Exploring the Enhanced Audio Performance of Acustica Audio’s Amber 4 Ultra Plug-in Suite

  • by

You have arrived at 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-liked Amber 4 plug-in suite. Amber 4 Ultra features accurate representations of Class A equipment such as two EQs, a compressor, and a preamp, all with improved graphics and audio quality.

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

Amber 4 Ultra has a continuous control that allows users to adjust mid, left/right, and side signals, while Amber4 Stereo Ultra offers separate control over the left/mid and right/side channels. Acustica claims that the former is a highly powerful and low-noise parametric EQ in the digital realm, and they assure that the latter is one of the most transparent EQ options in their lineup in terms of musical quality.

The Amber 4 Comp Ultra is a compressor and preamp that simulates a Class-A opto compressor using Hyper technology to provide a clear dynamics processor. It includes typical compressor settings, as well as features like side-chain filtering, stereo linking options, a control for blending mid, left/right, and side signals, and built-in parallel compression.

The Amber 4 Pre Ultra includes a variety of class A preamp designs, with a total of eight emulations. These emulations include both solid-state and valve-based units, each with a straightforward set of controls for input and output levels, as well as Preamp (gain) and Filter (high-pass) settings.

With the introduction of the Aira engine, all of the plug-ins are now capable of displaying dynamic and real-time metering features, along with the company's Anti-Aliasing algorithm. Additionally, these plug-ins have lower CPU usage compared to their previous versions.

Amber 4 Ultra can be used on computers with Windows 10 or 11, as well as on Macs with macOS 10.15 or newer. It is compatible with VST2, VST3, AU, and AAX plug-ins.

The Amber 4 Ultra is currently on the market and can be purchased for a discounted price of €89 until February 26, 2024. After this date, the price will increase to €209.
