Waves API 560
10-Band Equalizer Plugin
Punch, Clarity, Transparency - Shape Tone Fast with an EQ Classic
API 560’s proportional-Q filter topology is known for its smooth, forgiving sound. For mic overheads, pianos, guitars, and other complex sound sources that need clear, transparent, well-defined tone-shaping, the 560 makes EQing fast and easy.
Created in association with API, this high-end equalizer is all about using a traditional graphic interface to make broad equalization changes - all while sounding natural and musical.
