PG Passive EQ
PG Passive EQ is an AAX audio plugin for Avid Pro Tools that provides passive equalization modeled after classic analog hardware EQ curves. It is designed for mixing and mastering engineers who want to apply vintage-style tonal shaping within the Pro Tools digital audio workstation. The plugin emulates the characteristics of passive equalizers without requiring active circuitry simulation.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionPG Passive EQ is an AAX plugin for Pro Tools, not a standalone application, so it is updated through Positivegrid's installer rather than separately. To get a native Apple Silicon build, you will need to (1) ensure Pro Tools itself is on version 2023.6 or newer, which is when Avid shipped native Apple Silicon support — older Pro Tools versions cannot load native AAX plugins and will reject them; (2) visit Positivegrid's website and download the current native macOS installer for PG Passive EQ, which will install or update the plugin in Pro Tools' plugin directories. If Positivegrid has not yet released a native Apple Silicon build of this plugin, check their product page or contact their support to ask when one is planned — AAX plugins must ship as native arm64 binaries to run on Apple Silicon, and an Intel-only build will stop loading on Pro Tools when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028).
