Passive equalizer
A passive equalizer with powerful sound-shaping capabilities, the RS5
Universal Tone Control was originally introduced in the early 1950s
and used in Abbey Road Studios to prepare recordings for the
record-lathe, as part of the process we now know as mastering.
Later, Abbey Roads pop engineers began using the RS56 for studio
recordings because of its abilities to dramatically manipulate sound
unlike the basic treble and bass EQs found on the mixing consoles of
the time. This earned it the nickname The Curve Bender.
Waves and Abbey Road Studios have faithfully recreated the unique
magic of the RS56, using advanced circuit modeling techniques based o
the original schematics. Like its hardware predecessor, the Waves:
Abbey Road RS56 passive EQ plugin features three bands with four
selectable center frequencies for each and six different filter types
plus independent or linked control over the left and right channels.
The result is an extraordinary equalizer that is as effective today a
it was when it was created over half a century ago.
