FireSonic FireEQ

### An EQ that boosts, cuts, and breathes
Most equalizers only do one thing: change frequency balance. FireSonic FireEQ — from United Plugins — does that and more. It merges EQ, multiband-style dynamic processing, and mid/side stereo control into a single interface, so one plugin replaces the EQ, the dynamic EQ, and half your stereo-imaging chain. At €49.99 instead of €110 (55% off), it is the fastest route to mixes that sound finished.
### Three knobs, endless tone
The top of the interface holds the three controls you will reach for first. Depth sets the overall amount of processing — like a dry/wet control engineered around the phase behavior of real EQs. Dark/Bright is a global tilt EQ: one turn makes the whole mix warmer or more open. Magic applies complex dynamic processing that flattens the sound — lifting quiet details and taming loud peaks the way a multiband compressor does.
### Eight bands, each with Mid/Side control
The heart of FireEQ is an eight-band graphic EQ (100 Hz to 12 kHz in octave steps) with ±12 dB faders. Every band has its own Side/Mid knob, letting you boost the mid signal while cutting the sides at the same frequency — or widen the stereo image selectively. This is stereo wizardry most EQs charge a premium for.
### Analog shelves and the Sidekill low-cut
The low shelf (30–450 Hz) and high shelf (1.5–16 kHz) are modeled on vintage analog EQs, with ±16 dB of warm, musical gain. The low-cut filter (0–500 Hz, five slopes: 6/12/24/36/48 dB/oct) includes Sidekill — a side-only high-pass that removes stereo content from the bass, keeping low end mono, phase-safe, and club-system friendly.
### Mix with confidence
AGC (Automatic Gain Compensation) matches output loudness to input, so you judge tone — not volume. A/B comparison with a Copy button lets you audition moves instantly, and undo/redo keeps experiments safe. The photorealistic GUI is resizable, metering is precise, and 64-bit internal processing handles sample rates up to 192 kHz and beyond.
### System requirements

### FAQ
What makes FireEQ different from a normal EQ? Beyond standard EQ bands, FireEQ adds Magic (dynamic processing), Dark/Bright (global tilt), per-band Mid/Side control, and Sidekill — dynamics and stereo imaging built into the EQ.
What is Sidekill? A side-signal-only high-pass filter for the low cut. It removes stereo information from bass frequencies, keeping low end mono and phase-safe for large playback systems and vinyl.
What does the Magic knob do? Magic applies complex dynamic processing that evens out the sound — it amplifies quiet details and attenuates loud peaks, similar to a multiband compressor.
What formats are supported? VST, VST3, AU, and AAX on macOS (10.10+) and Windows (8+).
Do I get a license key? Every customer receives their own individual license key.
Does it need iLok? No — FireEQ activates with a license file. No dongle or internet connection is required.
