Audeze Reveal Plugin

[PHC1]

Reveal is a revolutionary plugin developed by Audeze which applies carefully designed filter presets specific to our headphone models. This provides the listener with an experience similar to what you would hear from high quality studio reference monitors in an acoustically treated room. The presets are not meant to fix any issues, but rather to enhance the listener’s experience. We expect some users will prefer our headphones without any DSP presets, while others will prefer the “room sound” calibration provided by these Reveal plugin presets. The choice is yours!

I'll have to play with this when I get some time. Thanks for the link Serge!

Let us know what you think.

thanks Serge will implement into jriver and give it a good look over

Thanks Serge - I'll check it out in JRiver as well. Headphones are especially good transducers for DSP manipulation. The internal 64 bit processing in JRiver should make these plug ins transparent except for what they are intentionally trying to do.

I don't have Audeze headphones but I did play around with the DSP section of Roon and I have no objections to using DSP in Roon in general. It is quite transparent. Roon also has the Audeze presets for most of their upper end headphones. While it may not be of any use to me with my other headphones, I was able to play around with Roon's Audeze presets and did not notice any detrimental effects other than to mildly change the tonal balance. It may be a worthwhile feature to custom tailor the sound and enjoy your headphones even more.

I've loaded the plugin. It's very easy to setup. Still experimenting with the wet/dry and gain settings. It is adding back some room sound so it sounds more like you are listening to speakers. So far I can't tell if it is changing the spatialization.

Not sure I would want to listen to studio monitors in an acoustically treated room. When I've heard actual studio monitors in an acoustically treated room in-person, the sound was "dead" and did not sound natural to me.

Only for Mac? The program looks like fun.

The Reveal plugin is available at no cost for macOS (10.10 and above) and Windows (7 and above) and is compatible with most Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) or playback software that supports AU, VST or AAX plugins. Compatible DAWs include ProTools, Logic, Ableton Live, Digital Performer, REAPER and others. Compatible audio playback software includes JRiver, Audirvana Plus, Pure Music, VOX, Foobar2000 and others. The filters used by the Reveal plugin were designed for all commonly used sample-rates (44.1 kHz - 768 kHz), so no resampling happens no matter what sample-rate you use.
