A faithful recreation of a legendary German console module, NEU-W492 by Antelope Audio is a four-band parametric equaliser plugin that shaped the sound of European studios throughout the 1980s. It combines transparent operation with a refined analogue character, delivering surgical precision and effortless musicality in equal measure.

Signature German Sound

Built upon the inimitable circuitry design of the original hardware, NEU-W492 carries its characteristic warm yet transparent tonal quality. It is particularly powerful in the midrange, adding weight without muddiness and clarity without harshness to any audio source.

Four Fully Parametric Bands

Each of the four bands features fully parametric control with overlapping frequency ranges, making NEU-W492 suitable for both subtle tonal shaping and more aggressive sculpting. The smooth, open top end and tight low-frequency control allow confident adjustments across the entire spectrum.

Mixing and Mastering Ready

With its phase-coherent operation and musical response curves, NEU-W492 is equally at home on individual channels, group buses, or the master bus. Available in AAX, VST3, and AU formats for macOS and Windows.
