Plugin Alliance has been in touch about the release of the Lindell Audio TE-100, which they say is an exacting emulation of all the sweet and savory frequency treatment offered by the original Klein & Hummel UE-100 hardware EQ. A spokesperson said,
"The original UE-100 EQs are extremely rare but producer/mixer/engineer Rafa Sardina, who has 12 Grammy wins and 35 nominations, owns 10 of them. What is so special about this weird and wonderful device? For some time, hardware equalizers had to each be developed with a specific purpose in mind, requiring engineers to combine different EQ types in one signal chain in order to achieve the frequency response they needed on any given source. They would have to accept the necessary evil of the resulting phase and intermodulation distortion when treating these sounds. When released in 1961, the Klein & Hummel UE-100 Universal Equalizer changed all that."
