PuTec is Babelson Audio's modern, low-latency digital recreation of the legendary Pultec program equalizer — the venerable analog hardware that shaped the sound of decades of professional recordings. PuTec faithfully recreates the classic program equalizer workflow and is designed for musical tone shaping on individual tracks and buses. It combines broad tonal moves, a signature high-frequency boost bandwidth control, and simple gain staging in one view.
Selectable low frequency points with independent Boost and Atten controls for the classic low-end shaping behavior.
Separate high Boost and high Atten controls with independent frequency selectors.
Adjusts the width/character of the high boost curve to move from broad to more focused top-end shaping.
Output trim, bypass, oversampling options, metering, and integrated preset handling.
Install PuTec using your platform installer, then activate with your license account when prompted.
PuTec includes a fully-featured 7-day trial period — no credit card required. All features and processing capabilities are available during the trial with no restrictions or watermarking.
PuTec uses the Cynicos License Management system for trial tracking and license activation. On first launch, the plug-in will either begin the 7-day trial automatically or prompt you to enter an activation key if you already have a license.
PuTec stores user presets in your Documents folder. Based on current implementation, the path is:
~/Documents/Putec
User preset configuration file:
~/Documents/PuTec/UserPresets.txt
The interface follows a single-panel hardware-inspired layout. All core EQ controls are always visible, with no hidden pages required for day-to-day operation.
Understanding the fixed processing order helps with gain staging and tonal decisions.
The table below summarizes parameter ranges and defaults currently exposed by the plug-in.
| Control | Range / Options | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low Freq | 20, 30, 60, 100 Hz | 20 Hz | Selects the low frequency target for low-end boost/atten shaping. |
| Low Boost | 0.0 to 10.0 | 0.0 | Increases low-frequency energy around the selected low frequency. |
| Low Atten | 0.0 to 10.0 | 0.0 | Attenuates low-frequency energy in the low section. |
| High Boost Freq | 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, 16 kHz | 8 kHz | Selects the center/target frequency for high boost. |
| High Boost | 0.0 to 10.0 | 0.0 | Applies high-frequency boost at the selected high boost frequency. |
| High Boost Q | 0.0 to 10.0 | 5.0 | Controls high boost bandwidth/shape character. |
| High Atten Freq | 5, 10, 20 kHz | 20 kHz | Selects the target frequency for high attenuation. |
| High Atten | 0.0 to 10.0 | 0.0 | Applies high-frequency attenuation at the selected high atten frequency. |
| Output | -20.0 to +20.0 dB | 0.0 dB | Final level trim after EQ processing. |
| Oversampling | x1, x2, x4, x8, x16 | x2 | Raises internal processing rate to reduce aliasing in non-linear stages. |
| Bypass | On / Off | Off | Disables plug-in processing and passes audio through. |
The low Boost and low Atten controls can be used together to create the well-known broad low-end contour. This is especially useful for adding weight while preserving clarity.
Use these settings as starting points, then adjust by ear to match your source.
PuTec includes 20 factory presets for common instruments and starting points.
Save custom presets from the preset component and organize them in your user preset folder:
