Jet

This plugin has earned its place among Acustica's flagship products due to its stellar sound and design quality. It is one of the most versatile tools for any audio engineer who needs to solve problems on the fly: with just a few clicks, but without compromises.

The suite of dynamic EQs was inspired by elite gear that includes one of the top bus compressors made in the UK, which was only recently reintroduced to the market. Its updated version has already seen resounding success due to the potent yet musical character is gives to the sound. Unlike the dynamic EQs previously released by Acustica, this new suite incorporates algorithmic technology for the dynamic part of the equalization, and also allows the loading of different types of equalizers derived from the most popular Acqua EQs.

The Jet suite includes:

• Jet: A FREE player/plugin designed primarily for bus purposes.
• Jet Mix: A FREE player/plugin designed primarily for mix purposes.

Jet and Jet Mix include three different EQ models for the dynamic EQ section.

1 Sampled EQ: a set of selected LF and HF band frequencies derived from our renowned Eminence Acqua plugin.
Frequencies:
- LF: 20Hz, 40Hz, 80Hz, 160Hz.
- HF: 7kHz, 10kHz, 15kHz, 20kHz.

2 Algorithmic EQs with a set of selected LF and HF band frequencies called Digital Shelf and Digital Shelf HQ 2X.
Frequencies:
- LF: 20 Hz, 28 Hz, 40 Hz, 60 Hz, 80 Hz, 120 Hz, 170 Hz, 240 Hz, 350 Hz, 490 Hz, 700Hz.
- HF: 700Hz, 960Hz, 1.32kHz, 1800, 2.5kHz, 3.5kHz, 4.75kHz, 6.5kHz, 9kHz, 12.5kHz, 17kHz.

What Makes Jet Unique?

Sometimes "static" EQ may just not be enough while mixing, but what happens when we don't need or want to cut a frequency throughout the entire track — we just need to pull it back once it exceeds a certain threshold.

The main idea behind compressors or dynamic processors is the dynamic manipulation of the overall level of the audio material as a whole, whereas equalizers statically change the spectral character of the audio signal. However, multiband processors can do both things. They can be used like a filter that isn't limited to being set to a specific gain level, but it is able to change its gain settings dynamically using a control signal.

In the pro audio market, there are several, often complex, tools that can perform this function, but these can be destructive to the sound quality if used incorrectly. That's why we decided to create a powerful, uncompromising, yet user-friendly 2-band dynamic equalizer for mixing and sound-design. Dynamic EQ represents a new generation of tools providing the perfect marriage between dynamic processing and EQ.

Unlike the dynamic EQs previously released by Acustica, this new suite incorporates algorithmic technology for the dynamic part of the equalization, while simultaneously allowing the loading of different types of equalizers derived from the most popular Acqua EQs already on the market.
