'ab Imager' is a dynamic plugin designed to enhance and control the spatial characteristics of audio signals by leveraging 3rd Order Ambisonics technology. It allows users to manipulate the dominance, size, and position of sounds, enabling them to make any audio element wider, taller, longer, or reposition its sonic weight towards specific angles without losing its dimensional qualities. The plugin also supports automatic upscaling of 1st or 2nd Order Ambisonics signals to 3rd Order, boosting clarity, definition, and spatial presence for a more immersive listening experience.

This plugin accommodates a wide range of input formats including Mono, Stereo, and various Ambisonics orders, making it compatible with multiple audio setups such as Quadraphonic, 5.1, 7.1, and advanced surround formats when used alongside the 'ab Encoder'. Its ability to create multilayered three-dimensional mixes helps users craft complex soundscapes where elements can be distinctly sized and positioned to achieve a tailored spatial field. The upscaling feature operates seamlessly and efficiently, ideal for demanding projects like Dolby Atmos, by automatically activating only when needed.

'ab Imager' is available in a full version and an 'Express' variant, the latter focusing on dominance and size control without the upscaling function. Both versions run on Windows and macOS platforms, supporting major plugin formats such as AAX, VST3, and AU. The plugin offers an accessible entry point with an introductory price, catering to users seeking advanced spatial audio tools for professional mixing and sound design applications.
