By combining a Pultec-inspired passive EQ section with a high-end bus compressor, it gives engineers a streamlined way to add low-end weight, top-end sheen, and controlled dynamics to mixes, subgroups, and master channels.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eTegeler Audio CREME Competitive Differences\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCombines a passive EQ and stereo bus compressor in one 4U rackmount processor\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers switchable bass and treble boost, side-chain low-cut filtering, and stepped attack, release, and ratio controls for mix bus precision\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eTegeler Audio CREME Description\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eTegeler Audio CREME\u003c\/strong\u003e is built for engineers who want classic analog tone shaping and dynamic control in a single hardware unit. Its equalizer is based on a passive design and is intended for broad, musical enhancement rather than surgical correction, making it especially useful for adding subtle bass lift and airy high-frequency boost across stereo mixes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe compressor section is optimized for the most commonly used bus compression tasks in studio environments. With selectable attack times of 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, 10, and 30 ms, release settings from 100 and 300 to 600 ms and 1.2 seconds, and auto ratio options of 1.5, 2, 4, and 10, the CREME provides flexible control over punch, glue, and overall mix cohesion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA side-chain low-cut filter helps reduce compressor sensitivity to low frequencies, allowing bass-heavy material to pass with less pumping. This makes the unit well suited for stereo bus duties, mastering chains, and subgroup processing where preserving low-end balance is important.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith balanced XLR inputs and outputs, a wide 20 Hz to 40 kHz frequency response, and an internal transformer power supply, the unit is designed for dependable integration into professional analog studio setups.
