What it's doing, then the same passage with EA-EQ bypassed and in — level-matched, on its own faceplate — and the quick facts.

Why it exists

paragraphic EQ

Your flagship EQ is a scalpel — and most session moves are a pocket knife: HPF, dip the mud, lift the air, move on. Loading the scalpel forty times a session is its own tax.

EA-EQ opens instantly, costs nearly nothing, and puts every band on one screen with click-to-type fields. Step the panel from 4 bands (console-fast) to 12 (when it gets real). Bands you switch off cost zero CPU and keep their settings.

In the session

  1. 01Type the number, hit tab, next band — faster than dragging.
  2. 02Run it on every channel — zero latency, near-zero CPU.
  3. 03Shrink to 4 bands for speed, grow to 12 when it matters.
  4. 04HP/LP to 48 dB/oct plus bells and shelves — the whole toolkit.

Under the hood

What's inside EA-EQ.

  • 4–12 bands — bell, shelves, HP/LP to 48 dB/oct
  • Every value click-to-type
  • Zero latency · near-zero CPU
  • Hold-to-audition per band + stereo/L/R channel modes

Straight answers

Before you run EA-EQ.

Which DAWs does EA-EQ work in?

Pro Tools (AAX); Logic Pro and GarageBand (AU, macOS); Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One and Reaper (VST3). It ships as VST3, AU, AAX on macOS and Windows. The install guide covers where each format lands and how to rescan if a host doesn't see it.

What are the system requirements?

macOS: macOS 11+ · Apple Silicon + Intel (Universal). Windows: Windows 10/11 · 64-bit · VST3 + AAX. Licensing is iLok; no USB dongle is required.

Does EA-EQ add latency?

Where the engine needs lookahead or oversampling, EA-EQ reports its latency to your DAW, which compensates automatically, so it stays in time with the rest of the session. On a live input, check your host's low-latency or monitoring mode.

Can I try EA-EQ before buying?

Yes, through the subscription: the 7-day trial covers every unit, EA-EQ included, with nothing charged until it ends. Individual plugins and bundles don't have separate trials.

Do I need an iLok dongle?

No. The license lives on your iLok account and can be activated to your computer, to iLok Cloud, or to a USB key — your choice.

How do I install it?

Through the Echelon Audio Hub: sign in once, and it installs, updates and rolls back every unit you own or subscribe to.

Are updates free?

Yes. A perpetual EA-EQ license includes every update to EA-EQ; subscribers get updates and every new unit as it lands.

What if it doesn't work for me?

Perpetual licenses have a 7-day refund window from purchase, as long as the license is surrendered from your iLok account. On the subscription, cancelling inside the trial means you pay nothing. If something is broken and support can't fix it, we'll make it right regardless.
