Abbey Road Studio 3 is a premium audio plugin developed in collaboration with Abbey Road Studios and powered by Waves' Nx immersive audio technology. It replicates the acoustics of Abbey Road’s flagship control room, a space designed by leading acousticians to deliver unparalleled music production and mixing experiences. This iconic room has hosted legendary artists such as Radiohead, Amy Winehouse, Kanye West, The Beatles, and Pink Floyd, making it a benchmark in high-quality sound environments.

This plugin brings the hallmark sound of Abbey Road Studio 3 directly to your headphones, offering a three-dimensional listening experience that faithfully recreates the studio’s acoustics. It provides clear stereo and surround imaging, revealing every nuance in your music with a balanced frequency response and precise low-end sustain. Whether mixing or producing, users can trust their headphone mixes more confidently, hearing their projects as if seated in the studio’s sweet spot, with accurate spatial depth and a panoramic sound image.

In addition to stereo, Abbey Road Studio 3 supports full 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound, enabling professional surround mixing on any pair of headphones. This makes it an ideal tool for producers working without access to dedicated surround speaker setups or those needing to create premixes before finalizing in a surround studio. Portable and reliable, the plugin offers a consistent reference environment that benefits producers on the move, those without treated rooms, and collaborative teams sharing mixes within a unified acoustic space.
