WesAudio _PROMETHEUS 500 Series Passive Equalizer with Digital Recall
Merging the best of analog and digital worlds, the WesAudio _PROMETHEUS 500 series two-channel passive EQ offers classic Pultec-style equalization 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 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, _PROMETHEUS is high-tech with USB connectivity and plug-in control. It has six touch-sensitive encoders that not only adjust the settings of the analog circuitry, but also allow you to write real-time automation from _PROMETHEUS to your DAW. Alternatively, you can draw automation in the DAW and _PROMETHEUS will react accordingly. Whether you use it in stereo, dual mono, or mid-side, _PROMETHEUS offers a low band with separate boost and cut controls, a bandwidth-adjustable high boost, and a high cut with its own frequency selections.
New Implementation of a Legend
WesAudio s _PROMETHEUS implements warm Pultec-style passive equalization into a 500 Series module and brings with it one of the most demanded features in the audio industry-digital recall.
Passive EQ
For the low-frequency section, _PROMETHEUS provides frequency selections at 20, 30, 60, 100, 120, and 250 Hz, plus separate boost and cut controls. The high band features bandwidth-adjustable boost at 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, or 16 kHz and adjustable cut at 4, 8, 12, or 20 kHz. Additionally, there is a post-EQ output control for level matching and more flexibility.
Two Channels, Multiple Modes
_PROMETHEUS 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, _PROMETHEUS 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 _PROMETHEUS 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 _PROMETHEUS 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 _PROMETHEUS, 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 _PROMETHEUS analog device will follow. And remember, you can use the six touch-sensitive encoders to record automation to your DAW.
