Volko Q American Series EQs

Q American Series Digitally Recreates Legendary API 550a, 550b and 560 Vintage American Console Equalizers

The equalizers allow you to chisel your signals with surgical precision. They have a modern, easy-to-use user interface. You’ll love their aggressive structure and proportional Q feature. 

QA, QB and QG vintage American console equalizer plug-ins support VST, VST3, AU and AAX plugin formats.

We added these into our API550a Shootout so you can listen and compare them against a real API as well as the Waves and UAD Plugins
