Program Equalizer. Patented. Legendary.
A completely different type of EQ, with which almost virtuoso interventions in the sound image become possible. When mixing, mastering and restoring, the Tube Vitalizer goes beyond traditional equalization.
The Vitalizer is based on findings of psychoacoustics and audiometry.
Its filter network is one of the few patented filters.
It makes the richness of detail of audio signals more audible. Interventions in the sound image are more of a musical nature. Music productions sound more natural, lively, differentiated, easier to understand, more deeply layered and more widely spread apart.

What's in the Box?
- SPL Tube Vitalizer 9530 Signal Processor
- Tube-driven warmth and brightness: The device incorporates tube-driven circuitry, which is known for producing warm and bright tones in audio signals. Tubes can add harmonic distortion that is often perceived as pleasing and can impart a vintage character to the sound.
- De-masking hidden sonic details: The device is designed to reveal and enhance subtle details in your audio mix that might be obscured or masked. This could involve clarifying individual elements and making the overall mix more transparent.
- Patented filter network for richness: The presence of a patented filter network suggests a unique and proprietary method for shaping the frequency response of the audio, possibly aimed at bringing out the richness in the sound.
- Core vitalizer circuit for low and hi-mid frequencies: A core vitalizer circuit is employed to sculpt the low and high-mid frequencies of your audio. This likely involves targeted processing to enhance or shape specific frequency ranges.
- High-frequency and harmonics processing stage: There's a dedicated stage for processing high frequencies and harmonics. This could involve adjusting the upper register of your audio, possibly for adding sparkle or clarity.
- Coil filters (LC) and built-in compression: The inclusion of coil filters (inductor-capacitor or LC filters) suggests a method for further shaping the frequency response. Additionally, built-in compression on both the vitalizer stage and high-frequency stage indicates dynamic control, which can affect the volume and sustain of the audio.
- Shunt limiter for tape-style analog saturation: The shunt limiter is a component that provides analog saturation, mimicking the characteristics of tape saturation. This can add a pleasing warmth and compression to the sound, reminiscent of vintage recording techniques.
- Tube stage with powerful attenuation control: The tube stage in the device allows for powerful attenuation control, meaning you can adjust the amount of signal passing through the tube circuitry. This gives you the flexibility to dial in the desired amount of tube-driven characteristics.
