Universal Audio Helios Type 69 EQ

After the success of its recent Neve equalizers, Universal Audio turns its attention to the forgotten wonders of the Helios Type 69 EQ. Mark Cousins is all ears...

Price: £100.00
Manufacturer: Universal Audio
Website: http://www.uaudio.com



Although we’ve reviewed much of Universal Audio’s hardware products in the pages of MTM, the Helios Type 69 EQ is the first time we’ve taken a detailed look at one of the company’s UAD-1 plug-ins. For those of you who haven’t encountered the system before, the UAD-1 card is a PCI-based processing-acceleration system with its own suite of plug-ins, ranging from classic studio hardware such as the Fairchild 670 through to more contemporary production tools like the Precision Series mastering processors. For users running sequencers such as Cubase 4 or Logic Pro, the UAD-1 card has become a strong alternative to mixing on a Pro Tools HD system.
