112dB has announced that Redline Monitor, a high-quality near-field monitor simulation for headphones, is now available in RTAS/VST/AU format for Windows and Mac OS X at the introductory price of €69/$69.

Redline Monitor is a listening, mixing, and mastering tool. It replaces the extreme stereo separation characteristic for headphones with the detailed stereo image of near-field monitor speakers, turning headphones into a portable uniform listening environment. Whether in the studio or on the road, on a full-blown studio rig or your notebook, even in home studios and untreated rooms, with Redline Monitor mixes sound identical where ever you go.

• True stereo soundstage with adjustable left/right speaker position from 30° to 90°.

• Separately adjustable phantom-center level from 0dB to -3dB for optimal speaker matching.
• Distance control from 0m to 2m to simulate placement of near-field monitors in room.
• Auxiliary left/right solo and phase invert controls for critical listening.
