One window, whole job

One EQ for correction, movement and finish

Start with a modern analyzer-based EQ, add character per band, let dynamic moves react only when the music needs it, then finish with resonance control, optional analog color and honest level-matched comparison.

01

Start from a truthful level

Input and output trim, live peak meters, analyzer range and peak hold make the source easy to judge before any tone move changes the mix.

02

Shape the tone and choose the feel

Use bell, shelves, filters, notch, tilt or brickwall moves, then choose Clean, Brit-A, Tube-P, US-D or Glass character per band.

03

Let the EQ react to the performance

Enable DYN on a band and it moves only when the detector hears the problem, so boom, harshness and masking get controlled without flattening the whole take.

04

Tame harsh peaks before they distract

The spectral suppressor follows narrow ringing peaks across the full spectrum, with delta listen so you can hear exactly what is being removed.

05

Add color, width and low-end control

Analog Color adds oversampled saturation when you want hardware feel; Width, Bass Mono and Mix let the result sit naturally in the record.

06

Compare without loudness tricks

Auto Gain, A/B states, undo history, soft bypass and latency-compensated dry/wet blend help you judge tone, not volume.

Interface focus

Control the mix without losing the song

OBSIDIAN Dynamic EQ panel for band 5
Dynamic EQ A band moves only when the detector asks for it.

Threshold, range, attack, release and DOWN/UP mode can use the internal signal or an external sidechain, with gain reduction visible in the panel.

OBSIDIAN filter type and per-band analog model panel
Filter type + model Each EQ band gets its own shape and circuit behavior.

Bell, shelves, filters, notch, tilt and brickwall choices pair with Clean Digital, Brit Class-A, Tube Program, US Discrete or Glass Bus models.

OBSIDIAN Resonance Suppressor spectral dynamic resonance taming panel
Resonance Suppressor Spectral peak control with delta listen.

The 2048-point detector hunts narrow harsh or boxy peaks; depth, selectivity, sharpness and speed control how assertively they are reduced.

OBSIDIAN Analog Color panel with VU meter, drive, warmth, bias and character models
Analog Color Oversampled final color after the EQ.

Drive, warmth and bias feed American, British, Modern or Tube characters, with Vintage Variance for component drift and tolerance behavior.

01

Replace a stack of EQ tools

Clean surgical EQ, dynamic control, resonance taming and analog finish live in one designed signal path, so you spend less time balancing separate plug-ins.

02

Character where it actually matters

Use pure digital precision on one band, broad tube weight on another and Glass air on the top. The sound is chosen per move, not globally.

03

Dynamic moves that keep the take alive

The detector listens around the band frequency and Q, so the EQ catches the bad moments without cutting the good parts all the time.

04

Mastering moves without frozen controls

Linear phase mode keeps phase shift out of the static EQ curve and morphs smoothly while audio plays, avoiding clicky rebuilds when you adjust.

05

Stereo fixes per band

De-ess the center, open only the sides, mono the lows or repair a one-sided resonance with Stereo, Mid, Side, Left or Right placement.

06

A color stage that can stay subtle

American, British, Modern and Tube characters cover punch, grit, hi-fi glue and vintage depth, with Vintage Variance for gentle hardware asymmetry.
