WesAudio _HYPERION 500 Series Parametric Equalizer with Digital Recall
EAN: 590666029908
Merging the best of analog and digital worlds, the WesAudio _HYPERION 500 series two-channel parametric EQ offers extremely flexible equalization, precise control, and the powerful luxury of digital total recall. On the analog side, it provides high headroom of +24 dBu and two-stage THD coloration for big tone that ll help you get pro impact in your tracks, mixes, and masters. Plus, there s true bypass, per-band bypass, and hardware A/B switching, so you can easily compare dry versus EQ d or two different configurations of settings.
When it comes to the digital integration, _HYPERION is high-tech with USB connectivity and plug-in control. It has 12 touch-sensitive encoders that not only adjust the settings of the analog circuitry, but also allow you to write real-time automation from _HYPERION to your DAW. Alternatively, you can draw automation in the DAW and _HYPERION will react accordingly. Whether you use it in stereo, dual mono, or mid-side, _HYPERION offers bell and shelf modes for the low and high band, fully parametric high-mid and low-mid bands, and a high-pass filter.
Versatile Parametric EQ
WesAudio s _HYPERION implements flexible parametric equalization into a 500 Series module and brings with it one of the most demanded features in the audio industry—digital recall. Its innovative design utilizes 15 VCAs per channel to provide essentially noiseless parameter changes and a very musical nature.
Four Bands plus HPF
_HYPERION is a 4-band EQ with switchable gain range for 5 or 15 dB boost/cut per band. Each band has its own bypass. Additionally, there is a post-EQ output control for level matching and more flexibility.
Two Channels, Multiple Modes
_HYPERION can work in three different modes (stereo, dual mono, and mid-side), which makes it the perfect solution for multiple applications from tracking to mixing to mastering.
500 Series Compatible
Regardless its extensions, _HYPERION is fully compatible with the 500 series standard. Digital features can be enabled through the mini-USB socket on the front panel.
ng500 Series
Each WesAudio device in ng500 (Next Generation 500 series) product line is equipped with a special connector. This connector is an extension to the 500 series, and allows your device to be managed/recalled through specialized GCon protocol (e.g. _TITAN 500 series 10-slot frame). This extension is compatible with the 500 series standardized plug type however, some manufacturers apply enormous screws to the plug itself, which prevent the device from fitting in. Based on official research, more than 90% of available 500 series racks will fit just fine. Currently known exceptions include:
Hardware A/B
Even using _HYPERION as a pure analog signal processor, you can easily switch between two parallel settings with the magic of simple A/B buttons.
THD
THD stands for total harmonic distortion and it allows you to saturate your signal with beautiful analog color with two different intensity levels. Choose Mid for 1% THD or High for 2.5% THD.
Total Recall and Plug-In Control
Along with classic analog EQ, you receive one of the most demanded features in the audio industry—total recall. Plus, full plug-in control (VST2, VST3, AU, AAX, and AAX DSP) makes _HYPERION compatible with most, if not all, major DAWs. This total integration with your beloved DAW will change your workflow forever. Use the stereo plug-in on one track to manage all three modes of operation for _HYPERION, or use two mono plug-ins on different tracks to manage each channel separately.
Analog Automation
It s very common to want different device settings based on song sections. Now it is possible just draw automation lines in your DAW and the _HYPERION analog device will follow. And remember, you can use the 12 touch-sensitive encoders to record automation to your DAW.
