UNIVERSAL AUDIO PARTNERS WITH MANLEY LABS TO UNLEASH MASSIVE PASSIVE EQ PLUG-INS FOR UAD-2 IN Q1 2010

— Emulations of Coveted Manley Labs Massive Passive EQs Coming Soon
to UAD-2 Powered Plug-Ins Platform on Mac or PC —

Universal Audio, a manufacturer of high-quality audio hardware and award-winning UAD-2 Powered Plug-ins for Mac and PC, today announced the impending release of the highly anticipated Manley Labs Massive Passive EQ plug-ins in Q1 2010.

Working with Manley Labs, Universal Audio’s Massive Passive EQ plug-ins represent the most ambitious EQ modeling project to date, bringing UAD-2 users both the standard and mastering versions of this world-renowned hardware EQ. Specifically, the two-channel, four-band Manley Massive Passive EQ utilizes design strengths from choice console, graphic, parametric and Pultec EQs — delivering a fundamentally different type of EQ that’s beyond compare. The Massive Passive’s natural treatment of a signal lends itself to both radical tonal shaping as well as delicate vocal shading or subtle mastering enhancement.

“The Massive Passive is truly the ultimate in mastering grade EQs. It sounds warm without ever being dull; it stays precise while remaining highly musical,” offered UAD Powered Plug-Ins Product Manager, Will Shanks.

The Manley Massive Passive EQ plug-ins will be available for download directly from Universal Audio’s online store.
