SonicWorld Telsie T is a 3-band equalizer plug-in based on the famous W695 discrete class A equalizer from the 1970s. Designed and built in consoles for the ARD (Association of German Public Broadcasters) in the 70´s, modules like the V676 Microphone Preamp and the W695 Series Equalizer were used.
The W695 is known for its wonderfully silky highs and tight bass. Telsie T delivers this sound, along with some very useful upgrades compared to its analog counterpart that make it a very powerful equalizer plugin.
The W695 is still today the secret weapon of many
engineers as it provides these VERY nice smooth 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.
The features of the W695 and Telsie T:
Similar to the original hardware device, the Telsie T is a three-band equalizer with a shelf-filter on the low band and peak filters on the mid band and the high band.
The low-shelf filter has its ±15 dB point at 60 Hz, while the high-peak filter has it´s center frequency at 10 kHz.
The mid-band is a presence filter with peak characteristics and 6 selectable center frequencies.
The additional benefits of the Telsie T plug-in:
Low Band Filter with additional frequencies:
As an alternative to the original device's low-shelf filter at 60 Hz, there are additional peak filter frequencies with center
frequencies at 40, 60, 100, 160 and 220 Hz.
These peak filters have a 3 different Q factors:
Broad (1 Oktave), Middle (0,5 Oktave) and Narrow (0,25 Oktave).
These additional peak filter frequencies give you significantly more sonic possibilities than the original shelf filter at 60 Hz.
Mid Band Filter:
The mid-band is a presence filter with Peak characteristics and 6 selectable center frequencies:
0.7 kHz, 1 kHz, 1.4 kHz, 2 kHz, 3 kHz, and 4 kHz, and a maximum boost of 8 dB in 2 dB steps..
High Band Filter with additional frequencies:
The high band features the original device's super nice- sounding peak filter with it´s center frequency at 10 kHz and an additional high-shelf filter at 15 kHz. Both filters offers a maximum boost or cut of 15 dB in 3 dB steps.
Harmonics function:
Each of the three equalizer bands has a harmonics function with two parameters: Drive and Out.
The Drive control allows you to adjust the amount of harmonics added to enrich the signal.
You can use the Out control to compensate for the increase in volume caused by the Drive section.
The two parameters are linked by default. You can disable this by using the Link switch.
Be careful when you do this as extreme boosts or cuts are possible.
Extreme boosts could not only harm your ears, but also your equipment.
We do not take responsibility for any potentional damage.
Low Cut/ High Pass and High Cut/Low Pass Filter:
The Low Cut (High Pass) and the High Cut (Low Pass)
filters are used to clean up the frequency range of your signal .
For example low rumble on an acoustic guitar or vocal
track can be easily reduced with the Low Cut, or you
can cut the high-frequency range for nasty frequencies.
Or with using both filters to give room for other tracks.
The cutoff frequency is freely selectable, both filters
have a gentle slope of -12 dB per octave.
X-OverS Low/Mid Band and Mid/High Band:
On the analog W695, the high and low band curves are extremely broad. This means that a boost or cut in the 60 Hz shelf band has a sonic impact up to approximately 2 kHz. With the 10 kHz peak band, a boost or cut has a sonic impact starting at around 200 Hz.
This characteristic never sounded appealing to us, as it often results in unwanted processed frequency ranges, even if you only want to boost or cut at much higher or lower frequencies.
This is where the two X-Over frequency controls come into play.
These allow you to set the respective frequency at which the Telsie T' s three equalizer bands merge.
The factory default crossover frequencies for the two crossover frequency controls are 500 Hz and 7 kHz.
This lets you give the presence band more space, even if you don't want to boost or cut anything in this frequency range.
This is very helpful for significantly influencing the equalizer curves and finding the right sound for different EQ requirements. You can boost for example with the low band a good amount at 220Hz or lower to give vocals a good basis and you can cut off unwanted higher frequencies at 400 Hz if you lower the X-over from 500 Hz down to 400 Hz.
The same goes for the high band. You can massively boost the high frequencies and avoid boosting unwanted frequencies at 7k if you set the X-Over Mid-High to a higher value than 7 kHz.

“Linear Phase”-Switch
Telsie T uses a special nonlinear filter design for its two crossover
controls, which we find very convincing in terms of sound,
but which has the disadvantage of phase cancellation when applied
to individual tracks of a multichannel recording, such as drums.
Here, “Linear Phase” offers an alternative that makes the phase
response of the filter more linear. Activating the “Linear Phase” filter deactivates the “Low Cut” and “High Cut” filters.
Master Gain and Parameter Bar:
The Master Gain is used to compensate for level differences caused by equalization or harmonics.
Clicking the Master Gain control resets it to 0 dB.
The Parameter Bar displays the set values of the three harmonics bands LBH (Low Band Harmonics), MBH (Mid Band Harmonics), HBH (High Band Harmonics), the Low- and High-Cut filters, the chosen frequencies of the two X-overs and the Master Gain.
