Renaissance Equalizer

6-band equalizer with multiple curve options

Transparent. Powerful. Simple. Fully Flexible.

For over two decades, engineers have reached for the Renaissance EQ because it solves problems. The neutral, unbiased sound means that any changes made to your tracks happen because you set the controls to make those changes—not because the EQ imposed its own sound on your settings.

What’s more, the clean, multipoint touch-friendly interface (with 3 different skins) is a joy—see all band parameters at once, or focus on a single band. No wonder this EQ has stood the test of time.

Choose from 2, 4, or 6-band components
All bands have multiple curve options
Integrated spectrum analyzer shows how EQ affects the sound
Link left and right channels, or process them separately
Trim control simplifies the all-important gain-staging process
“Dark” skin is ideal for video editing suites

Tried-and-True Tonal Touchup

From Lowest Lows, to Highest Highs
Unlike some EQs, no band is limited to a specific range—every equalizer band spans the audio spectrum from 16 Hz to 21.357 kHz. The gain extends all the way to ±18 dB, and Q is variable from 0.71 to 1.41 dB/octave.
Analog Curves
All bands can do the expected bell and shelf responses. However, the low and high bands can also be filters—or choose from a resonant shelf option, which recalls the response curves of vintage analog EQs.
See Your Sound with Visual Feedback
The real-time analyzer shows precisely how EQ adjustments affect the frequency response, but there’s more: hover over the display, and the display shows the frequency under the cursor in both Hertz and musical notes.
Simplified Gain-Staging
Gain-staging is crucial with EQ. The Trim parameter shows how much headroom is left, or whether it’s being exceeded. Even better, one click on the Trim button adjusts the level automatically to prevent clipping.
