Description
Tegeler Creme Bus Compressor and Mastering Equalizer
The Tegeler Audio Manufaktur Creme is a world-class bus compressor and mastering equalizer that combines classic analog design with modern high-fidelity performance. Built on a renowned passive EQ architecture inspired by the legendary Pultec principle, the Creme enhances both low and high frequency content with musical warmth and precision. Its unique approach lets engineers and producers add subtle tonal shaping and powerful compression in a single 19-inch rack unit, making it ideal for mix bus and mastering applications.
Many professional mixing engineers rely on the Creme to provide a polished, finished quality to their mixes before final mastering. The passive EQ section offers selectable bass and high-frequency boosts with switchable gain, providing intuitive control over tonal balance. The bus compressor features a versatile range of attack and release settings, a low-cut side-chain filter, and a selectable compression ratio that adapts to both gentle and more assertive dynamic control.
Designed for both studio and mastering environments, the Creme includes robust internal construction with an internal toroidal transformer, balanced inputs and outputs, and stepped potentiometers for precise settings replication. Whether you’re sculpting the final master, enhancing the glue on a mix bus, or adding shimmer and definition to your tracks, this unit brings professional analog quality to your signal chain.
