🎚️ Pulsar Audio – W495EQ

The Pulsar W495EQ is a faithful emulation of the iconic Neumann W495 EQ, the mastering standard that shaped 90% of vinyl records from the 1970s to the 1990s. Known for its wide, musical EQ curves, it delivers smooth tone shaping and effortless clarity that remains beloved by mastering engineers, producers, and composers to this day.

🎶 Musical, Versatile & Easy to Use

With just three powerful bands (Low, Mid, High), the W495EQ makes mix balancing fast and intuitive. Its high-shelf adds clarity without harshness, low-shelf boosts weight without muddiness, and mid-band enhances energy where it’s needed most. Whether on individual tracks or the full mix bus, this EQ brings depth, presence, and polish instantly.
