WesAudio _HYPERION NG500 Stereo Analogue Equalizer with Digital Recall

Sculpt Your Sound with Total Analogue Precision

The WesAudio Hyperion is a revolutionary 4-band parametric equalizer designed for professionals who refuse to choose between analogue soul and digital convenience. Whether you are a mixing engineer managing complex sessions, a mastering pro requiring surgical accuracy, or a tracking specialist needing instant recall, the Hyperion delivers high-end solid-state processing with modern plugin flexibility. It bridges the gap between hardware and software, offering a transparent, powerful signal path that integrates seamlessly into any DAW-driven studio.

Unrivalled Headroom and Sonic Transparency
With a massive +24dBu headroom, the Hyperion handles the most aggressive transients with ease, ensuring your signal remains open and clean regardless of the gain. Its all-analogue signal path utilises 18 high-quality VCAs per channel to provide practically noiseless parameter adjustments, preserving the absolute integrity of your audio even during heavy automation.

Modern Workflow with Instant Digital Recall
The Hyperion’s next-generation NG500 technology allows for instant, total recall of all parameters through its companion DAW plugin. The 12 touch-sensitive encoders allow you to record automation moves directly into your timeline, giving you the tactile feel of hardware with the precise, replicable control of a digital environment.

Musical Saturation and Versatile Imaging
Beyond standard equalisation, the proprietary THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) circuit introduces selectable levels of musical saturation—Medium or High—to add grit, warmth, and character to your mix. Combined with the ability to switch between Stereo, Dual-Mono, and Mid-Side processing, this unit serves as a comprehensive tool for sculpting depth and width in your stereo field.
