Exploring the Enhanced Features of Acustica Audio’s Amber 4 Ultra Plug-in Suite: A Review

  • by

You have arrived at the page for the Amber 4 Ultra plug-in suite created by Acustica Audio.

The newest release from Acustica Audio utilizes their Hyper technology and new Aria engine to offer an upgraded version of their well-known Amber 4 plug-in suite. Amber 4 Ultra features accurate representations of Class A equipment such as EQs, a compressor, and a preamp, with improved graphics and audio quality.

The suite includes two EQ plug-ins named Amber 4 Ultra and Amber 4 Stereo Ultra. Both plug-ins have the same controls, but the Stereo version has separate controls for each channel. Each plug-in has four frequency bands with controls for adjusting the frequency and gain. The bands for low- and high-mid frequencies also have a width parameter, while the bands for low- and high-frequencies have a control for switching between peak and shelf filter types.

The Amber 4 Ultra has a continuous control feature that allows users to adjust mid, left/right, and side signals. On the other hand, the Amber 4 Stereo Ultra offers separate control for the left/mid and right/side channels. Acustica claims that the Amber 4 Ultra is one of the best parametric EQs with low noise in the digital realm, while the Amber 4 Stereo Ultra is known for its musical transparency in their EQ collection.

The Amber 4 Comp Ultra emulates a Class-A opto compressor with advanced Hyper technology for clear dynamics processing. It includes standard compressor controls as well as features like side-chain filtering, stereo linking options, a blend control for mid, left/right, and side signals, and built-in parallel compression.

Amber 4 Pre Ultra is a collection that includes at least eight emulations of Class A preamp designs, featuring both solid-state and valve-based units. These units have a basic set of controls for adjusting input and output levels, as well as Preamp (gain) and Filter (high-pass) settings.

The updated Aira engine allows each plug-in to have dynamic and real-time metering displays, as well as the company's Anti-Aliasing algorithm. Additionally, the new plug-ins have lower CPU usage compared to the older versions.

System Requirements

Amber 4 Ultra is compatible with computers running Windows 10 or 11, as well as Macs running macOS 10.15 and newer. Users can access VST2, VST3, AU, and AAX versions of the plug-ins.

Product Pricing and Availability

The Amber 4 Ultra is currently on the market and is being sold at a special introductory price of €89 until February 26, 2024. After this date, the price will increase to €209.
