NUGEN Monofilter

NUGEN Monofilter | Low-Frequency Mono Processor

Create a Solid, Clear, and Powerful Low-End Core for Your Mix

In any recording project, if you seek a solid and natural low-end, NUGEN Monofilter is the cornerstone for delivering power and clarity. It brings transparent cohesion to your bass, creating the tightest mix through sharpening, defining, and aligning. Monofilter specifically addresses the loss of low-frequency center image that can easily occur due to stereo effects processing, synthesizer tones, unnecessary phase inconsistencies, and live recording microphone bleed. With industry-leading **low-frequency management** capabilities, you can precisely control stereo width, crossover points, and **phase correction**. Its intuitive visual feedback interface allows you to directly grab and manipulate the stereo envelope, completely moving away from abstract parameter knobs.

Whether you're processing audio that requires extremely high **mono compatibility** or preparing for vinyl mastering, Monofilter is an indispensable tool. It effectively tightens the low-end, centralizing energy and preventing energy cancellation caused by stereo phase issues, ensuring your work delivers a stable and powerful low-frequency impact on any playback system. It's a crucial step in building a professional **mixing foundation**.

Product Features

• Solid Low-End Core: Collapses all audio below a set frequency into mono, establishing a solid, clear, and powerful foundation for your mix, preventing the low-end from becoming muddy or unfocused in the stereo field.
• Intuitive Width Envelope: Offers a unique visual interface that allows you to directly see and manually adjust the stereo width envelope as it changes with frequency. Operation is extremely intuitive, eliminating the need to guess abstract parameters.
• Precise Frequency Control: Features a built-in high-pass filter and independent control over the stereo width of user-defined high and low-frequency bands, offering fine-tuned adjustment from full mono to retaining original stereo.
• Automatic Phase Correction: Unique phase control function corrects phase imbalance issues in stereo signals. Its auto mode responds in real-time to dynamically changing phase shifts, ensuring no frequency cancellation occurs during mono playback.
• Multiple Algorithm Modes: Offers various processing modes to suit different scenarios, including a Zero Latency mode designed for recording, a Linear Phase mode suitable for mixing, and an HQ (High Quality) mode that provides the highest resolution for mastering.
• Vinyl Mastering Optimization: Crucial for vinyl mastering. By monoing the low frequencies, it prevents needle jumps caused by excessively wide low-frequency stereo information, allowing records to be cut at higher volumes.
• Live and Recording Applications: The Zero Latency algorithm is optimized for low CPU usage, making it ideal for live performances and recording environments that require real-time processing, ensuring stable system operation.
• Enhanced Playback System Compatibility: Can be optimized according to the characteristics of the final playback medium (e.g., club sound systems, mobile phones, vinyl), ensuring consistent and powerful low-frequency performance across different systems.
