Die weltweit präzisesten Emulationen
der legendären API EQs.
Die API® 500 Series EQ Collection für UAD-2 Hardware und Apollo Audio Interfaces bietet dieselbe druckvolle, transparente Basswiedergabe und die extrem straffe Abbildung der Original-EQs 550A und 560.

Die hervorragend erhaltenen, von Ross Hogarth und den Capitol Studios zur Verfügung gestellten Original-EQs aus den 1970er-Jahren wurden für die API® 500 Series EQ Collection akribisch nachgebildet und bieten ein erstaunlich exaktes, in allen Einzelheiten authentisches Modell dieser beliebten EQs.Jetzt kannst Du:
Auf die in allen Einzelheiten nachgebildete Schaltung der legendären EQs 550A und 560A beim Aufnehmen und Mixen zurückgreifen
Das musikalische Verzerrungs- und Übersteuerungsverhalten der aktiven Filter von API in Deinen Mixes einsetzen
Deine Signale dank der „Proportional Q“-Schaltung von API noch exakter bearbeiten
Mit Artist-Presets von Ross Hogarth (Van Halen, Mötley Crüe), Darrell Thorp (Beck, Radiohead) und Vance Powell (Jack White, Kings of Leon) mixen
550A Parametric EQ
Der 1971 vorgestellte 550A war das Standard-EQ-Modul der ersten API-Konsolen. Mit seinen drei überlappenden, parametrischen EQ-Bändern, dem zusätzlichen Bandpassfilter von 5 Hz bis 15 kHz und den individuell zuschaltbaren Peak- und Shelving-Modi ist er das perfekte Werkzeug, um Drums und Gitarren im Mix hervorzuheben.
560 Graphic EQ
Der zehnbandige Grafik-Equalizer 560 EQ ist ideal für die absolut präzise Bearbeitung deines Mixes geeignet. Die von API entwickelte „Proportional Q“-Schaltung erhöht bzw. reduziert die Bandbreite bei geringem bzw. stärkerem Hub und verleiht dir damit mehr Kontrolle über die einzelnen Frequenzen in deinem Mix.
“The UAD API 500 Series EQ Collection has the best graphic EQ plug-in out there. Hands down, no contest.”
– The Glitch Mob
“I've been a diehard API fan for 20 years. UA knocked this one out of the park. Twice.”
– Jeff Juliano (John Mayer, Shinedown, Train)
“After using the hardware, the UAD API 500 Series EQ Collection feels just like home to me.”

Perfect for rock music
I find the graphic eq to be my go to when shaping both drums and even vocals. It's a very up front eq. While The 550a is a amazing tone shaping unit for vocals and acoustic guitars...

Thanking myself for this one
Impulse bought this for a session expecting never to use them again and boy was i wrong. By far the closest plugin around when it comes to standing up vs the hardware. The 550A is wonderful...

Impulse bought this for a session expecting never to use them again and boy was i wrong. By far the closest plugin around when it comes to standing up vs the hardware. The 550A is wonderful on claps, snares, synths, etc while the 560 always swoops in to save the day when youre in need of a precise eq but want to keep things sounding natural. High end too busy? Throw a 560 on your cymbals and solo it with the lead vocal. Flip through all your monitors in mono and you'll come out the other end with some clean results

Best API plugins on the word!
Super replica !

Dope
I use this to create separation between tracks and trust me, it works like butter on toasted bread at morning time.

Guitar Players... Buy This!!!!
There's nothing like an API 500 on a distorted rhythm guitar. If you don't own this one, you're severely missing out. The gain staging is weird (I guess all analog gain staging kind of is), but this definitely sounds like the hardware gear would sound, and adds some nice, silky harmonics.
S. Muscio
clean and clear and under control
For real though, I can push the mids of vocals with the 550A more without them getting harsh. 560 is on steroids compared to competitor emulations. Definitely a solid tool in the kit.

I can't believe I waited this long
I have a ton of Neve colors in my setup (pres, compressors, and of course Neve summing in Luna), but I just got the API EQs and can't believe I waited this long. They bring a completely fresh and easy to dial in color to my tracks and mixes. Super easy to use and introduce a ton of character and enhancement to all my tracks. Having a blast with the 550A on my channels in Luna, with the 2500 on busses and master, and of course the newly introduced API summing - it makes for a totally powerful mix that has come alive with tons of character. Highly recommended!

A. Tyulenev
Excellent EQ
Good for mix & mastering
B. Palmer
Top notch
I’ll often put the 550A across every channel. I’ve never been disappointed.

Recently the best API emulation on the market
Hi
I own real 550a, and 2500, and of course UAD plugins
They sound incredibly close compared to real equipment, if someone is wondering between UA and Waves, it is worth spending a little more money and investing in UAD when it comes to API simulations.
I can safely say that they are much better than Waves when comes to API simulations, they sound less sharp, better harmonics, more fullness.
Sometimes when I mixing and it sounds good I don't use real devices but I leave UAD on.
Thank youY. Altana
Simply the best EQs
To my ears, the API 560 is THE most musical EQ plugin that I ever used!
That's it from me ;-)
