Low Shelves for Huge Bottom End
The W295 was justly famous for its ability to create big yet tight bass sounds. The secret is musical EQ curves and transformer saturation.
A legendary equalizer, painstakingly re-created to be as musical and responsive as the original hardware.

My new fave EQ, didn’t even think I needed another in my toolbox but wow, this thing rocks. Tone for days, style for miles. Can’t wait to see what these guys come up with next.
I got this plugin and immediately put it on the master buss for a live jazz record I was finishing up. I would suggest adjusting the input and output transformers, and the amplifier first. This really helped me bring focus to the overall picture and minimize the amount of EQ I needed afterwards. It worked so well that I used it a couple days later on the master buss for a live rock record. It did the trick there as well. Definitely not just another EQ! I like the W295b module best.
Thank you!!
My dear old 295a has come back in digital form and feeling as alive and real and plain gorgeous – what a feat indeed and i can only guess how much blood sweat and tears it took you to get there.
After many years with the 295a, a Filtek EQ, Siemens V276 and TAB V672 preamps and TAB U273 compressor I’ve come to believe that those Haufe transformers (that seem to prevail throughout) are a big part of the magic. The way the lend definition to the ‘body’ of a vocal and a shimmer/glow at the same time is just ever so musical.
For example on a track with vocals and various acoustic instruments, just a tab of compression while tracking but all massaged with your Sitral, the way the elements dance and intermingle, seem to come alive from nowhere etc is way beyond the (fabulous) glue factor IMO and the ultimate seal of REAL. Folks, use less compression, more mic technique and SITRAL/Haufe glue…
So a double extra kudos for the obvious superlove you put in to get the transformers just so – (and all the expanded ITB possibilities of driving and shaping those little symphonies of harmonics to taste)!
Good people, if you have a Beyerdynamic M88 and this EQ there’s no more excuses – go under a bridge and scream until the vocal is happening.
With my heartfelt congratulations, this is a gift – and I’ve totally forgotten to mention the drop-alive gorgeous EQ cousins – thank you and keep up the glory!

Best 295 plugin out there, superior to all competitors!
I didn’t think I was in the market for yet another EQ, but then I demo’d SITRAL.
This thing is magical. Try it on overheads – it sounds more like adjusting faders for kit pieces than just boosting an EQ range. I put it head-to-head with the competition, and this is on another level.
I went deep on the analog modeling with SITRAL, and you can feel it. Crank the input, lean into the EQ, slam the output. It doesn’t fall apart or get ugly. Just like the real thing.”
Korneff Audio’s SITRAL W295 EQs are truly awesome. I’ve been incorporating them into my workflow and I love what they do to guitars and vocals in particular. They have tons of great midrange character without sounding harsh. I also love the impeccably detailed modeling of every step of the circuit and the option to tweak every variable down to the transformers. The W295 EQ is the type of plugin that’s hard to make sound bad. Korneff Audio knocked it out of the park!
This plug-in made me want to overuse it as soon as I started playing with it, in a good way. It sounds so good and reminds me of the strange sounding hifi electronics we used to hotrod to use in the studio. Loads of fun, and really is its own thing.

I love this thing. I’m already using your SITRAL all over the place and replacing various other EQ’s. Super straightforward to use and, like all of your plugins, the interface is a pleasure to tweak.
Been reaching for the new Korneff SITRAL EQ a lot — it’s officially my go-to for electric guitars. It already sounded great, but they really took it to another level with the tilt and transformers/ saturation features. Effortless tone, every time.
Finally!! Been using the beta in secret all this year. Just an awesome sound unlike anything else I have. Love the midrange and the top is so pleasing.
I don’t think it possible to be disappointed with this SITRAL eq.
