About the VEQ-5
Vintage Mid-Range Equalizer
The VEQ-5 is inspired by one of the most famous
and renowned equalizers in studio history - fo-
cussing on the power range frequencies from
200Hz to 7kHz it is aimed at cleaning up and
sweetening vocals. But it also does a great job
on guitars and keys.
Plugin Activation & System Requirements
Black Rooster Audio plug-ins are equipped with
a straightforward and easy to use challenge-re-
sponse activation system. We did our best to
make sure our system works well for both online
and oline users. By supporting USB key activa-
tion, mobile use is supported and just as easy as
permanent activation of your computer‘s hard
disk.
For detailed information about the activati-
on process and the current system requirements
of our plug-ins please refer to:

Key features
Authentic circuit emulation
Our real time SPICE type component based cir-
cuit simulation approach allows to authenti-
cally capture the sound and feel of the analog
counterpart in all nuances. Every crucial part of
the circuit, including the passive lter network,
audio transformers and amplier tube stages
have been faithfully modeled.
SSE2 optimized code
DSP operations are pipe-lined using the SSE2
instruction set. This ensures highest possible
performance operation despite very complex
computations.
Auto-adjusted oversampling for maximum audio
transparency
Aliasing artifacts are eiciently attenuated us-
ing a low latency linear phase Dolph-Chebyshev
poly-phase design. The oversampling is auto
adjusted to your session‘s sample rate to save
valuable CPU power while oering the most
transparent sound possible.
HighDPI / Retina support
All our plug-Ins support high pixel density on
Mac OSX and Windows to bring you the most
enjoyable user experience on high DPI displays.
Please refer to your manual to nd whether your
DAW is HighDPI capable if you‘re working on
Windows.

Controls & User Interface
» Power
This is a multi purpose knob: Turning it fully counter-clockwise will bypass the
processing altogether, turning it clockwise lets you adjust the linear output gain
between -10 and +10dB.
» EQ In
Engages or bypasses the EQ lter network. The signal will still pass the tube audio
ampli er when in a bypassed state thus adding a gentle coloration.
» Low Boost Frequency
Sets the low boost peak frequency to the selected point in Hz.
» Low Boost Gain
Adjusts the amount of low frequency gain between 0 and roughly 13dB.
» Mid Cut Frequency
Sets the mid cut peak frequency to the selected point in Hz/kHz.
» Mid Cut Attenuation
Adjusts the amount of mid frequency attenuation between 0 and roughly 10dB.
» High Boost Frequency
Sets the high boost peak frequency to the selected point in kHz.
» High Boost Gain
Adjusts the amount of high frequency gain between 0 and roughly 9dB.

Knob behaviour & keyboard shortcuts
Use the plug-ins settings menu to select your preferred knob mode globally, i.e. all of our plug-ins share the same
setting among all DAW applications. Choose between „Host Setting“, „Circular“, „Relative Circular“ and „Linear“:
• By default the knob mode is set to „Host Setting“ which means that the knob mode is dictated by the DAW
application. Some VST hosts allow to change the knob mode setting in their preference menu. Our plug-ins
will respect the host knob mode in that setting.
• In the „Circular“ or „Relative Circular“ modes knobs will react to circular mouse gestures and you have to
drag your mouse in clockwise or counter-clockwise direction to change a knob‘s value.
• In the „Linear“ mode you have to drag your mouse up or down when selecting a knob to change its value.
Use the knob sensitivity menu to adjust the knob sensitivity to taste. This function is only available in linear mode.
All of our plugins support the following keyboard shortcuts
