Product Overview
The 6020 Ultimate EQ Native v7 represents McDSP's evolution of a modular equalizer system built on decades of analog circuit design expertise. This upgrade for v6 owners provides access to ten distinct EQ modules, each engineered to emulate the sonic characteristics of classic and contemporary equalizer designs.
The collection spans from the gentle, musical character of the E670 - inspired by the Fairchild 664's two-band architecture - to more surgical tools like the E300 and E301, which prioritize utility and precision across three bands. The all-tube Moo Q delivers the warmth and headroom associated with vintage designs, while the iQ offers a deliberately minimal two-band approach for transparent tone shaping. Each module maintains independent gain and frequency controls, balancing simplicity with the sophistication demanded by professional mixing environments.
What distinguishes the 6020 from broader EQ collections is McDSP's focus on coherence within the plugin ecosystem. These modules integrate seamlessly with the broader 6060 Ultimate Module Collection, allowing engineers to build complementary processing chains that work together rather than against each other. The parametric and shelving designs favor subtle, musical interventions rather than aggressive correction.
This upgrade suits mix engineers and mastering professionals who value sonic character alongside technical control. It's particularly valuable for those already invested in McDSP's modular framework, where the 6020 functions as a natural complement to compression and dynamics modules. The variety ensures most mixing scenarios - from broad tonal shaping to precise midrange surgery - can be addressed with an appropriate module rather than forcing one design to serve every purpose.
