Pulsar Audio has released Pulsar 8200, an emulation of the legendary GML 8200 designed by George Massenburg, with all the features you’d expect from an EQ plugin.
Pulsar Audio claim the Pulsar 8200 is a component-accurate model of the original unit, giving you a tight and punchy low end, a crystalline high end, and surgical control over the frequency spectrum. Its parallel topology, coupled with unique filtering shapes, allows an intuitive and unique spectrum shaping, resulting in smooth curves, and a more natural result compared to classic digital EQ, maintaining its own “analog personality”.
Pulsar 8200 comes with a complete on-screen curve editor and spectrum analyzer. This best-of-both-worlds approach gives an accurate overview of your EQ changes while highlighting the singular behaviours of the original unit.
The built-in de-esser helps to achieve a polished result by removing sibilance and harshness as part of your EQ process. Frequency, Amount and Band Type controls allow you to tame aggressive vocal sibilance or control high-frequency transients in overheads.
In addition to emulating the hardware, Pulsar have also added high and low-cut filtering, a Tilt filter to adjust the overall tonal balance of the entire spectrum, and Air and Sub bands to operate at the extreme ends of the audio range.
