Red Queen 10-Band 3-Mode Equalizer by Lab:One Recordings is a highly flexible EQ plugin designed to meet a wide range of audio processing needs. With 10 bands and three distinct equalizer modes, it offers options for shaping sound character, performing precise corrective adjustments, and creating unique filtering effects. This powerful unit also includes nine filter types per band and multiple internal processing paths, enabling detailed control over stereo and mid-side signal components. Users can tailor their audio with up to 20 different EQ channels, which can be saved and recalled for efficient workflow.

The equalizer modes include Graphic Equalization with fixed frequency bands and resonance settings, Parametric Equalization offering fully adjustable frequency, resonance, and filter types, and Zplane Filter Equalization, which allows morphing between filter parameters for creative sound design. Each mode supports various signal processing routes, from stereo-linked to fully independent mid-side-left-right configurations. Additional global controls such as input and output gain trims, wet/dry mix, and adjustable high and low cut filters provide further flexibility. The plugin also features a unique HEAR EQ function, enabling isolated monitoring of frequency changes for precise adjustments.

Red Queen supports non-destructive MIDI automation through integration with the Consort MIDI Recording Control Unit, allowing users to record knob movements and experiment with dynamic EQ changes without altering original settings. This capability enhances creative possibilities, especially when used with the Zplane mode’s morphing features. The combination of extensive control parameters and advanced processing routes makes Red Queen a comprehensive tool suitable for mixing, mastering, and sound design tasks. Its detailed architecture offers professional-grade precision and creative freedom in a single plugin.
