一款仿照稀有传奇游戏机设计的狂野均衡器，如今已演变成一款易于使用的现代工具。

如果你问一位工程师，哪些均衡器最能让他们眼前一亮、耳目一新，他们很可能会提到一款基于电感器设计的均衡器，它的名字听起来就像是海神波塞冬的化身。这款罕见而传奇的调音台的均衡器部分，重现了你从小就耳熟能详的唱片的声音： 皇后乐队、披头士乐队、大卫·鲍伊、滚石乐队 ……总之，它是一款“经久不衰”的选择。

这款调音台仅在极少数录音棚中使用，以其极富音乐性的表现而闻名。其独特魅力的关键之一在于各频段之间独特的交互方式——只需提升一个频段的增益，即可获得在参数均衡器上需要三到四个频段才能实现的均衡曲线。

使用如此独特的均衡器需要一些时间来适应。它各频段之间的相互作用非常独特，我们从未见过如此易于使用的数字模拟效果器。因此，我们决定自行开发，采用屏幕均衡曲线精确还原原硬件的特性，使 Pulsar Poseidon 易于上手。

凭借其所有附加功能（中频/边频、增益缩放、自动增益、多种饱和度颜色），这款插件（VST/VST3/AU/AAX）以数字格式忠实地再现了这款调音台均衡器的罕见和标志性品质。

扩大产品范围，满足现代需求：

虽然原版机器因其精心挑选的离散频率而备受赞誉，但我们已将频率控制改为连续控制，并扩展了其范围，以满足现代需求。当时，低于 100 Hz 的峰值均衡需要拳头大小的电感器。

通过曲线编辑实现完全控制。

使用全屏曲线编辑器和频谱分析仪，您可以查看每个频段或滤波器如何影响声音。这种两全其美的方法将帮助您更好地理解操作过程并优化工作流程。

弧形外壳中的 Pulsar Poseidon

和往常一样，我们增加了中频处理功能，以实现更精确的立体声成像；增加了增益缩放控制功能，以帮助您调节到最佳的均衡器强度；还增加了自动增益功能，以保持恒定的输出电平。

通过多种方式为您的音源添加丰富的模拟失真。

饱和电路，包括一个以其音质而闻名的原创电路。我们还添加了两个输出变压器模拟电路，以增强低频谐波。

精确模拟带间相互作用：

我们精确地重现了原设备各频段之间的相互作用。每个滤波器的形状都取决于其他滤波器的设置，从而形成不对称的钟形曲线和独特的曲线。在 Pulsar Poseidon 中，这些富有创意的均衡器形状终于清晰可见，并且易于使用。

“A” 简史

这些调音台有着独特的历史。它们由 马尔科姆·托夫特、巴里·波特 以及制作人 罗伊·托马斯·贝克（曾与皇后乐队、汽车乐队、迪沃乐队合作）等人设计 。但更重要的是，这些调音台诞生于一个特殊的历史时期，当时音响工程师和电子工程师如同工匠般携手合作，打造出完美契合他们需求的乐器。所有前置放大器均为A类分立式设计，是Revox A77的复刻版。最初，它们计划配备Marinair LO10468输入变压器，与传奇的Neve 1073（以及所有Neve 10系列）所使用的变压器相同。

然而，在研发和生产之间，Neve已经收购了Marinair的全部变压器库存，因此他们不得不寻找替代方案，并对电路进行了多次修改。最终采用了Zutt变压器。后来，一些设备也配备了Jensen变压器。顺便一提，由于纽约市地铁系统的无线电干扰，Lenny Kravitz在纽约的麦克风支架使用了Jensen麦克风前置变压器，而不是Zutt变压器！

童年的美好回忆又回来了。

至于均衡器，我们做出了一些简单而巧妙的选择，以最大限度地降低背景噪音。一个有趣的技巧是使用两个并联的均衡器，并尽可能减少频段间的串扰，从而降低输出阻抗。这个意外的惊喜让两个频段之间产生了美妙的音乐互动，最终造就了出色的均衡器效果。这个秘诀对无数热门唱片产生了积极的影响，赋予了它们饱满而丰富的音色。

曾在这台调音台上录音的乐队包括 皇后乐队、披头士乐队、金属乐队、大卫·鲍伊、滚石乐队、埃尔顿·约翰……

得益于 Pulsar Audio 的精湛技术，您现在可以重现并重现那些创造音乐历史的唱片的独特声音——所有这一切都通过现代化的界面和功能实现，让您可以将这台设备集成到您的 DAW 中并驾驭它。

A wild equalizer, created on the model of a rare and legendary console, has turned into an easy-to-use modern tool.

