Rupert Neve-designed analog sound with an incredible feature set
Released at the turn of the millennium with the slogan “Artistry in Analogue”, the Rupert Neve-Designed Amek 9098i Master Console was one of the highest achievements in analog console design.Now, with the release of the bx_console Amek 9099, it has become one of Brainworx’ most coveted and fully-featured console plugins.

Musical EQs with comprehensive dynamic control
The Amek 9099 has the kind of EQ you’d expect from a Rupert Neve design, with wide, musical curves, capable of tightening up enough to give you the precision you need without ever sounding “bad”. The dynamics section goes even further than the norm, with a fully variable expander, gate, compressor and limiter, complete with extremely flexible sidechain capabilities.

Unique features not found in other consoles
The original Amek 9098i was dotted with features not commonly found in analog consoles of its day. The EQ shelves feature a “Sheen” and “Glow” mode for even smoother boosts and cuts, while the parametric bands include a “Notch” mode for even more precise cuts. A unique “Ambience” switch in the dynamics section lets you easily hear exactly what your compressor is doing. And, the onboard EQ can operate as a fully parametric dynamics sidechain filter for even more precise control of your compressor and limiter.

More features than any other bx_console plugin
The engineers at Brainworx improved on a good by adding parameters not found on the original hardware: including a special “Clip” function to the limiter for super fast and smooth soft clipping; a new fully-functional expander/gate with its own sidechain filter, reminiscent of the classic Drawmer gates; and for the first time ever in a bx_console plugin, onboard Mono Maker, Stereo Width and Auto Listen control.

Powered by Tolerance Modeling Technology (TMT)
Like every plugin in the bx_console line, the Amek 9099uses Brainworx patented TMT design, to more accurately emulate the performance and behavior of a real analog console. Modeled after Dirk Ulrich’s own favorite Amek strips, each channel is emulated at the component level to provide subtle channel-to-channel variances for greater dimension, width and depth, just like a real analog console.
