SonicWorld Telsie S是一款三段均衡器插件，其设计灵感源自20世纪70年代著名的西门子W295b分立A类均衡器。
W295b以其美妙通透的高频和饱满的低频而闻名。Telsie S不仅还原了这一经典音色，还相比其模拟原版进行了多项实用升级！
20世纪70年代，西门子为德国公共广播协会（ARD）设计并制造了这些调音台，它们代表了当时的技术巅峰，处于科技前沿。
这些调音台是电子管调音台V72/V76的直接继承者。
这些调音台中使用了诸如V276麦克风前置放大器和W295系列均衡器等备受追捧的模块。
西门子提供了三种不同版本的均衡器：W295、W295a和W295b，其中W295b是三款型号中设计最为精良的一款。
所有这些型号都配备了低频搁架滤波器和高频搁架滤波器，而只有W295b在中频段配备了存在/缺失滤波器。
时至今日，W295b仍是许多工程师的秘密武器，因为它能带来非常悦耳、通透的高频……
在SonicWorld，我们对这一模拟瑰宝了如指掌，因为在过去20年里，我们一直为众多此类设备提供维护和上架服务。

现在，您无需再忍受旧开关的噼啪声、干涸的电容器、难以寻找的晶体管等问题，即可获得那种经典音色。
西门子W295b和Telsie S的特点
与原始硬件设备相似，Telsie S是一款三段均衡器，高低频段采用搁架滤波器，中频段采用峰值滤波器。低频搁架滤波器的±15 dB点位于40 Hz，而高频搁架滤波器的±15 dB点则位于15 kHz。
中频段是一个具有峰值特性的存在/缺失滤波器，提供6个可选的中心频率：0.7 kHz、1 kHz、1.5 kHz、2.3 kHz、3.5 kHz和5.6 kHz，最大增益和衰减均为8 dB。
该峰值滤波器具有比例Q因子，即增益或衰减越大，钟形曲线的宽度越窄。
Telsie S插件的额外优势
低频段滤波器提供额外频率选项
除了原始设备在40 Hz的低频搁架滤波器外，Telsie S还提供了额外的峰值滤波器频率，中心频率为40、60、100、160和220 Hz。
这些峰值滤波器也具有比例Q因子，即增益或衰减越大，钟形曲线的宽度越窄。
这些额外的峰值滤波器频率为您提供了比原始40 Hz搁架滤波器更多的音色可能性。
高频段滤波器提供额外频率选项和AIR开关
高频段采用了原始设备中音质极佳的15 kHz高频搁架滤波器。此外，Telsie S还提供了两个额外的峰值滤波器，中心频率为12 kHz和14 kHz，最大增益或衰减为15 dB，以3 dB为步长调节。
AIR开关可显著扩展高频段的频率响应。您可以尝试以更高的采样率运行会话，使这一效果更加明显。
谐波功能
三个均衡器频段均具备谐波功能，包含两个参数：Drive（驱动）和Out（输出）。
Drive控制允许您调整添加的谐波量，以丰富信号。
您可以使用Out控制来补偿Drive部分引起的音量增加。
这两个参数默认是关联的。您可以使用Link（关联）开关来禁用此功能。
进行此操作时请小心，因为可能会出现极端的增益或衰减。
极端的增益不仅可能损害您的听力，还可能损坏您的设备。
对于任何潜在损害，我们概不负责。
低切/高通和高切/低通滤波器
低切（高通）和高切（低通）滤波器用于清理信号的频率范围。
例如，使用低切可以轻松减少原声吉他或人声轨道上的低频嗡嗡声，或者使用高切可以滤除高频段中的刺耳频率。
或者同时使用两个滤波器，为其他轨道留出空间。
截止频率可自由选择，两个滤波器均具有-12 dB/倍频程的平缓斜率。
X-OverS低频段/中频段和中频段/高频段
在模拟W295b上，高频段和低频段的曲线非常宽泛。这意味着在40 Hz搁架频段进行增益或衰减会对高达约2 kHz的频段产生声音影响。对于15 kHz搁架频段，增益或衰减则从约200 Hz开始产生影响。
这一特性对我们来说从未具有吸引力，因为它经常导致即使您只想在更高或更低频率进行增益或衰减时，也会产生不希望的已处理频率范围。
这时，两个X-Over频率控制就派上了用场。
它们允许您设置Telsie S三个均衡器频段融合的各自频率。
两个交叉频率控制的出厂默认值为500 Hz和7 kHz。
这样，即使您不想在该频率范围内进行任何增益或衰减，也能为存在频段留出更多空间。
（图片说明：一个标有“X-OVER Low-Mid”的复古控制滑块特写，带有白色旋钮和红色指示线，位于中间位置。一个线性字母数字控制面板，带有白色滑块和红色垂直线，下方有“X-OVER Mid-High”文字。）
这对于显著影响均衡器曲线和为不同均衡需求找到合适音色非常有帮助。例如，您可以在低频段以220Hz或更低频率进行较大增益，为人声打下良好基础，同时如果您将X-over从500 Hz降低到400 Hz，则可以在400 Hz处切断不需要的高频。
高频段也是如此。如果您将X-Over Mid-High设置为高于7 kHz的值，则可以大幅增益高频并避免增益不需要的7kHz频率。
尝试使用我们的均衡器预设，了解这一功能的有用之处！

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.
The features of the Siemens W295b and Telsie S
Similar to the original hardware device, the Telsie S is a three-band equalizer with shelf-filters on the high and low bands and a peak filter on the mid band. The low-shelf filter has its ±15 dB point at 40 Hz, while the high-shelf filter has its ±15 dB point at 15 kHz.
The mid-band is a presence/absence filter with Peak characteristics and 6 selectable center frequencies
0.7 kHz, 1 kHz, 1.5 kHz, 2.3 kHz, 3.5 kHz, and 5.6 kHz, and a maximum boost and cut of 8 dB each.
This peak filter has a proportional Q factor. This means that the width of the bell narrows the more dB you boost or cut.
The additional benefits of the Telsie S plug-in
Low Band Filter with additional frequencies
As an alternative to the original device’s low-shelf filter at 40 Hz, there are additional peak filter frequencies with center
frequencies at 40, 60, 100, 160 and 220 Hz.
These peak filters have a proportional Q factor, meaning the width of the bell narrows the more dB you boost or cut.
These additional peak filter frequencies give you significantly more sonic possibilities than the original shelf filter at 40 Hz.
High Band Filter with additional frequencies and AIR switch
The high band features the original device’s super nice- sounding high-shelf filter at 15 kHz. As an alternative Telsie S also offers two additional peak filters with center frequencies at 12 kHz and 14 kHz, with a maximum boost or cut of 15 dB in 3 dB steps.
The AIR switch significantly extends the high band’s frequency response. You can experiment with running your session at a higher sample rate to make this effect even more noticeable
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 Band/Mid Band and Mid Band/High Band
On the analog W295b, the high and low band curves are extremely broad. This means that a boost or cut in the 40 Hz shelf band has a sonic impact up to approximately 2 kHz. With the 15 kHz shelf 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 S’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.
Try our EQ presets to find out how useful this feature is!
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.
