The Helios Type 69 EQ plug-in for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces is an exacting emulation of the legendary EQ used to mix classic sides from the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, Bob Marley, and more. Of all the Helios consoles produced between 1969 and 1979, the original “Type 69” is considered the most musical.
Universal Audio modeled the EQ section of the very first Type 69 that was used at Island’s Basing Street Studio in London. This legendary desk now resides with Jason Carmer in Berkeley, California, where it continues to record multi-platinum albums.
