The Falcon Air EQ from Safari Audio is a specialised plug-in designed for the very area where many productions stand or fall: the highs. When vocals need more air, snares need to sound brighter and more expensive, or a mix needs to sound open at the top end without sounding harsh, this tool really comes into its own. Instead of boosting harshly, Falcon Air EQ delivers smooth, elegant treble boost with control, making the sound feel bigger, more refined and more modern.
Falcon Air EQ’s approach is clear: more brilliance without harshness. The plug-in was designed to add sparkle and presence to the upper frequency range without introducing unpleasant harshness. This is particularly valuable for pop vocals, trap snares, acoustic guitars, cinematic pads or the entire mix bus, because whilst many EQs deliver high frequencies, they can quickly become aggressive or thin.
Falcon Air EQ does exactly the opposite. The sound remains silkier, rounder and of higher quality, even when you boost significantly.
One of the most powerful features is the built-in de-esser. It works directly with the Air concept and helps to automatically control harsh sibilants and biting peaks, whilst the voice remains open and present. This is particularly useful for vocals, as you don’t have to stack multiple plug-ins to achieve both brilliance and control at the same time.
In day-to-day use, this saves time and makes Falcon Air EQ a very fast tool for productions that need to sound good straight away.
With Air Gain, you can boost or cut the selected range. Using Frequency, you can precisely determine where in the high-frequency range the adjustment should take place. This allows you to fine-tune the character from a subtle shimmer to a more pronounced presence.
Air Drive complements the high-frequency processing with a gentle saturation. This makes the top end not only brighter, but also slightly smoother and more musical. This is often the subtle difference between a simple EQ boost and a sound that truly sounds refined.
The Blend control makes parallel processing particularly easy. It allows you to seamlessly blend the processed signal with the original and find the perfect balance between naturalness and brilliance. Auto Gain helps to even out loudness fluctuations, so you can make decisions based on sound rather than level. Added to this is oversampling, which reduces aliasing and keeps the audio quality clean, especially when Air Drive and more aggressive processing are in play.
Falcon Air EQ runs in all major DAWs, supports AU, VST3 and AAX on Mac and PC, and is supplied as a perpetual licence. The download is available immediately after purchase; the licence is yours to keep permanently and future updates are also included. Once activated, no permanent internet connection is required, making the plug-in pleasantly straightforward for everyday studio use.
This plug-in is ideal for producers, mixers and creators who frequently work with vocals, modern drums, acoustic signals or mixes where brilliance is critical. When high frequencies often end up sounding either too tame or too harsh, Falcon Air EQ is exactly the kind of tool you’ll quickly integrate into your workflow.
