Pultec Passive EQ Collection
-
Atemberaubend exakte Emulationen dieser unverzichtbaren EQ-Klassiker.
Bis zur optimalen Emulation der berühmten Pultec EQs vergingen mehr als zehn Jahre intensiver Forschung. UA gelang es schließlich die Klangeigenschaften in den Plug-Ins perfekt umzusetzen – in einer Qualität, die eine Unterscheidung von der analogen Original-Hardware praktisch unmöglich macht.
Die Pultec Passive EQ Plug-In Collection für die UAD-2 und Apollo Hardware enthält exakte Emulationen der originalen, passiven EQs von Pulse Techniques. Mit den im Detail gemodelten Verstärkerstufen „atmet“ die Pultec EQ Collection förmlich den Geist der Original‑Hardware.Jetzt kannst Du:
Die drei beliebtesten Studio-EQs von Pultec für die Bearbeitung von Einzelspuren und Bussen einsetzen
Spuren mit der analogen „Magie“ der Pultecs veredeln
Die vollständig modellierten Übertrager und röhrenbasierten Verstärkerstufen der Pultecs „ausfahren“
Schwer zu isolierende Instrumente und Gesangslinien unvergleichlich präzise bearbeiten, ohne benachbarte Frequenzbänder zu beeinflussen
Extreme Boost-Werte für den EQ einstellen, bei gleichbleibend musikalischem und natürlichem Klang
Deinem Master-Kanal diesen unverwechselbaren, seidig weichen Vintage‑Sound verleihen

Über die UAD Pultec EQ Collection
Die Pultec Story
Als Ollie Summerland und Gene Shenk 1951 den ersten passiven Pulse Techniques Program Equalizer von Hand fertigten, wußten sie noch nichts davon, welchen Einfluss das auf die ganze Industrie haben würde. Wie bei einer Stradivari wurden ihre als Auftragsarbeiten in einer Garage gefertigten Entwicklungen in den nächsten Jahrzehnten von praktisch jedem EQ-Hersteller kopiert. Eines der ersten Modelle, der EQP-1A, bringt auf dem Gebrauchtmarkt immer noch Tausende Euros – wenn man ihn überhaupt findet.
Legendäre Tiefe und Klarheit à la Pultec
Anders als bei den bisherigen, Standards-definierenden Pultec-Plug-Ins von UA, werden beim EQP-1A die überarbeiteten Übertrager und komplexen Röhrenverstärkerstufen der Original-Hardware nachmodelliert. Es reicht schon, eine Einzelspur oder auch einen ganzen Mix durch das Plug-In zu schicken, um die legendäre analoge Magie des Pultecs abzubilden. Bei diesen neuen Plug-Ins kannst du sogar den Effekt hören, wenn die Verstärker des Pultec überlastet werden – genau wie bei der Hardware – und so einen völlig einzigartigen Klangeindruck erzielen.
"Signature"-Effekt für den Bassbereich
Die besondere Eigenschaft des Pultec EQP-1A ist die Möglichkeit, dieselbe Frequenz zu verstärken und gleichzeitig abzusenken. Dies war in den Entwürfen der Entwickler so nicht geplant. In der Praxis bearbeiten die Filter tatsächlich benachbarte Frequenzen, aber der interaktive, resonante DIP-Effekt sorgt für eine natürlich klingende, beeindruckende Verstärkung, die das Signal – insbesondere bei Bässen, Gitarren und Drums – druckvoller klingen lässt.
Die Lösung für die Mitten: Der MEQ-5
Der MEQ-5 Mid-Range Equalizer ist der kräftig färbende, röhrenverstärkte Bruder des EQP-1A. Mit zwei Boost-Bändern und einer DIP-Schaltung für die Mitten holt der MEQ-5 das Beste aus dem „Power-Bereich“, in dem Gitarren und Gesang darüber entscheiden, ob sich der Mix durchsetzt oder zusammenbricht. Die einzigartige Überlappung der Bänder und die Interaktion der Filter verbessert die Lebendigkeit der Instrumente auf ihren jeweiligen Spuren, ohne den Gesamtmix zu zerstören.
Die Höhen im Griff: Der HLF-3C
Der bis dato unerhältliche HLF-3C rundet die Pultec Passive EQ Collection ab. Dieses neue Plug-In verfügt über Low- und High-Cut-Filter mit 12 dB pro Oktave für eine breitbandige Klangbearbeitung mit Retroflair und Spezialeffekten aus längst vergangenen Tagen. Mit seiner Hilfe eliminierst du überflüssige oder störende Frequenzanteile bei einzelnen Instrumenten oder Subgruppen im Handumdrehen und platzierst die Instrumente dadurch homogen im Mix.
“The Pultec Passive EQ Collection is just sick. The legacy versions were great to begin with, but the new ones add yet another level.”
– Ryan Hewitt (Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Avett Brothers)
“The new UAD Pultec Collection gives producers access to an even greater tone-sculpting pallet.”
– Steve Levine (Culture Club, Beach Boys, Ziggy Marley)
“For synths that need to cut through the mix, we add the UAD Pultec EQ for some boost on the top.”
– The Glitch Mob
“The UAD Pultec Passive EQ Collection is so spot on with the originals, it eliminated my need and want to ever own the hardware.”
– Jeff Juliano (John Mayer, Shinedown, Train)
“At last, a faithful and eminently usable emulation of the Pultec equalizers to add to my collection of go-to plug-ins.”
– Mick Guzauski (Daft Punk, Mariah Carey, Eric Clapton)
“The soulful analog character that the UAD Pultec EQ Collection gives you is absolutely astonishing. If I close my eyes, it reminds me of a brand new vinyl record.”
– David Isaac (Marcus Miller, Luther Vandross, Eric Clapton)
“I like to use the UAD Pultec Passive EQs without any boost. They’re a wonderful tool for blending live elements with synths — just by going through the virtual circuitry.”
– Armin Van Buuren
“I love the Pultec HLF-3C plug-in. The steep cutoff filters and slight combing effects are great to give things an old-time vintage feel, or a telephone-type effect on a vocal or keyboard. ”
– Joe Chiccarelli (Jason Mraz, Beck, The Strokes, Morrissey)
“The UAD Pultec Passive EQ Collection has a very smooth and analog sound. ”
– Jason Schweitzer (Eminem, Busta Rhymes, Ciara)
“The UAD Pultec Passive EQ Collection sounds smooth and lovely. Use them gently or slam them — they still sound good. Another gem.”
– Jacknife Lee (R.E.M, The Cars, Snow Patrol)
“The UAD Pultec Passive EQ Collection is very special indeed. It has heaps of warmth and a nice open clarity on the top end. It’s beautiful on vocals and guitars.”
– Glen Nicholls (The Crystal Method, Nine Inch Nails, No Doubt)User-Rezensionen

