Acustica Audio has introduced a new audio plugin that aims to make your mixes sound tastier thanks to a new 5-band Hyper3 mixing EQ, where extraordinary performance meets minimal CPU usage.

Designed to become your new favorite EQ, Salt embodies the essence of 3 iconic vintage EQ devices, carrying the legacy of sound quality that’s shaped timeless records.

We have enhanced the precision of parameter control by adjusting the component values in the original circuits. This allows us to combine the flexibility required by a modern mixing EQ with the distinctive sound of each of the original models, providing you with the ability to compare three very different EQs with the assurance of always having exactly the same settings, no matter what they may be. Also, frequency and gain changes are kept to a minimum!

‘Salt is a powerhouse with 16,000 samples, and consider that our consultants spend 90 seconds sampling each one. These are devices that we have never sampled before, and never in this manner: we opened the devices, manually replacing resistors and capacitors to introduce a virtual Q where it was lacking. We embarked on a monumental task to match frequencies and gains of three different units for every single sample. This extensive effort aims to ensure the EXACT transient in every possible operational combination, facilitating a smooth and logical transition between different equalizer models.’ – Giancarlo Del Sordo – CEO

Salt for Windows and Mac (VST/VST3, AU and AAX) is available to the introductory price of 99 EUR until November 15th, 2023 (regular 229 EUR).
