Gold 5 is a comprehensive plugin suite designed to bring the iconic sound of vintage British consoles into modern music production. It features a collection of nine distinct equalizers, two rare compressors, and seven preamplifiers enhanced with advanced technology, totaling 52 preamplifiers within the standalone version. This extensive suite captures the essence of classic analog gear, providing producers and engineers with authentic sonic character and warmth that elevate any mix.

The plugin's development involved meticulous sampling of a legendary console from Tambourine Studios in Malmö, Sweden, previously owned by renowned producer Tore Johansson. This console was instrumental in creating timeless albums and offers a unique blend of vintage tone and modern functionality. Gold 5 also introduces the rare 8115 equalizer from the 1970s, a semi-parametric three-band EQ with a high-pass filter, known for its distinctive sound and design rooted in classic broadcast equipment. Its inclusion adds a rare and valuable option for tonal shaping within the plugin.

Gold 5’s equalizer section provides a broad palette of tonal options through two main sections, each housing multiple selectable EQ units, allowing precise tailoring for any track. The suite also includes two compressors, the 8252 and 8254, each with historic significance and renowned for their smooth, creamy compression characteristics. Additionally, the preamp emulations accurately reproduce the frequency response, phase behavior, and harmonic distortion of vintage hardware units, delivering authentic analog warmth and depth to your recordings.
