Add clarity and life to your mixes with this tube-based processor.

The SPL Vitalizer MK2-T plug-in for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces is a spot-on emulation of the popular tube-based Vitalizer MK2-T hardware unit, a longtime staple of top mixing and post-production facilities.

Employed as both a fixative and an enhancement tool, the Vitalizer MK2-T plug-in shapes sounds in a musical and effective way, bringing life to tracks and buses, enhancing loudness, widening the soundscape, and adding harmonic depth and richness.

Easily create wider, clearer mixes

Add tube presence and harmonics to individual tracks or an entire mix

Bring out instruments and vocals and easily place them in the mix

Increase loudness and clarity by “unmasking” overlapping sounds

Key features

Drive adjusts the input level to the plug-in from –20 dB to +6 dB
Bass offers emphasis of two different colors of the low end, variable from "Soft" to "Tight"
Compression lowers the threshold and increases the ratio of the soft-knee compressor, variable from 0 (Off) to 20 (Max)
Mid-Hi Tune adjusts the primary filter cut-off frequency, variable from 22 kHz to 1.1 kHz
Process adjusts the intensity of the effect generated by the Bass and Mid-Hi Tune filters, variable from 0 (Off) to 20 (Max)
LC-EQ adjusts the cut-off frequency of the LC-EQ filter, variable from 2 kHz to 20 kHz
Intensity adjusts the amount of the LC-EQ effect mixed with the original signal, variable from 0 (Off) to 20 (Max)
Stereo Expander adjusts the intensity of the stereo expansion effect, variable from 0 (Off) to 20 (Max)
Output adjusts the output level of the final combined dry signal and effect, variable from –20 dB to +6 dB
A/B/C/D Setting buttons store and recall four independent control settings
Active switch bypasses entire SPL Vitalizer circuit for comparison to original unprocessed signal

Brings Everything to Life!

Love using this plugin on mixes. Really brings out what I felt a mix was lacking very easily. I especially enjoy this plugin when listening to my music library!

Secret weapon for background vocals!

This is my secret weapon for background vocals! Adds perfect soft compression, gentle air in the high frequencies, warm drive and the best sounding analog-like stereo expander! Of course, it also sounds great on synths, strings, and more.

Always on my vocal tracks

I love the space it adds to my vocal tracks I have all UAD Plugins and this is always the last one I add before I am ready to master I just love that extra touch it gives to vocals...

Amazing on Acoustic Guitars

This plug in provided the X factor for my mix of acoustic guitars. I tried the demo on them and had to purchase after hearing the results!

Still Amazing

We would just say it reminds us so much of the Hardware Version, we have in our Rack. Maybe the Tube Glue on the HW is a bit warmer - but it is very close. Fantastic. Thanks UAD.

Amazing Tool

This ‘thing’ sounds absolutely amazing…I’d been using the PA version for quite some time but the UAD one sounds completely different, so now I own both. Love it to bits.