Ask an engineer to list the equalizers that make their eyes and ears light up, and they’ll likely mention an inductor-based design with a nautical name that conjures up images of the god Poseidon. The EQ section of this rare and legendary console reproduced the sound of records you probably grew up on: Queen, The Beatles, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones … Let’s just say it’s a “time-tested” option.

Featured in very few studios, this console is renowned for its highly musical performance. One of the key components of its mojo is the unique interaction of the bands—increasing the gain of one band can create EQ curves that would otherwise require three or four bands on a parametric EQ.

Using such a unique equalizer takes time to get used to. The interaction between its bands is so unique that we’ve never seen a digital reproduction that was so easy to use. So, we decided to create our own, using an on-screen equalizer curve that accurately reproduces the characteristics of the original hardware, making the Pulsar Poseidon easy to master.

With all its extra features (mid/sidebands, gain scale, auto gain, multiple saturation colors), this plugin (VST/VST3/AU/AAX) faithfully reproduces the rare and iconic qualities of this console EQ in digital format.

EXPANDED RANGE FOR MODERN NEEDS:

While the original machine is highly regarded for its carefully selected discrete frequencies, we’ve made the frequency controls continuous and expanded their range to meet modern requirements. At the time, peak EQ below 100 Hz would have required fist-sized inductors.

Complete control with CURVE EDITING.

See how each band or filter affects the sound with the full-screen curve editor and spectrum analyzer. This best-of-both-worlds approach will allow you to better understand what you’re doing and optimize your workflow.

As usual, we’ve added midrange processing for more precise stereo imaging, a gain-zoom control to help you dial in the optimal EQ intensity, and an auto gain function that maintains a constant output level.

Add rich analog distortion to your sources with several

saturation circuits, including an original circuit renowned for its tonal quality. We’ve also added two output transformer emulations to enhance low-frequency harmonics.

ACCURATE MODELING OF BAND INTERACTION:

We’ve accurately recreated the interactions between the bands of the original device. The shape of each filter depends on the settings of the others, resulting in asymmetrical bells and exotic curves. In Pulsar Poseidon, these creative EQ shapes are finally visible and easy to use.

“A” A Long History in a Nutshell

These consoles have a unique history. They were designed by Malcolm Toft, Barry Porter , and, among others, producer Roy Thomas Baker (Queen, The Cars, Devo) . But more importantly, these consoles emerged at a specific moment in history, when sound engineers and electronic engineers worked hand in hand, almost like artisans, to create instruments perfectly suited to their needs. The preamps are all Class-A and discrete, and are clones of the Revox A77. Originally, they were to be equipped with Marinair LO10468 input transformers, the same as those found in the mythical Neve 1073 (and all Neve 10-series).

However, between development and production, Neve had already purchased Marinair’s entire stock of transformers, so they were forced to look for an alternative, making several changes to the circuit. Zutt transformers were ultimately used. Later, some units were also equipped with Jensen transformers. Incidentally, Lenny Kravitz’s New York stand used Jensen microphone pretransformers instead of Zutt ones due to radio interference from the New York City train system!

The magic of your childhood returns.

As for the equalizers, simple yet thoughtful choices were made to minimize background noise. One interesting trick involved using two parallel equalizers with peaking and minimal crosstalk between the bands, which helps reduce output impedance. This happy accident resulted in excellent equalizers due to the musical interaction between the bands. This secret equalizer formula has positively impacted countless hit records, providing a rich and full-bodied tone.

Bands that have recorded on this console include Queen, The Beatles, Metallica, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, Elton John…

Thanks to the mastery of Pulsar Audio, you can now recreate and bring back the unique sound of records that have made music history—all with a modern interface and features that let you integrate and tame this beast in your DAW.
