Make Every Mix Sound Finished
The SPL Vitalizer Mk3-T, developed by Brainworx, is the definitive plugin version of SPL’s famed analog program equalizer, a powerful audio enhancement tool for mix and mastering engineers that offers a unique approach to improving sound clarity, volume, and bass foundation, without introducing harshness.
Vitalizer Mk3-T isn't just an EQ: it’s a mix finishing tool, giving you intuitive access to advanced and crystal-clear psychoacoustic processing via its patented combination of frequency shaping and bass processing. Always trusted in providing the final 5% that separates a good mix from a great one, it can be instrumental in helping your mixes cut through, feel fuller, and sound more polished. And beyond full mixing and mastering applications, whether you're sweetening vocals or tightening the low-end on a drum bus, the Vitalizer Mk3-T is a legendary go-to for adding clarity, punch, and sonic “finalizing” to whatever you drop it in on.
Cutting-Edge Analog Modeling
Renowned for its almost magical ability to make mixes sound more vibrant and detailed (described by engineers and producers as a “voodoo box” for the stereo bus), this latest version of the plugin is a major leap forward from the beloved gold-faced Mk2-T, featuring completely fresh precision Brainworx modeling of the newly improved SPL Studio Series Edition hardware unit with its updated black design, which was re-engineered to run at a higher internal voltage (±18 V) for even greater headroom, improved dynamic behavior and enhanced sonic fidelity.
More Than Just a Hardware Emulation
Vitalizer Mk3-T builds around this core hardware emulation with powerful new features unique to the plugin, including updated Tube Modeling, Auto Bypass, an all-new Stereo Expander, LC-EQ and Mid/Side Mode. Perhaps chief among the new features is the Split Bass Mode: this enables you to pull a classic Vitalizer magic trick of processing “soft” and “tight” bass characteristics simultaneously. With these controls, you can perfectly focus and finetune the low-end on even the most intricate and challenging program material, without upsetting delicate mix balance or introducing the kind of side effects typical of more conventional processors.
Rescalable and refined workflow
All the new additions are seamlessly integrated into a sleek and completely scalable modern interface. The Brainworx Top Toolbar provides optimal workflow enhancements, including toggle buttons for show/hiding the lower control panel for streamlined operation and easy switching between the Mk3-T and the included legacy Mk2-T models. That’s right: the Vitalizer Mk3-T includes a “gold” mode, for maximum color, workflow familiarity and compatibility options!
Trusted by Engineers. Loved by Ears.
The original SPL Vitalizer is legendary for a reason. It uses proprietary processing to de-mask overlapping frequencies, enhancing perceived detail and depth by dynamically shifting the timing of loud and quiet frequencies. This means vocals become more articulate, instruments separate more clearly, and low-end gains both punch and weight without excessive boominess.
