Go Beyond with Custom Circuit Mods
For years, engineers have employed the A-Type hardware for more than just noise reduction. Bent to their will to make vocals sparkle and drums explode, the A-Type sound is celebrated by those who grew up using the real thing. Universal Audio’s take on this classic processor features exclusive circuit mods like multiband gains and crossovers, Ratio, Knee and Attack controls, and sidechain filtering, so you can take the sound of the original somewhere completely new.
Bring Classic Recordings Back to Life with Precision Decoding
The UAD A-Type Multiband Dynamic Enhancer plug-in began as a precision decoding tool for transferring hundreds of encoded master tapes. Universal Audio modeled every nuance of the original circuits, from multiband compansion curves to rare cartridge mods, resulting in an obsessively accurate emulation that can deliver the same flawless results whether you’re transferring tape masters, or just tightening up a noisy take.
