1.2 Product Overview ABOUT PULTEC Custom-engineered and built by hand, the original Pultecs have long been a top choice of leading recording and mastering engineers. Pultecs are known for their ability to bring out individual frequency ranges without significantly altering other frequencies. In 1951, Gene Shenk and Ollie Summerland of Pulse Techniques Inc. introduced the first passive program equalizer, the EQP-1. Using equalization circuit designs licensed from Western Electr

1.3 About the Modeling Many different elements contribute to the unique sonic characteristics of analog gear such as the Pultec EQP-1A. Waves painstakingly modeled and incorporated these elements into the PuigTec EQP-1A in order to fully capture and replicate the sound and performance of the original equipment. These are some of the most important elements of analog behavior: • Total Harmonic Distortion Perhaps the most important analog behavior is Total Harmonic Distortion or THD

1.4 Components WaveShell technology enables us to split Waves processors into smaller plug-ins, which we call components. Having a choice of components for a particular processor gives you the flexibility to choose the configuration best suited to your material. The PuigTec EQP-1A has two component processors: • PuigTec EQP-1A Stereo – A 3-band passive stereo equalizer • • PuigTec EQP-1A Mono – A 3- band passive mono equalizer Waves PuigTec EQP-1A User Manual 7

Chapter 2 – Quickstart Guide • The Low Frequency band offers a low shelf for Boost and/or Attenuation at four cutoff points. While Boost and Attenuation work on the same cutoff frequency, they do not cancel one another out when applied simultaneously; rather, they create a resonant shelf. • Hi Band Boost offers a high bell boost with 7 cutoff points and adjustable Q (bandwidth control). • Hi Band Attenuation offers high shelf attenuation at 3 cutoff points. • Gain
