HEDD gets its story straight
HEDD’s Lineariser VST (virtual studio technology) plug-in has been developed to align the phase and frequency response of the manufacturer’s studio monitors. It was built in answer to the challenge posed by many modern-day monitors using DSP without allocating processing power for phase optimisation.
The HEDD Lineariser makes use of up to 192kHz, 32-bit of the host computer’s CPU power to ‘perfect’ the phase and frequency response without the need for additional AD/DA conversion. The result will be a linearised loudspeaker. ‘When activating the Lineariser, transients are reproduced in perfect accuracy and the spatial qualities are being increased,’ explained HEDD CEO, Klaus Heinz.
It is designed for mixing, mastering and recording sessions within a DAW or as a standalone application for streaming audio from services such as Spotify and YouTube. Phase settings include Linear Full Range, Linear above 500Hz and Minimum Phase, while options are offered for frequency-related curves: HEDD Alignment or Anechoic flat. Available in VST, AAX and AU formats, Lineariser can be downloaded for free from the HEDD website for macOS 10.8 or newer and Windows 7 or later.
HEDD also continues to build on its Bridge system with the launch of the B1-Dante input-card. The 2-channel solution is designed to slot into the back of any HEDD monitor and offers Audio-over-IP integration via Dante.
