Apogee Symphony ECS Channel Strip Plugin

The Apogee Symphony ECS Channel Strip combines EQ compression and saturation in one plugin tuned by Bob Clearmountain. It delivers vintage character with modern workflow features allowing you to shape vocals guitars drums or full tracks with ease.

The channel strip includes a 3-band EQ (lo shelf mid peak high shelf) with adjustable high-pass filter that can be routed into the compressor side chain. The compressor section offers selectable ratio and threshold with auto-makeup gain and a mix knob for parallel processing. Drive-based saturation and output trim enable adding subtle warmth or bold grit.

Available in VST VST3 AU and AAX formats for macOS and Windows. Includes DualPath monitoring when using the compatible Symphony Desktop hardware. Ideal for producers and engineers who want high quality analog style tone without complexity.
