Antelope Audio VEQ-HLF Legendary Tube Passive Filter Plugin
VEQ-HLF is a simple yet profoundly effective unit for passive low and high cut-off filtering. It is the perfect tool for eliminating undesired frequencies while imprinting a true vintage analog soul onto your modern production.
Equipped with only two knobs—one each for passive low-cut and high-cut filters—the VEQ-HLF offers 10 carefully selected frequency intervals for each band. This unit is an analog gem from the golden era of audio hardware. While it excels at creating space in a crowded mix by eliminating unneeded spectral extremes, its true magic lies in its sound coloration. Simply adding VEQ-HLF to your processing chain, even without engaging the filters, yields a highly sought-after musical warmth that digital-only filters simply cannot replicate.

History and Creative Sound Design
Modeled after a classic unit used in world-class studios since the 1960s, the HLF was originally designed to cut hum in the lows and remove high-end hiss. However, it quickly became a staple sound-design tool for achieving popular effects such as telephone speakers, radio filters, and robotic voices. Antelope Audio’s version goes beyond basic filtering by modeling the unit’s specific harmonic response, providing the "expensive" analog weight that modern producers crave.
