The Pro-Q Precision EQ combines a clean and accurate sound and a "never-before-seen" feature set that has none of the sacrifices you normally have to make when choosing an EQ.

With Pro-Q it's easy and intuitive to create and edit up to 24 EQ bands with multiple curves. Pro-Q has a zero latency mode, but – unlike so many other EQs - greater transparency and precision is possible with the option to switch to a linear phase mode with adjustable latency. There's also a built-in, real-time frequency analyzer that gives instant visual feedback of your signal's frequency content – be it pre- or post-EQ.

With total control of the frequency curve and visual feedback relaying instant analysis of the signal processing also comes superb sound quality. Pro-Q's filter algorithms offer precise analog modeling and unlimited internal headroom. There's also a mid/side EQ option for the "ultimate in sparkle and width" for your mixes.

Such a comprehensive feature-set would usually impact on ease of use but Pro-Q's intuitive interface makes precise editing a breeze. The plug-in also incorporates FabFilter's clutter free 'what-you-use-is-what-you-see' feature so only displays the curves that are in use with their associated controls.

Ultimately, then, Pro-Q aims to offer the best of everything: functionality and usability with a feature-set and sound you've always asked for behind an interface that will enhance your creativity and give you precise control over your EQ every time.
