Classic Color
In their quest to capture unique tones and colors from the world of hardware, Soundtoys dug deep into their gear museum and found a little known gem: the Siemens W295b. It was so impressive that it became the the inspiration for their first EQ. The Soundtoys Sie-Q 5 faithfully captures the hardwareβs smooth curves, airy highs and ease of use, allowing you to get the tone you want fast, without a lot of hassle.
Of course, in classic Soundtoys tradition, weβve also carefully modeled its saturation character so you can hit it hard and get the real analog vibe of the hardware. The magic of this classic piece is now in your hands, and in your mix.
Great Highs
The stand out feature of Sie-Q, like the original, is its amazing high end. It adds space and air, and feels perfect on any track, no matter how much you boost. Turn up the High knob to breathe life into vocals, or pull it back on bright acoustic guitars and cymbals to create a silky sheen. Sie-Q is also a fantastic addition to your master busβjust a touch of the High band can add life and openness. Is your mix sounding a little too digital? Combining Sie-Q and Decapitator in the Soundtoys Effect Rack is the perfect remedy.
EQ with IQ
Like the original, Sie-Q is an EQ thatβs hard to make sound bad. One of the things greatest things about the W295b is that even though itβs over half a century old, the design is as intelligent today as it was back in the 60s. When you use it, it just feels like all the hard work has been done for you.
