Acustica Audio has announced an update to its British channel strip suite. Built around four NOVA-powered preamp families, classic British EQ designs, and vintage-inspired compression, Cream 3 delivers warmth, harmonic depth, and rich analog character while preserving the subtle channel-to-channel variations that made classic British consoles sound so alive.
Bringing together preamplification, equalization, and compression inside a single unified workflow, Cream 3 captures the sound of iconic British hardware from the late 1950s – 60’s & 70’s. Valve, transistor, and discrete circuits, powered by NOVA Hybrid Processing.
