Smart Audio Plugins have released PWM 156, available at the intro price of $48.00, increasing to $80.00 after the promotion.
Overview of the PWM 156 Audio Processor Plugin
The PWM 156 is a software emulation of a rare 1975 EMT 156 broadcast processor, meticulously modeled to replicate its vintage limiter, compressor, and expander functionality.
The plugin features innovative Time Variance Technology (TVT), which captures the natural, dynamic tonal nuances and harmonic saturation changes of the original hardware as they evolve over time.
Users can combine limiter, compressor, and expander sections independently or together, with added modern enhancements like auto gain, parallel dry/wet mixing, and high-pass filtering.
A unique transformer stage allows users to toggle between two distinct transformer models, providing authentic saturation characteristics that replicate the original unit’s sound profile.
The interface includes an interactive, real-time level diagram that automatically updates to reflect signal transfer curves as users adjust parameters, aiding in precise sound sculpting.
The processor operates with 64-bit compatibility on macOS and Windows, offering an ‘ECO’ mode to reduce CPU usage while maintaining the tonal integrity of the original circuitry.
Originally designed for FM broadcast processing, this emulation provides versatile dynamic control suitable for diverse studio applications ranging from single instruments to full mix buses.
PWM 156 is available to PC and Mac users (VST3, AU and AAX).
