. This design also ensures a cleaner signal path, as all filters operate on the same input, preventing easy overdoing of adjustments.
Key Features:
- Parallel Filter Topology: The bands work in parallel to each other and the unprocessed signal, promoting subtle adjustments and a cleaner signal path.
- Processing Modes: The Parallel Equalizer can operate in stereo, M(id), S(ide), L, or R mode, offering flexibility in audio processing.
- Display: The plugin features a large graphical display that provides a visual representation of the adjustments made. The plugin’s size is customizable for user preference.
- Filter Types: Bands 2 to 6 are connected in parallel and employ feedback/feedforward circuit topology. Bands 3 to 5 feature constant-Q bells, while bands 2 and 6 function as shelves. Bands 1 and 7 serve as low/high cut filters connected in series with the rest.
- Processing Modes: Stereo, M(id), S(ide), L, or R processing modes offer versatility in audio manipulation.
- Display: The plugin boasts a sizable graphical display with dragable handles, providing users with precise control over adjustments. It includes a spectrum analyzer with three zoom levels.
- Scalable UI: Users can scale the plugin’s user interface to their liking by dragging the lower right-hand corner.
- Additional Features: Soft Engage technology prevents switching noise, mousewheel support enhances user experience, and A/B comparison facilitates easy comparison between settings.
- Compatibility: Available in Windows 32/64-bit VST, VST3, and AAX versions, as well as Mac OS 64-bit Intel/Apple Silicon VST, VST3, AU, and AAX versions.
This meticulous equalizer is designed to offer precision and control, making it an excellent choice for those seeking nuanced audio adjustments in their mixing and mastering workflows.
