PSP Datamix A567
Tracking and Mixing console equalizer!
PSP Datamix A567 models an equalizer module from the classic first-generation Datamix console. Officially approved and endorsed by Eddie Kramer - who recorded legendary bands such as Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, KISS, and more on the original Datamix consoles during the golden era of The Record Plant and Electric Lady studios - the plug-in captures the essence of that iconic sound.
PSP Datamix A567 is designed in such a way that it almost never sounds “neutral” – just putting it on a track as is, with all bands in the “0” positions, is enough to make you love it or hate it. Even with all bands turned off, there is still plenty of sonic character coming from the preamp and output sections. Give it a try – you’ll have to hear it to believe it!

In today’s market, it’s great having the Datamix mic pre and equalizer available to use on contemporary Pop/Rock, R&B, Hip Hop, Metal – where every producer/engineer is looking for something different. This is the weapon of choice!

Don’t let the simple controls fool you. Underneath the hood on this one lies an attitude we don’t see often. The ‘basic’ controls sort of beg you to crank ‘em, and in doing so you will be rewarded handsomely. The punch, grit and spit I’ve been able to get with this is amazing. Recordings these days can be so tame and I’m always having to add some personality and character to make tracks contribute SOMETHING other than just another number on my track count. The speed in which I can get an outstanding result with this new Datamix A567 EQ is addicting.

Three bands of equalization: Low (peaking on boost, peaking or shelving on cut depending on the frequency), Mid (peaking boost and notch type cut), and High (peaking boost, shelving on cut).
FAT double sampling: In PSP Datamix A567, FAT is automatically switched on for low (below 50 kHz) sample rates, and off for higher sample rates. This ensures accurate processing independent of the sample rate.
64-bit double precision floating point math for ultra-low cumulative errors in the filters and proper filter characteristics across entire frequency spectrum.
Preamp section modeling on input.
Output section with transformer emulation.
Variation of sound character via selecting the tuning of a specific channel, an average
setting, or an “ideal” setting corresponding to the precise frequencies on the control
labels.
Adjustable left/right channel tuning spread.
Alt Q mode allows for a gentler effect by fixing Q for each band regardless of selected
frequency.
Sharp mode adds pronounced resonance in the High band.
All actual parameter values, like gain and frequency, may differ from displayed values. This is a typical characteristic of analog equalizers.
