MIA Laboratories has introduced a major update to its saturator effect plugin for macOS and Windows. Blending vintage pre-amp warmth with modern digital precision and flexibility, 980 Spark MkII is engineered for quick, intuitive workflows in sound design and mastering.
The plugin delivers a unique saturation experience by simultaneously adjusting the spectral, dynamic, and harmonic content of your sound.
Under the hood, the 980 Spark MkII leverages the precision of MIA Compressor ONE, the distinctive character of the Musiqual EQ series, and the power of the 990 Spark Multiband. It offers transparent dynamic control combined with musical coloration -featuring Tube, Class A, or FET character- and rich harmonic distortion.
Its powerful saturation engine features 10 saturation algorithms, ranging from waveshaping to analog distortion emulation. Unlock a vast palette of textures—from subtle warmth to bold, aggressive distortion—with unique control via a XY screen and dedicated filters.
980’s modular design allows you to rearrange the processing modules on the fly, for endless creative possibilities. With 76 built-in presets, and the ability to create your own, 980 Spark MkII can easily fit every workflow, while 4x oversampling ensures clarity throughout your signal chain.
980 Spark MkII is available in VST3, AU and AAX plugin formats for the introductory price of $24.99 USD / €29.99 EUR for a limited time (regular $79 USD / €99 EUR). The update is free to owners of a 980 Spark license.
