The sound, by today\u2019s standards, is colored and gritty, with a heaping helping of good old fashioned hardware noise. In its day, it was used on many early Motown hits, and found its way into the PA racks of countless churches and school auditoriums across the USA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>A Bit of History<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The unmistakable green-faced Altec gear, and in particular the 1566A and 1567A, played a big part in shaping the early \u201csound\u201d of Motown between 1961 to 1964. Songs by greats like The Four Tops, The Marvelettes and The Supremes went through a 1567A mixer to the massive three track recorder. Ahhh, when life was simple.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2920 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pluginsmasters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1567_front-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Soundtoys Radiator pluginsmasters\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1084\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/us.pluginsmasters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1567_front-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/us.pluginsmasters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1567_front-324x137.jpg 324w, https:\/\/us.pluginsmasters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1567_front-416x176.jpg 416w, https:\/\/us.pluginsmasters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1567_front-300x127.jpg 300w, https:\/\/us.pluginsmasters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1567_front-1024x433.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/us.pluginsmasters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1567_front-768x325.jpg 768w, https:\/\/us.pluginsmasters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1567_front-1536x650.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/us.pluginsmasters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1567_front-2048x867.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2560px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2560\/1084;\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These mic preamps and mixers have a very colored warm sound and are very loud. The EQ is as simple as it gets, with one knob for bass, and another for treble. After Motown, and after much gear came and went, analog diehards began seeking out the 1566A and 1567A as inexpensive sources for real tube sound.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Motown Records Chief Enginner,\u00a0<span class=\"contentstandout\">Russ Terrana (shown here)<\/span>, used the 1567A extensively and it became part of the distinctive Motown sound. Producer Matt Wallace was a very big fan. Butch Vig and Billy Bush are also fans.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">SoundToys Radiator brings the classic Altec tube sound to desktop recording rigs, capturing the distinctive warmth and punch of the original hardware. Featuring the modeled bass and treble tone controls from the original unit, a mix control for easy parallel processing, and the saturation and harmonic effects of the original hardware\u2019s input and output amplifiers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All of these different circuit elements interact, allowing a wide range of tones to be created with just a few simple knobs. Plus you can decide if the original noise is on or off.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Over the past few years the Altec mixers have been picked up by recording studios as an inexpensive way to bring analog color and character to computer based digital recording. With producers like Matt Wallace of early Maroon 5 fame utilizing the 1567A on their early hits, and now bands like the Black Keys (who had a custom console made from Altec 1567A\u2019s) the demand, and price, for these funky little color boxes have soared.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Computer recordists everywhere can now get the Altec tube sound \u2013 on every input channel, without the hassles of interfacing to esoteric analog gear, and at a much lower cost.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Highlights<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Analog modeled tube mixer with EQ<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Independent input and output amplification stages each add their own character<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bring the sound of a Motown era classic to your DAW<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Load the transformers two different ways with the Mic\/Line switch for different sounds<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":42433,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[3339],"product_cat":[26,29,25],"product_tag":[45,34,186],"class_list":{"0":"post-42434","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_brand-soundtoys","7":"product_cat-effects","8":"product_cat-mixing","9":"product_cat-vocal-processing","10":"product_tag-effect","11":"product_tag-mixing","12":"product_tag-tube","14":"first","15":"instock","16":"downloadable","17":"virtual","18":"taxable","19":"purchasable","20":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Soundtoys Radiator - PluginsMasters<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Get tube warmth for your mix : a vintage vibe, drive, and the magic tone of the 1567a tube mixer.
