SPL, the German high-quality professional audio manufacturer has been collaborating for several years with well-respected software developer Brainworx. The SPL Analog Code® plug-ins are the result of that collaboration, which not only has gained a solid reputation amongst users: Universal Audio (UA) has now chosen the two German manufacturers as the first third-party developers for the UAD-2 platform.
The agreement reached between SPL, Brainworx and UA, apart from marking the opening of the award-winning UAD DSP platform to third-party developers, involves the collaboration to complete a software development kit (SDK), which will allow other select developers of high-end audio processors to create software for the UAD Powered Plug-Ins platform for Mac and PC.

Sound & Recording reviewed the Passeq plug-in in its January 2011 issue. Besides the product description and assessment, there are also sound samples available to all subscribers.

The Passeq plug-in was reviewed by Sound & Recording’s own Hannes Bieger. We selected the following excerpts for you:
Regarding high-frequency processing:
“The Passeq’s sound is unnoticeable, specially in the high frequencies. It can manage subtle corrections with an incredible elegance, specially when it comes to acoustic signals, regardless of whether it’s vocals, wind instruments or percussion. The processing always evidences the finest details in a way that makes you feel as if you were looking at the audio material through a magnifying glass.” View Full Article »

The digitalization of analog technology has been a recurring and controversial topic for years. We at SPL refrained from the discussion quite some time, until we we came up with our own answer in the form of the Analog Code series.
We are convinced that our Passeq plug-in faithfully translates into the digital domain the sound and response of passive EQs. It shouldn’t come as a surprise considering that is has the most complex algorithms our in-house developers have ever conceived to date. View Full Article »
