A linear-phase equaliser for precise, uncoloured corrections – the reissue of the legendary Linear Phase PEQ Orange by Algorithmix, made for mastering engineers and other discerning ears. thEQorange applies equal delay at all frequencies, preserving the time relationship of the harmonics in the original signal, with processing artefacts well below -100 dBFS according to...

A frequency-domain linear-phase equaliser that discreetly rebalances mixes leaning one way or another – MAAT’s reworked reissue of the LinearPhase PEQ Red by Algorithmix. thEQred adds crystalline air to a dark mix without harshness, or gives the lower mids and bass more weight without bloat or loss of focus. Working strictly in the frequency domain and preserving the time...

A parametric equaliser that combines twelve idealised versions of analogue and new EQ designs in one plug-in – for recording, mixing and mastering. For thEQblue, a wide range of respected hardware equalisers was analysed and recreated as idealised digital versions without the noise, distortion and other side effects of analogue circuitry, complemented by newly developed...

A measurement app that analyses single audio files or entire folders in the background, determining all values mandated by R 128 and A/85 as well as the official DRi dynamic range value. DROffline MkII provides 24 different measurements, including integrated DRi dynamic range, ITU loudness values, true peak and PSR, the sample-peak-to-short-term-loudness ratio. While you...

A comprehensive loudness and dynamics meter which, according to MAAT, was the first designed specifically for music production. Alongside momentary, short-term and integrated loudness, DRMeter MkII measures DR dynamic range, PSR and loudness range, and as a plug-in it delivers official DRi values just like the DROffline batch utility. The Dynamic Deviation display shows how...

The version of thEQblue with six serial EQ architectures – an excellent entry into the sound of thEQblue, with twelve fully featured Sections. thEQblue6 contains architectures 1 to 6 of thEQblue12, all in serial topology, and differs from the larger model only in the number of architectures. As with thEQblue12, you get twelve fully featured Sections, the idealised emulation...

A psychoacoustic audio processor that adds a very low-level signal derived from your material, which according to the developer helps listeners pay closer attention and engage more deeply. FiDef was developed in the USA by FideliQuest and first licensed by MAAT for thEQblue; FiDef JENtwo makes the same algorithm available as a dedicated plug-in. Unlike dither, the very quiet...

A lightweight parametric equaliser with twelve idealised EQ architectures in the sonic character of thEQblue – for mixing and mastering. SantaCruzEQ recreates respected hardware equalisers as idealised digital versions without the noise, distortion and other side effects of analogue technology, and adds new designs, from vintage and modern to experimental. You choose one of...

The digital realisation of Roger Schult’s analogue Phase Shifter W2324 phase rotator, giving you a fast and musical way to align individual mix elements. Developed together with Roger Schult/German Audio Lab, RSPhaseShifter recreates the functionality of the hardware without its analogue shortcomings, deliberately leaving out artificial transformer colour, hum and noise....

The version of SantaCruzEQ with six serial EQ architectures – an excellent entry into MAAT’s equalisers, with the sound of thEQblue. SantaCruzEQ6 offers architectures 1 to 6 of SantaCruzEQ12, all in serial topology. Six Sections are available in total: the four inner ones can be used freely as bell, shelf or cut filters of various orders, while the two outer Sections provide...

A correlation meter with 31 third-octave bands and built-in monitor control that shows you in which frequency ranges your mix risks cancelling out when played back in mono. A conventional stereo correlation meter often shows everything as fine when kick and bass are mono, while strings, hi-hat or vocals are already cancelling out; 2BC multiCORR pinpoints such trouble spots...

An entry-level plug-in for precise dithering that uses LINpro’s modern LIN engine for 16- or 24-bit delivery. LINone focuses on the essentials: precise dithering with first-order noise shaping and triangular (TPDF) dither for 16- or 24-bit masters, calculated by the same engine as LINpro. According to MAAT, it is more accurate and better sounding than the dither built into...
