PSP E27 Operation Manual 5
PSP E27 Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the PSP E27!
The PSP E27 is a multistage equalizer plug-in inspired by the analog equalizer E27 produced by
Avedis Audio Electronics. It features three-band equalization with +/-16dBs of boost/cut at
musicially selected frequencies having gentle saturation. Low and high frequency filters can work
in bell or shelf mode with a single click. There is also an additional preamp stage for global level
control, and a selectable high-pass filter. The PSP E27 plug-in captures the non-linear behavior of
analog circuitry and is suitable for both mixing and mastering.

PSP E27 Operation Manual 6
Avedis E27
The E27 was created to fill the need for a high quality modular equalizer. High performance,
versatility, ease of use, and simplicity is at the core of the E27’s design. Some of the best analog
gear from the past was the inspiration for its characteristic sound. Outstanding quality and most
suitable parts are used throughout – gold-plated switches, high performance capacitors, high-
quality transformers, and custom machined aluminum knobs.
Today’s engineers deal with many different types of recording equipment from older high-end
analog gear to the newest digitally controlled recording equipment. With this in mind, the E27 can
interface easily with many types of gear including balanced or unbalanced sources, high or low
impedance loads, even unbalanced loads.
The level knob controls up to 16 db’s of cut and boost but for those who only need a few db’s, the
travel of the pot starts slow and speeds up at the extremes giving the user more fine control at levels
of 6 db’s or less. Knob positions are not only easy to see from a distance but are also felt – the level
pot knob has a small point so you know where you are without looking at the eq. The outer
frequency control knob has a knurl texture for ease of grip.

E27
E27 has three band sections and one control section.
IN
Click on the IN button to process sound through the E27 Module. The button
state is indicated by the red LED. When the E27 filters are disabled, sound is
still processed through some parts of the analog-modeled circuit. Keep in
mind that digital bypass can only be enabled in the main panel section (check
BPS and Power controls).
LS
The Low Shelf button is located on the left side of the E27. Click on this
button to engage the shelf filter characteristic instead of the bell filter
characteristic. Low shelf mode is available for five different frequencies:
63/82/120/200/300 Hz.
HS
The High Shelf button is located between IN and Low Shelf buttons. Click
on this control to engage the shelf characteristic for the high band filter (all
nine frequencies).
Filter knobs
Click on the red (internal) part of the knob and drag (or scroll) to set the
desired gain level: from -16 dB (cut) to +16 dB (boost) per band. Scrolling
increases or decreases gain at +- 1dB. Double click on the gain knob to
return a band to its default value (0dB). Hold the shift key while adjusting for
more precise scrolling.
Click and drag (or scroll) to move the external part of the knob.
Alternatively, click on the description of the desired frequency control. Click
on the OFF label to turn off the filter. Click a second time on OFF to set the
filter to the last used frequency.

boost in audible bands.
Polarity
Click to change the polarity on the current channel. This button engages a
special algorithm with less noise and clicks than the normal algorithm .
TrafoX
Click to bypass input and output transformers in the channel chain. It
disables the harmonics production typical for audio transformers. There is
only one input and output transformer per PSP E27 plug-in instance.

Tips and Tricks
Filter dependency
Filters within a single E27 module are interdependent and they affect on each other, due to the
hardware‘s internal construction and the relationship between capacitors and other electronical
elements. The difference between sound on the left and right setting is gentle, but audible (about
1dB).

Linearity
Enable TrafoX and AmpX buttons to disable the non-linear behaviour of PSP E27. This is the
easiest way to get rid of distortion. This option is especially useful for mastering if there is a need to
work on bands with clean linear filters. Keep in mind that the filters‘ characteristics and
interdependency won‘t change.

Bypass
There are different types of bypass buttons in PSP E27 plug-in (in descending order):
•Power – disables the main audio processing. Even when the Power is disabled, the E27
keeps oversampling to prevent unpleasant clicks.
•BPS – works similarly to the Power button, but this refers to one (or both) of the channels.
