The Waves API 560 plug-in brings the sound and character of the 1967 classic 10-band graphic EQ to your favorite DAW. Through a painstaking modeling process, Waves was able to capture the precise nature of the 560's filtering nuances and high-headroom performance, providing you with the sound shaping flexibility of the original, along with all of is sonic idiosyncrasies. One of the things Sound Engineers really dig about both the original 560 and this plug-in version is API's Proportional Q, which focuses in on an ever narrowing frequency band as you push the gain of each EQ band. Along with its true-to-spec one-octave frequency band spacing, this gives the API 560 plug-in its delightfully musical character.
