HYPERION Analog Parametric EQ – Next-Generation Analog Processing with Total Recall
The HYPERION is a high-end, fully analog parametric equalizer designed for professional audio applications. Featuring an impressive +24dBu of headroom and an innovative architecture utilizing 18 VCAs per channel, HYPERION delivers exceptional audio quality with virtually noiseless parameter changes. This EQ is part of the NG500 series and offers total recall via a front-panel USB connection or through the TITAN chassis, making it ideal for both studio and live environments.
High-Precision 4-Band Parametric EQ
The HYPERION features a powerful 4-band EQ with configurable gain ranges (±5dB or ±15dB) for surgical precision or broad tone shaping:
- High Band: 2kHz to 25kHz (bell or shelf)
- High-Mid Band: 600Hz to 8kHz with full Q control
- Low-Mid Band: 200Hz to 2.5kHz with full Q control
- Low Band: 30Hz to 350Hz (bell or shelf)
Advanced Features for Modern Workflow
- Stereo, Dual Mono, and Mid-Side operation modes for ultimate flexibility
- High-Pass Filter (HPF) with 12dB/oct or 6dB/oct slopes
- Per-band bypass switches for easy A/B comparison
- Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) saturation for analog warmth and character
- Touch-sensitive encoders for recording automation
- True Bypass for transparent signal routing
- Flexible plug-in control (AAX, AAX DSP, VST3, VST2, AU) with instant recall, in/out metering, clip detection, and a responsive parametric EQ GUI
Precision Control
Each frequency and gain parameter is digitally controlled with stepped resolution:
- Gain: ±15dB in 0.25dB steps, ±5dB in 0.083dB steps
- Frequency steps: HF (256), HMF (256), LMF (256), LF (200), HPF (128)

Important Note
For optimal performance, allow the unit to warm up for approximately 5 minutes before use. This ensures internal parameters—such as frequency points, gain, and Q settings—remain consistent and stable.
Perfect for Professional Studios and Live Setups
Whether you’re mixing, mastering, or shaping your sound live, the HYPERION is a versatile, analog powerhouse that integrates seamlessly into modern DAW-based workflows while delivering uncompromising sonic performance.
