SonicWorld Telsie S 1.0.0
The SonicWorld Telsie S is a 3-band equalizer plug-in based on the famous Siemens W295b discrete class A equalizer from the 1970s.
The W295b is known for its wonderfully airy highs and voluminous bass. Telsie S delivers this sound, along with some very useful upgrades compared to its analog counterpart!
Designed and built for the ARD (Association of German Public Broadcasters) in the 70´s, the Siemens mixing consoles reflected what was technically feasible at the time and were at the cutting edge of technology.
These mixing consoles were the direct successor for the tube-based V72/V76 mixing consoles.
Highly sought-after modules like the V276 Microphone Preamp and the W295 Series Equalizer were used in these consoles.
Siemens offered 3 different Equalizer versions: The W295, the W295a and the W295b which has the most elaborated design of the 3 models.
All these models share a low-shelf filter and high-shelf filter, while only the W295b features a mid-band with a presence/absence filter.
The W295b is still today the secret weapon of many engineers as it provides these VERY nice airy highs ….
At SonicWorld we know this analog marvel very well, as we have been servicing and racking many of these units in the last 20 years.

Now you can have that sound without the crackle of old switches, dried-out capacitors, hard-to find transistors, etc.
