Developed by the creator of the parametric EQ, George Massenburg, Massenburg DesignWorks® Hi-Res Parametric EQ Plug-In for AAX emulates the filter curves of Massenburg’s legendary GML 8200 reference-standard equalizer. Designed for Pro Tools|HD® systems, version 5 offers new AAX DSP® and AAX Native® support, giving you the flexibility to use the EQ across the entire Pro Tools product line, including Pro Tools|HDX® systems. With its unprecedented clarity, unmatched smoothness, and excellent high-frequency response, MDW® Hi-Res Parametric EQ will help you achieve optimal definition in your mixes.

MDW® Hi-Res Parametric EQ emulates the constant shape reciprocal filter curves of Massenburg’s legendary GML 8200 equalizer — the industry-standard reference. The plug-in offers a choice of three or five bands of equalization (both versions support the ultra-wide 10 Hz to 41 kHz frequency range) to target certain frequencies, or conserve DSP resources when only three bands of EQ are needed.

Professional Features MDW Hi-Res Parametric EQ offers a number of features to help you achieve better mixes. It allows you to view the frequency grid in 6, 12, or 24 dB resolution for more editing precision.

IsoPeak® lets you quickly isolate and sweep through the frequency spectrum to find a targeted frequency. You can also toggle between two EQ band settings using A/B snapshots, copy one setting to the other, and invert the phase of a track. And when used with Avid control surfaces, the EQ organizes the bands into ergonomic groups on the channel strips.

High-Resolution Filtering MDW Hi-Res Parametric EQ 3.0 lives up to its high-resolution name. The plug-in delivers double-precision 48-bit processing for optimal clarity with natural-sounding results. It also provides high-resolution 96 kHz sample-rate processing for audio recorded at 48 kHz or 96 kHz, and 192 kHz sample-rate processing for 192 kHz audio, allowing for increased headroom, fewer artifacts, and more predictable filter curves. And with a variable Qs (adjustable bandwidths) from 25.6 (1/18 of an octave) to 0.1 (6-2/3 octaves), MDW Hi-Res Parametric EQ 5 delivers unmatched precision.

Excellent DSP Efficiency MDW Hi-Res Parametric EQ 5 allows you select five bands of EQ for enhanced efficiency on Pro Tools|HDX systems or thee-band mode for even greater instance counts. On Pro Tools|HDX. The five band version delivers seven, eight and three instances for 48 kHz, 96 kHz and 192 kHz, respectively while the three-band version delivers instance counts of ten, eleven and five for sessions of 48 kHx, 96 kHz and 192 kHz, respectively.

• Wide frequency selection, from 10 Hz to 41 kHz, with variable Q and choice of three- or five-band EQ
• Double-precision 48-bit processing for unprecedented clarity
• Emulates GML 8200 constant shape reciprocal filter curves — the industry-standard reference
• IsoPeak® functionality lets you quickly solo a target frequency band
• A/B snapshots allow settings comparisons

AAX and AAX DSP versions require Pro Tools version 10.2 or later. AAX DSP plug-in requires Pro Tools|HDX. Check www.avid.com for OMac OS and Windows 7 compatibility requirements.
