Brown offers a collection of meticulously crafted emulations inspired by vintage hardware originally developed for the US Army and widely used in AM radio broadcasting. These units are celebrated for their unique sonic character, which led to their adoption in recording and mixing studios across the globe. The plugin captures the essence of these rare all-tube compressor units from the 1940s and 50s, preserving the sound that shaped classic records by artists such as Frank Sinatra, the Beach Boys, Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, and the Foo Fighters.
This suite faithfully replicates the original hardware’s components, featuring a channel strip, an equalizer, a dual-mono compressor, and a preamp module. It includes three switchable dynamics processors: the authentic original model, a custom mode, and a unique 'Frankenstein' mode created to expand creative possibilities. Brown’s equalizer offers three distinctive options, including a semi-parametric EQ with high and low-pass filters, an inductor-based design with discrete op-amps, and a discrete transistor EQ derived from US-made units of the late 1960s and their classic reissues.
In addition to vintage compressor and EQ emulations, Brown features 60 preamp models spanning from the 1940s to modern designs, covering 24 line preamps, 24 mic preamps, and 12 custom preamps. This extensive collection allows users to add authentic warmth and character to their mixes, reflecting the tonal qualities of some of the most iconic recording equipment in history. Brown delivers a comprehensive toolset for producers and engineers seeking to infuse their projects with classic analog vibe.
