MixWave has introduced a new audio plugin designed to brings the sound of a two-stage amplifier. The Coil Audio CA-286S is designed to capture the detailed tone associated with vintage EF86 tube-based preamps.
The Coil Audio CA-286S is a modern homage to the iconic European two-stage amplifiers of the 1950s and 60s, inspired by legendary brands like Telefunken™, Langevin™, Collins™, and Gates™. While the CA-70s delivers a deep, massive tone, the CA-286S offers a more mid-forward, high-fidelity character, while capturing the rich, detailed tones typical of vintage EF86 tube-based preamps.
Using our proprietary component-level modeling technology, we’ve meticulously recreated the classic CA-286’s sound, bringing its timeless warmth and texture into the modern studio environment.
Coil Audio CA-286S features
- Mic and Line amp models for a wide range of saturation.
- Interactive Low and Negative Feedback controls for tonal shaping.
- 4-position pad network.
- Plugin-exclusive Wet/Dry mix control for parallel processing.
- High-pass and Low-pass filters that can be placed before or after the processing.
- Up to 8x oversampling.
Available in VST3, AU and AAX plugin formats for Windows and Mac, Coil Audio CA-286S is on sale for a limited time introductory price of $99 USD (regular $149 USD).
