The Passive-Active Pack by Softube is a collection of three very different virtual equalizers, each with its own character and quirks. The equalizers contain emulations of real workhorse equalizers, used on thousands of recordings from past to present.

Passive Equalizer is a three-band EQ with an unprecedented clear and open sound, a warm low end and sparkling top.
