 Plug-ins 

While  SPL  hardware  products  have  been  fascinating  audio  pro-
fessionals  from  home  studio  owners  to  mastering  engineers  in 
the  world’s  most  renowned  facilities  for  years,  the  need  for  this 
technology in the form of plug-ins has also been an ever-growing 
demand. With the Analog Code® plug-ins we have finally accom-
plished our much desired goal: to transfer to the digital domain the 
high quality we have striven to achieve with our analog processors 
throughout several decades.
The first time we ever heard a software that fulfilled our expecta-
tions, one of our hardware developers said to the programmers: 
“you have cracked the Analog Code” — thus was coined the name 
of our digital products.

The Vitalizer

®

The  Vitalizer  applies  psychoacoustic  and  audiometric  principles 
to  achieve  a  verifiable  improvement  while  enhancing  the  sound. 
The Vitalizer processes only the original signal and generates no 
artifacts.  Patented  filtering  techniques  highlight  the  richness  of 
the audio signal in all its detail, while the interactive parameters 
make it possible to alter the sound in a musical and effective way. 
This unique combination of precise filtering and intuitive usability 
enable you to instantly make any music production more stimulat-
ing  and  natural.  Music  and  speech  are  made  clearly  distinguish-
able and comprehensible, loudness more intense, and the whole 
soundscape becomes wider.
