5-Min UAD Tip
In this video, learn how to shape drums using Helios’ colorful inductor-based three-band EQ and uniquely voiced low-frequency boost and cut filters.
Add a Classic Channel to Your Studio
Whether it was housed at Olympic in London, Musicland in Munich, or in the famed Rolling Stones’ mobile studio, Helios Type 69 consoles recorded everyone from Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, and more with unmistakable attitude and punch.
Get the Authentic Sound of a Classic Helios Type 69 Console
UA’s team of engineers dug deep into two original Type 69 “golden units,” faithfully emulating their distinct custom-made character, giving you colorful flavors that will bring your vocals, guitars, drums, and bass to life.
Go Bold With Colorful Analog EQ
The Helios Type 69 plug-in gives you the original hardware’s famously assertive three-band EQ, perfectly emulating the rich sounding saturation behaviors that keep radical EQ moves on all your sources sounding ultra musical, even at extreme settings.
Enjoy Thick Low-End Tone and More
With four uniquely voiced low-frequency boost filters, the Helios Type 69 plug-in injects your tracks with the same solid and wide bass foundation found on seminal rock, pop, and reggae recordings. You can also clean up sources like overheads and room mics by switching the Bass band into a fixed 50 Hz low cut mode.
Record “Through” a Vintage Helios With Apollo
UA’s groundbreaking Unison technology lets you track in realtime through the Helios Type 69 plug-in using your Apollo, giving you all the original vintage hardware’s line/mic preamp impedance, gain stage “sweet spots,” and exact circuit behaviors.
“Helios is responsible for many of the best sounding albums of the 70s. Its mic preamp and EQ are bright, open, and aggressive sounding without being harsh. I love using it on snare drums and acoustic guitars.”
– Joe Chiccarelli (Jason Mraz, Beck, The Strokes, Morrissey)
“The new Helios Type 69 plug-in is killer. It captures the colorfully unique and musical EQ, and Unison technology emulates all the crunchy cool of the mic pre.”
– Jacquire King (James Bay, Kings of Leon, Tom Waits)
“The UAD Helios Type 69 brings new and exciting texture to any source. I love using the Mic mode to crunch guitars. Just fabulous! ”

Very good results
I used it on a big drum, some electric snare drums. Also on a vocal track (a complicated one). In the future I will expand the area of use because the result was very good....

I have no Native version (Why???!!!)
Bought this preamp previous year and still didn't get native version of this plugin. Shame on UAD team.

Off with the dust
Recently got Helios 69 Preamp and EQ collection and tried it in a few mixes. Never worked with a Helios console, but some friends have. After several trials and tests, called some of them to hear. The result was noneless than great. The Preamp gets a bit "crushy" in a very nice sounding saturation and the EQ is what you would expect from a classic board like Helios. A great "dust off" for someone who wants classic sounding plugins in a mix

Helios 69. Great for mixing. Unsupported for long time users though.
This used to be one of my favorite plugins to mix with. Great midrange on guitars. Sadly I own the UAD2 version and can no longer use it on current Native systems without paying for it a second time. Great plugin but not enough to justify forcing customers to buy it twice to be able to use it. I enjoyed mixing with it but it has ultimately been a waste of money since I cant use it now

Very good results
I used it on a big drum, some electric snare drums. Also on a vocal track (a complicated one). In the future I will expand the area of use because the result was very good. Personally, over time I have physically reproduced several models of preamplifiers with lamps with great attention to detail. In conclusion, this Helios emulation is very close (and in certain situations) surpasses the original. We can't develop here but the UAD result is professional.
P. Krason
Great emulation!
I own the Lindell channel and like both for different reasons but appreciate what the feel of the UAD a bit more.

Game changer for me
I hate to use the phrase "game changer" but for me that is what it is. I didn't think that I needed yet another "classic" emulation, but when you find the sweet spot with this there is nothing like it. The series I currently score is primarily for orchestra and electronics. This plug in brings amazing definition and vibe to everything that passes through it. In conjunction with the Manley Variety Mu it delivers instant magic.

Smooth on rhythm session
Love this on acoustic guitar rhythm sessions. Tames down harshness
s. ayton
Can’t hear it
Like the Helios EQ but sounded like a boring preamp with distortion to me which I need like a hole in the head. V76 won in every case with the 1073 up there too and API does something fun for percussion so the Helios didn’t make the cut.

Fat vintage tone
Great preamp. That Low knob ! Delivers plenty of harmonics . I use it for several purposes but love it specially with my drum room mics.
V. Kpoudosu
It sounds really good especially the lows
I love how it works and how it makes me work. The bass boosts are the best that I have ever worked with.

Helios 69 pre & eq
It's one of the best UA EQs out there! I like the bass and mids, and setting the treble to the lowest +4db is a bit much in general but I understood it properly follows the design of the hardware.
