WesAudio Prometheus 500 Series Stereo Analog Equalizer with Digital Recall

The WesAudio Prometheus 500 Series Stereo Analog Equalizer with Digital Recall is a versatile and innovative piece of audio equipment designed for professional audio engineers and producers. Here are some key features and details about the Prometheus EQ:

Analog Equalization with Digital Recall:

The Prometheus EQ combines classic analog sound-shaping capabilities with the convenience of digital recall. This means you can achieve warm, classic Pultec-style sonic characteristics while being able to save and recall your settings digitally.

USB Connectivity:

It features a front-panel USB port that allows you to connect the EQ to your computer, enabling seamless integration with a companion plug-in. This plug-in gives you precise control and automation within your digital audio workstation (DAW).

Compatibility with ng500:

Prometheus is part of WesAudio’s ng500 product line, which includes a special connector on the EQ module. This connector allows it to mate with WesAudio’s _TITAN ng500 Recall Chassis, which simplifies the control and automation of multiple ng500-compatible modules. The _TITAN also provides additional connectivity options, including USB and Ethernet for networked setups.

Passive Equalization:

Prometheus offers two bands of classic passive equalization with a Pultec-style twist, allowing you to boost and cut within a specific range of upper-mid and high frequencies. The EQ settings are selectable for LF Boost/Cut, HF Boost, and HF Cut, with various frequency options.

Automation:

The Prometheus EQ features six touch-sensitive encoders on its faceplate, which can be automated within your DAW. It employs proprietary analog circuit control to eliminate glitches and artifacts caused by encoder movement, ensuring smooth automation without unwanted side effects.

THD Control:

The EQ includes a Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) control with switchable settings (Medium and High), allowing you to add vintage-flavored even-order harmonics to your signal for a warmer sound.

A/B Presets:

It offers A/B presets for easy comparison between two different settings, making it simpler to fine-tune your sound.

I/O Metering:

The Prometheus EQ provides I/O metering with clip detection, helping you monitor your signal levels accurately.

Plug-In Control:

The included plug-in is compatible with AAX, AAX DSP, VST3, VST2, and AU formats, making it suitable for various DAWs. It offers full control over the EQ settings, even in stereo, dual-mono, and mid-side modes.

True Bypass:

The EQ features true bypass functionality, ensuring that your audio signal remains unaffected when the EQ is bypassed.

Please note that the Prometheus EQ is designed to be used within a compatible 500 Series chassis or powered rack and is not a standalone unit. It offers a wide range of features and flexibility for shaping your audio and is especially useful for engineers who require precise control and recall of their equalization settings.
