HoRNet Plugins Introduces Automated Audio Equalizer.
Audio software developer HoRNet Plugins has launched BalancEQ, an automated equalizer with a single-button interface that simplifies spectral correction. The new plugin stands apart from traditional equalizers by handling frequency analysis and adjustment without manual intervention.
The system works through continuous spectral analysis, identifying dominant frequencies and applying targeted corrections across six frequency bands. These bands include shelving filters at 200 Hz and 6400 Hz, plus four parametric bands positioned at key points throughout the midrange frequencies. The plugin compares incoming audio against a pink noise reference curve with a -4.5 dB per octave slope, then makes real-time adjustments to maintain a balanced frequency distribution.
Users can monitor these adjustments through LUFS-based metering for each frequency band. The interface adapts to user preferences with resizable windows and automatic theme switching between light and dark modes based on system settings.
The plugin runs on modern operating systems, including Windows 10 and later versions and macOS 10.13 and above. HoRNet offers BalancEQ in VST3, AU, and AAX formats, ensuring broad compatibility with professional audio workstations.
This release reflects the audio industry's move toward intelligent processing tools that streamline music production and audio post-production workflows. The automated approach aims to help both novice and professional users achieve balanced mixes with minimal technical intervention.
