Combining a Pultec-style passive equaliser and a high-headroom VCA bus compressor in a single 2U rackmount unit, the Crème bridges the gap between an unpolished mix and a radio-ready record. Designed for mixing engineers, mastering professionals, and studio producers, it delivers the ideal balance of harmonic cohesion, low-end authority, and silky high-frequency sheen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"1581\" height=\"728\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/njTxriODXsg\" title=\"What is the Tegeler Creme\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePultec-Style Passive Equalisation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe equaliser section in the Crème reinterprets classic Pultec filter topology specifically for master bus duties. By focusing on broadband low-shelf and high-shelf filters with 0–5 dB switchable steps, it delivers musical tonal shaping without phase degradation or harshness. Low-frequency boosts from 20 Hz to 200 Hz add weight and tight low-end foundation, while high-frequency boosts up to 24 kHz inject airy brilliance and open up dense arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Headroom VCA Bus Compression\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuilt around high-performance THAT 2180C VCA chips, the compressor provides transparent dynamic control and mix glue. Featuring flexible ratios from a gentle 1.5:1 for subtle mastering leveling to 10:1 for aggressive limiting, it maintains exceptional signal clarity even under heavy gain reduction. An integrated switchable sidechain low-cut filter (60 Hz and 120 Hz) prevents low-frequency energy from triggering unwanted compression pumping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible Signal Path and Precision Recall\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Crème provides total routing flexibility with a dedicated switch to place the equaliser before the compressor or after it, enabling distinct dynamic and tonal responses.
