The latest addition to the Abbey Road plug-in series - the Brilliance Pack - is now available. It provides emulations of the RS127 and RS135 'presence' EQs, which were key components of the Abbey Road sound during the '60s and used on countless famous recordings.
The plug-ins are compatible with Mac and Windows systems and are provided in TDM, RTAS, AU and VST formats.
Abbey Road tell us that the Brilliance Pack provides authentic emulations of the EMI RS127 and RS135 EQ units, which were built in the early 1960s to supplement the EQ on the legendary REDD mixing consoles. These 'presence boxes' were used on countless seminal recordings at Abbey Road during the '60s, including almost every album by The Beatles.
The plug-ins retain the operation and response curves from the original hardware and provide control of frequencies which can improve the presence and definition of recordings and help instruments stand out in a mix. The software is compatible with all popular DAW applications and can be used on mono, stereo and multichannel tracks.
Three plug-in modules are included:
- The RS127 Rack is modelled on the original rackmount Brilliance Control
- The RS135 recreates the 8kHz boost unit
- The RS127 Box plug-in was created by modelling the standalone Brilliance Control with an EMI transformer used to connect it to modern consoles. The plug-in features an exaggerated response or 'transformer effect' at some settings, which is due to an interaction between the RS127 and the transformer.
