Timbre is built on the clear, transparent character of parametric equalizers used in API and SSL-class consoles — with independent frequency bands, precisely quantized frequency and gain steps, and selectable Q bandwidth per mid band. Two independent channels with stereo link, a built-in M\/S matrix, switchable input transformer, and full automation with physical recall. Zero digital processing in the signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eParametric EQ with configurable band sections and Q\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eTimbre offers multi-band parametric equalization with independent sections: shelving or bell in the low-frequency range (Low), bell or peak in the low-mid band (Low-Mid), bell or peak in the high-mid band (High-Mid), and shelving or bell in the high-frequency range (High). Each mid band provides a selectable Q — narrow Q for surgical single-frequency correction, wide Q for gentle spectrum shaping. Gain is adjustable in precise dB steps, quantized via relay switching for full repeatability between sessions. Frequencies are selected on rotary switches — every position is exactly reproducible at every recall. The shelving network in the Low and High sections is based on the characteristic of API\/SSL-style console EQ sections, translating into clear, musical shaping without ringing artifacts under heavy boost. A discrete Class-A active amplifier between the passive EQ network sections ensures optimal impedance matching and dynamic integrity throughout the signal chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eM\/S, input transformer, DAW, and format\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe built-in M\/S matrix with encoder and decoder enables independent equalization of the Mid and Side channels — Timbre can operate as two independent mono EQs, as a stereo-linked EQ, or as an M\/S processor with separate settings per M\/S channel. The switchable input transformer (Transformerless \/ Transformer-Coupled) provides a choice of input path character: the transformer adds subtle harmonic coloration typical of transformer-coupled analog consoles; transformerless mode delivers a neutral, clean input. The Timbre VST\/AU plug-ins enable DAW automation and recall: stepper motors or relay circuits move physical potentiometers and switches in response to DAW automation. Recall is accurate to 16-bit per parameter. Timbre is available as a 500-series module (2-slot) and in the Starlight 2U desktop version with an internal power supply — both variants share the same electronics, differing only in the enclosure format and power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eStereo parametric EQ API\/SSL-style 2U with full digital integration (analog signal path)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTwo independent channels — stereo link, dual mono, or M\/S mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e4 band sections: Low (shelf\/bell), Low-Mid (bell\/peak), High-Mid (bell\/peak), High (shelf\/bell)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSelectable Q per mid band — narrow for surgical correction, wide for gentle shaping\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eQuantized stepped gain and frequency settings — full repeatability at every recall\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDiscrete Class-A active amplifier between passive EQ network sections\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eShelf section character based on API\/SSL console EQ — clear, musical correction\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in M\/S matrix — independent Mid and Side equalization\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSwitchable input transformer: Transformerless \/ Transformer-Coupled\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFull DAW automation (VST\/AU) with physical potentiometer and relay movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFull preset recall 16-bit per parameter via USB and MIDI\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eZero digital processing in the signal path\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eVU meters per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFormat: 2U desktop Starlight (alternative: 2-slot 500-series module)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eType: stereo parametric equalizer, 2U rack desktop (Starlight)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSignal path: fully analog, discrete Class-A\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eChannels: 2 (stereo link, dual mono, or M\/S)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eEQ sections: Low (shelf\/bell), Low-Mid (bell\/peak), High-Mid (bell\/peak), High (shelf\/bell)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eQ: selectable per mid band (narrow \/ wide)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSettings: stepped, relay-quantized\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eM\/S matrix: built-in encoder\/decoder, switchable\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eInput transformer: switchable (Transformerless \/ Transformer-Coupled)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDigital integration: VST\/AU, USB, MIDI\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAutomation: 16-bit per parameter, physical potentiometer and relay movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eI\/O: balanced XLR (stereo in\/out)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePower: internal (Starlight 2U)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFormat: 2U rack desktop (Starlight); alternative 500-series module (2-slot)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"WesAudio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53769655714129,"sku":"44932","price":1777.28,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/WesAudioTimbre1.jpg?v=1778757606","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/de-fr\/products\/wes-audio-timbre","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
