Tegeler Audio CREME is a stereo bus compressor and passive mastering equalizer designed for professional studio applications. By combining a Pultec-inspired passive EQ section with a high-end bus compressor, it gives engineers a streamlined way to add low-end weight, top-end sheen, and controlled dynamics to mixes, subgroups, and master channels.
The Tegeler Audio CREME is built for engineers who want classic analog tone shaping and dynamic control in a single hardware unit. Its equalizer is based on a passive design and is intended for broad, musical enhancement rather than surgical correction, making it especially useful for adding subtle bass lift and airy high-frequency boost across stereo mixes.
The compressor section is optimized for the most commonly used bus compression tasks in studio environments. With selectable attack times of 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, 10, and 30 ms, release settings from 100 and 300 to 600 ms and 1.2 seconds, and auto ratio options of 1.5, 2, 4, and 10, the CREME provides flexible control over punch, glue, and overall mix cohesion.
A side-chain low-cut filter helps reduce compressor sensitivity to low frequencies, allowing bass-heavy material to pass with less pumping. This makes the unit well suited for stereo bus duties, mastering chains, and subgroup processing where preserving low-end balance is important.
With balanced XLR inputs and outputs, a wide 20 Hz to 40 kHz frequency response, and an internal transformer power supply, the unit is designed for dependable integration into professional analog studio setups. The needle-style dB meter also provides clear visual feedback during compression and level management.
