The AE400 Active EQ v6 from McDSP is four completely overlapping bands of fixed and active equalization for Mac and Windows computers with Q (bandwidth), fixed gain, and active gain controls. It is designed for post production, studio production, and live sound applications.

The AE400 plug-in provides a key filter for each band and allows the active gain response to be as selective or broad as needed based on the Q (bandwidth) control. Each band can use the input signal or selected side chain signal to trigger the active EQ response.

The active EQ bands can be controlled via the response plot itself, or from the text readouts above and below the response plot. The AE400's active EQ response is determined by each band's threshold, attack and release settings. Additionally, a ratio control determines the input signal level sensitivity to further articulate how the active EQ will reach its maximum active equalization.

Peak signal text readouts for each active EQ band's key signal allow quick setup of each band's active EQ threshold, and are located underneath the band's dynamics plots. Input and output controls, individual band bypass, band control linking, and band key signal monitoring round out the features of the AE400.

The Native plug-ins provide AAX-Native for use with Pro Tools, but also includes Audiosuite, Audio Units and VST versions for use with other DAWs including Logic, Digital Performer (DP), Cubase, and Ableton Live.

Q: 4. Do other circular filters work or does it specifically have to be Nisi?

A: No, other filters will not integrate with Nisi's gear system and will be unable to be rotated once inserted. Nisi makes two circular polarizers that are knurled on the side in order to work with this adapter ring. They are the NIPV5CPL or the NIPV5CPLNC, both designed for select NiSi filter holders.

Q: 5. Has anyone used this with heavy equipment such as a Nikon D750 and 200-500 f5.6 lens? Combined this setup would weigh 7lb (with tripod mount), which is under the 11lb load rating of the mount. However I'm after the experience of someone who's actually used similar, heavy equipment with this mount, to understand if it still tracks well and is up to the task.

A: I used it with a Nikon D800 and the 200-500 f5.6 lens (with a 1.4x teleconverter) during the solar eclipse last year with no issues. I can't really comment on actual tracking accuracy with this setup, since my daytime polar alignment was far from perfect. It did seem to track reasonably well, but due to my poor polar alignment I had to make periodic adjustments.

Q: 8. My tripod does not have a leveling base. Could I mount this tracker on top of my ball head to get it level or does this tracker need to mount directly to the tripod and therefore requires adjusting leg length to be level?

A: The Model has a 3/8"-16 socket, so you would need an Adapter to reverse it to a 1/4"-20. I don't recommend doing this, and the weight could be top heavy. I would recommend just mounting this onto the Legs only.

Q: 9. Would this unit work well to EQ lavalier mics? Mobile DJ who uses them in many different environments. Thanks!
