Spherix consists of a compressor and a brickwall limiter designed for the beds of immersive 7.1.4 and 7.1.2 mixes such as Dolby Atmos.

Spherix links channels by speaker zone and compresses or limits each zone – tops, sides/rears and a selectable front wall of L+R, L+R+C or L+R+C+LFE – as a unified bus. The exclusive Weight control sets whether grouped channels react more to themselves, to the group or to all other channels. Control linking for one-click multi-mono adjustments and multi-channel metering of levels and gain reduction save a great deal of time.
