Description

BAE-1023 is a vintage EQ allowing for even deeper control over the mid and high-frequency range. It will add true analog punch and detail to your production no matter if you’re using it when tracking, mixing, or mastering.

Ever felt like the BAE-1073 sounded ace but didn’t offer enough control? Well, BAE 1023 is here to save the day. This authentically modeled high-grade analog EQ offers five more frequencies in the mid-range and four in the highs. The expanded mid and high-frequency settings of the EQ allow for even more versatility. The unit is especially useful when adding extra juice to distorted guitars and female vocals. It’s perfect for adding some extra air to the overheads as well.

BAE-1023’s highs are exclusively smooth and tasty. The EQ does its magic not only when used on individual instruments but on whole mixes as well. The EQ lets you use the mid bell curve directly against the low and high shelving EQs where they overlap. High frequencies can be boosted or cut in shelving mode, and the mids are EQ’d in peaking mode.

Highlights

  • The same analog circuitry from legendary BAE-1073
  • Additional depth when shaping mids & highs
  • Expanded versatility and tone-shaping control for individual instruments or full mixes
  • Low & High Range: +/-16dB shelving with selectable frequencies
  • Mid Range: +/-12dB or +/-18dB peaking with switchable frequency
  • HPF with 18dB per octave slope, switchable between 45Hz, 70Hz, 160Hz & 360Hz

    Bog Standard Digital EQ

    Its a basic digital EQ with "Neve-ish" curves. I'm really disappointed in this one as it was an attempt at an entry into Antelope's library. Zero harmonics, completely clean digital EQ. No meters either. If you want a cheap entry into Neve channels try the Lindell 80, Purafied's 538 or Noiseash 533 on sale. The 533 is a great EQ and the 538 is really fun, if a bit wild.

    I had thought the age of this shenaniganry was over and demos are only available by signing up to demo the entire library (no thanks) on a 7 day 'free trial'. Its a trip back to the twenty-teens when companies could get away with this mixed in with a cumbersome demo and registration process that feels like a poorly implemented UAD Spark. Wanted to like this, glad it was only a few dollars and not full price. Don't bother. I will not be looking into Antelopes library in the future either. I own way to many EQ's to purchase stock EQ skins.

    Nice EQ curves, and functionality, but pretty clean

    Excellent that it's got more frequency points - for the high shelf, the range actually goes a lot lower on the spectrum than the center frequency, due to the wide curve, so even 24 will affect air.

    The Line input is clean gain. Which is not bad in itself, but I would have preferred a little mojo, too, beyond just the curves.

    Very good complement to the Neve pre, and other pres that don't have hp filters.
