Soundtoys Radiator | Classic Motown Color for Your DAW

Soundtoys’ Radiator Emulated Tube Input Channel/EQ gives you the warmth and grit of the legendary Altec 1567A tube hardware mixer of the 1960s in a convenient plug-in. The original was used on early Motown records, gracing those hits with a hefty dose of colorful character. The distinctively green rack unit might have been relegated to a footnote in audio history, were it not for its recent rediscovery by artists such as Maroon 5 and the Black Keys. To inject classic Altec tubularity into your productions, instantiate Soundtoys Radiator.
