The Waves RS56 Passive Equalizer Plug-In is developed in association with Abbey Road Studios. Based on the legendary RS56 Universal Tone Control passive EQ, it features advanced circuit modeling techniques based on the original schematics.
The Waves RS56 Passive Equalizer Plug-In is a passive equalizer with powerful sound-shaping capabilities faithfully recreated in association. The RS56 Universal Tone Control was originally introduced in the early 1950s and used in Abbey Road Studios to prepare recordings for the record-lathe, as part of the process you now know as “mastering.” Later, Abbey Road’s pop engineers began using the RS56 for studio recordings because of its abilities to dramatically manipulate sound – unlike the basic treble and bass EQs found on the mixing consoles of the time. This earned it the nickname “The Curve Bender.”
Waves and Abbey Road Studios have faithfully recreated the unique magic of the RS56, using advanced circuit modeling techniques based on the original schematics. Like its hardware predecessor, the Waves: Abbey Road RS56 passive EQ plugin features three bands with four selectable center frequencies for each and six different filter types, plus independent or linked control over the left and right channels. The result is an extraordinary equalizer that is as effective today as it was when it was created over half a century ago.

The RS56 from Waves washed my mixes clean!
May 3rd 2015An exceptionally well crafted plug in that is so meticulously modelled on its original (that I've had the pleasure of working with) that I just had to buy it, having missed out on the official Waves special sale. Glad to see Frontend had a few licenses left at the same special price. This is a go-to and a must for every engineer!
