The Airwaves interface, nine stages of DSP behind four honest knobs.
Smart air control: more air and sparkle on top, without harshness or extra loudness.
The Airwaves interface, nine stages of DSP behind four honest knobs.
Baxandall shelves at 700Hz, 10kHz and 16kHz through harmonic saturation, then measured RMS gain compensation so tone changes don't become loudness changes.
A dedicated parallel stage above 8kHz, with M/S pinking shelves that keep the extra air centered instead of smearing the stereo image.
Fast/slow envelope ratio on the final output distinguishes actual transient onsets from raw level.
6 independent narrowband detectors (2800/3600/4500/5500/6800/8200Hz), each with its own fast/slow envelope and 3ms lookahead so gain reduction arrives ahead of the peak, Soothe-style, no cross-band interaction.
Threshold margin set from real-time measured crest factor so dense, loud material doesn't pin the knob to its narrowest setting.
Isolates the Side channel above 6kHz and upward-expands only its transient deviation, Mid signal untouched.
Always-on two-stage true-peak limiter, no bypass switch in the UI.
A sheet-lightning flash is tied to the same transient detector driving Spark Happy.
