Arturia EQ SITRAL-295 Transistor Tone Sweetener Plug-in Download

EQ SITRAL-295 is designed to combine several of these modules into a single broad equalizer plugin, without detracting from the original unit’s simplicity. The behavior of every component is accurately reproduced using proprietary modeling technology, ensuring the most detailed & faithful sound - and an audio experience that’s unlike anything else.

At a time when radio was accessible, exciting, and in some ways the dominant form of mainstream media, broadcasters were always looking for ways to refine the quality of their sound. These transistor-based units offered a warm, sweet output, typically characteristic of the sound of the era - but they also featured surprisingly top-notch specifications, and it wasn’t long before word reached the recording studios.

As it happens, technology was moving quickly at the time, and radio stations and broadcast companies started looking to upgrade their gear. For music producers and engineers, it was the perfect opportunity. The siemens Sitral consoles were snapped up and became the new recording go-to; Europe’s answer to the renowned Pultec and Neve consoles of the time. In the decades since, these timeless modules became part of recording history. After leaving a lasting mark on the audio world, they were gradually retired, dismantled, and lost to the elusive world of vintage gear - so the chance to resurrect them in software form was irresistible.

EQ SITRAL-295 is an equalizer designed to make sound-shaping interesting, faithfully modeled after the classic siemens Sitral modules and reimagined for modern production. From delicate tweaks to bold frequency carving, it’s designed to enliven your stems, bus tracks, and final mixes alike with precision, confidence, and charm. When it comes to EQ, give your production the class it deserves; stunning broadcast-quality presence, immersive stereo depth, and the delicate harmonic crunch that only analog gear can invoke.

Immediate presence
A couple of quick tweaks will make any sound bigger, brighter, and bolder in the mix, thanks to EQ SITRAL-295’s distinctly soulful response - or whack it on your stereo master bus for a pristine final touch - you’ll be amazed at the difference.

Authentic analog character
Grainy, warm, responsive, dynamic; all of the sonic qualities that make classic studio gear so appealing and respected, in your DAW and just a click away. Our detailed component-level emulation captures every drop of analog flavor for your production.

Immediate controls
Rather than spend ages carefully dialling in frequencies, take bold leaps with stepped parameters, authentically based on the siemens Sitral consoles’ notched controls - or you can make them continuous if you’d prefer.

Stereo customization
Enjoy bespoke stereo enhancement with dual channels that can be assigned to left and right or used for mid-side EQ processing - ensuring every frequency is on point across the stereo field. EQ SITRAL-295 can also run in mono for that focused, retro effect.
