BAE-1023

The deal

$13.99 at KVR Marketplace (down from $139.00). Deal expires May 4, 2026.

What it is

The BAE-1023 is a three-band parametric EQ and high-pass filter plugin by Antelope Audio, modeled after the hardware BAE 1023 console channel strip. It is a direct evolution of the legendary BAE 1073 design, adding five more selectable mid frequencies and four additional high frequencies for more precise tone shaping. The plugin produces a very organic analog sound, with the ability to use the mid-bell curve directly against overlapping low and high shelving EQs.

Who it's for

Recording engineers and mixing producers who want deep analog EQ character with more surgical control than a standard Neve-style channel strip offers - especially those working with vocals, bass, and detailed frequency shaping tasks.
