Acustica Audio has announced the release of a new Acqua series plugin suite that features a curated selection of high-quality hardware limiters.

Lace is an advanced, true peak, brick wall limiter, designed to elevate your loudness levels without compromising sound quality. This unique tool ensures exceptional transparency while preserving the transients and low frequencies of your audio.

After years of research, we are proud to introduce Lace as our premier true peak limiter, merging our expertise with inspiration drawn from both analog hardware and software common in top recording studios. This approach has allowed us to create a product that not only optimizes volume increase, but does so while minimizing artifacts and offering maximum flexibility, adapting to various musical genres, tempos, dynamics, and spectral characteristics.