I am extremely upset with UAD for this plugin. Since I purchased it, my relationship is ruined. My girlfriend is upset that I don't spend time with her anymore. But who could blame me when you put this on a vocal?! Boost 8k a bit and bring le that vocal cut through the mix. God damn, this thing is sweet!

PULTEC PASSIVE EQ "SURPASSES"
Thought I would win by trying a less expensive Pultec emulation from another plugin supplier...wrong. Even though the "other brand" claimed to be "an exact emulation" it was so much easier and realistic with the UAD plugin. And, what I think is the strongest selling point, I was able to choose from a large number of pro pre-sets to "get me in the ball park" of where I wanted to be. The rest was a snap. Thanks UA for another great plugin!!

Musical and smooth.
Many of the UA emulations I can test against the real deal. But when it comes to Pultec and Fairchild gear I can't say the same thing. Having said that I love the combination of either of the Fairchild compressors followed by Pultec EQ. I use an Apollo quad and recently my go to single chain is the UA 610 Pre, Fairchild 670 Comp then into a Pultec EQ. So Musical and smooth.

New Pultec Plug Ins
The Legacy Pultec collection was my favorite Pultec emulation out on the market. However, that's all changed now. The Passive EQ collection certainly surpasses it. There is more size and tone to the sound. The inclusion of the HLF is something I wanted for years. It seems that with everyone wanting LoFi recordings with lots of character i can never get enough radical telephone filtering type devices that restrict bandwidth and add enough color.

