Wes Audio Hyperion

_HYPERION is fully analog parametric EQ with +24dBu of headroom. It features a lot of innovative improvements that no other processor on the market provides. Its innovative design utilizes 15 VCAs per channel to provide essentially noiseless parameter changes and very musical nature. _HYPERION is next product in NG500 line where total recall is implemented through front panel USB socket or _TITAN chassis.

MAIN FEATURES


INNOVATIVE HARDWARE CIRCUIT

_HYPERION is fully analog device with +24 dBu of headroom. It’s innovative design utilizes 18 VCAs per channel.

4-BAND EQ

4-Band EQ with switchable gain range for 5db or 15dB boost or cut per band:
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 – 30 Hz to 350Hz (bell or shelf)



STEREO / DUAL MONO / MID-SIDE operation modes

_HYPERION can work in 3 different modes, including MS, which makes it perfect solution for multiple applications!

HIGH PASS FILTER

HPF with 12dB/Oct or 6 dB/Oct slopes




EACH BAND FEATURES ITS OWN BYPASS SWITCH

For easy comparison, each band can by independently bypassed, dialing new sounds in, has never been that easy!



THD – ADD COLOR TO YOUR MIXES

 THD stands for “Total harmonic distortion” and it allows to saturate your signal with beautiful analog color.

FLEXIBLE DAW / LIVE PLUG-IN control for instant recall

Stereo plugin which handles all modes of operation – Stereo/Dual Mono/Mid-Side
Mono plugin where two separate instances can connect to same hardware managing each channel separately
IN/OUT metering with clip detection
Flexible parametric EQ GUI
Plugin comes in AAX/AAX DSP/VST3/VST2/AU

Unit needs to warm up for about 5 minutes before usage as its temperature
may affect some internal variables – like frequencies of each band, and very slightly gain and Q settings.
Each band can boost or cut in configurable gain mode (It affects also OUTPUT control):
15dB boost or cut in 0.25 dB steps,
5dB boost or cut in 0.083 dB steps,
Each frequency control has predefined amount of steps in logarithmic scale:
HF frequency – 256 steps,
HMF frequency – 256 steps,
LMF frequency – 256 steps,
LF frequency – 200 steps,
HPF frequency – 128 steps.
