Get the Authentic Sound of a Classic Helios Type 69 Console
UA's team of engineers dug deep into two original Type 69 "golden units," faithfully emulating their distinct custom-made character, giving you colorful flavors that will bring your vocals, guitars, drums, and bass to life.

Go Bold With Colorful Analog EQ
The Helios Type 69 plug-in gives you the original hardware's famously assertive three-band EQ, perfectly emulating the rich sounding saturation behaviors that keep radical EQ moves on all your sources sounding ultra musical, even at extreme settings.

Enjoy Thick Low-End Tone and More
With four uniquely voiced low-frequency boost filters, the Helios Type 69 plug-in injects your tracks with the same solid and wide bass foundation found on seminal rock, pop, and reggae recordings. You can also clean up sources like overheads and room mics by switching the Bass band into a fixed 50 Hz low cut mode.