This is it! You guys nailed it! I’ve test it on two mixes of the same song using only Pulteq as eq.
One mix with the legacy and same setting and the other exact same mix with the new ones. I encourage everyone to try so. The difference speaks for himself.
First the 1176 and LA2’s than the API and now those, I frankly didn’t expect such an improvement on the Pultec :-). Thanx UAT. Hill
New Pultec Collection - GREAT Upgrade
Been using the Pultec-Pro plug for years. Just purchased the new Pultec. Ran some A/B tests over the last few days.
The new Pultec has much more character than the old. You can really hear the tubes and transformers. The highs have greater definition & more air, but more smooth. The lows seem bigger, fatter, bouncier, but are again more smooth. The Q on each band seems to be different, not wider, just a different curve resulting in better definition between each band. Especially true for the MEQ-5. The MEQ is much improved & can really be used surgically now, not just to shape the mids. The HLF-3 is a nice addition.
The whole package exudes class! DEFINTELY a worthwhile upgrade! Now if they'd just have included the EQH-2...K. Hegyi
This is TOP STUFF but we need a PRO VERSION!!!

Not much difference, to my ear...
I use the Pultec Pro Legacy plugin all the time- on vocals, acoustic guitar, piano...I did an A/B between the old and new Pultec plugins on these same sources, and I must admit, I hear only a very slight difference (new version seems to maintain the low mid character of the source material, old version seems to dip the low mids a little, giving it a slight perceivably brighter sound). Overall I find them so close that I'd rather continue using the Pultec Legacy and spend my money on a different plugin. They sound great, don't get me wrong, but for now I'm good with the Legacy Pultec.
M. Olsen
Not the trump I was hoping for...
The Pultec Pro (classic) has been the primary EQ in my mastering chain for several years. I just completed an A/B test. I like the smoothness and warmth of the new set (sans lo/hi-cut). But by comparison the new EQs jointly lack the punch of the original. In fact, I'm going to be sticking with the original for my mastering work. It's just not worth sacrificing the midrange punch I get through the original.
I anticipated this would be a no brainer upgrade for me like the 1176 and LA-2 compressors were, but it's simply not. I pray to my higher power that UA NEVER discontinues the older versions. Ultimately, it's probably good to have both versions, but for now, I'll spend my dough on something else.D. Caruso
Pultec Passive EQ Collection
I found this new release of these plug-ins to be quite handy on many sources. It is quite a step up from the originals. Makes the drums shine, but they are useful on just about anything. It was a great deal and I could not be happier adding these to my eq arsenal. You cannot go wrong with these.

Killer EQ
Three great filters, but it should exist as a rack as well, likte the picture.
K. Schade
Most versatile, best sounding EQ
This and the 1176 are the most used UA plugins I own. Use them way more often than the expensive ones like Massive Passive.
Definitely check them out!S. Adams
Eggcellent, Perfect recipe.
Eggcellent Eq collection, Absolutely Love these! When i'm getting my recipe mixed up and Getting everything together. The Pultec Collection is my weapon of choice for my finished baked session.

Totally Worth It
I have found the orig Pultec was decent, but it had a fizzy texture that often just didn't sound right to me. I'm pleased that the newer models have a bigger, more refined sound, and much smoother texture. While I'm not an authority on the sound of the orig hardware, I have owned and used many clones, and the new Pultec collection sounds closer to and more interchangeable with the hardware.
I'm grateful that UA has revamped some of these earlier plugs that just aren't as good sonically as what they're capable of today. So get over it folks! They're not trying to rip you off, just give you improved options. That costs them time and money.
I'm also happy they did the HLF 3C. While not as sexy, it sounds good and is very useful.R. Fantini
Great sounding piece of gear!
Dialing in low end with the Pultec sounds fantastic ... retuning a kick drum, getting rid of mud in a bass guitar. The color of the pultec is nice, but keep in mind by default the signal gets boosted around 1.2 db, you'll have to reduce the output to get a fair comparison.
H. Tarvenkorn
Great sound
Now, I am not a professional mixing engineer, I only do this as a hobby but I am a professionally-trained musician with good ears. And I can say that this is a huuuuge improvement over the legacy plugin. The legacy version used to be quite harsh and bland in the highs. This is different now - totally smooth and "analogue", even without turning any knob. I only give it 4 stars as I would have wished for a one-rack possibility. I find it quite a hassle to load the three plugs into three different slots, then opening them up one by one to get an overview.
M. Harvey
Sounds great when it works
Doesnt work with Studio One for more than a couple of minutes. Has been a slow process over the last 2 weeks trying to get customer support to fix this problem.
If I have to choose between using my UAD card or Studio One then I might be selling a satellite sometime soon !T. Seike

Now hold on...
What's going on here? I own the Pultec Pro, and use it often. Is UA repackaging it with another module, and charging $299 for it? Is this a complete reworking of the plugins? If so, is there reduced pricing for owners of the old ones?

A very nice emulation
A very nice emulation that does exactly what it says.
