The System 6000 Native plugin brings the acclaimed audio processing power of the legendary TC Electronic System 6000 processor directly into your DAW. Known since 1999 as an industry standard in mixing, mastering, and post-production, the original hardware has been featured in top recording studios, broadcast environments, and film facilities worldwide. This plugin version delivers the same high-quality EQ, multi-band compression/expansion, and true-peak limiting capabilities that made the System 6000 a three-time TEC Award winner, now enhanced with the convenience of native integration.

Developed by the original engineering team, the native plugin preserves the signature sound and performance of the hardware while improving workflow with modern DAW automation and project recall. The user interface has been optimized for intuitive control, enabling seamless mixing and mastering sessions without losing the character and precision that define the System 6000. This adaptation ensures that professionals can access renowned audio tools without compromise, combining legacy quality with contemporary production demands.

At the core of this plugin lies the MD3 algorithm, an evolution of the award-winning MD2 dynamics processor from TC Electronic’s M5000 effects unit. Designed specifically for music production, the MD3 offers a multi-band, high-resolution processing structure that includes a four-band EQ, three-band compressor/expander, soft clipping, and a transparent true-peak limiter. This powerful combination provides engineers with refined control over dynamics and tonal balance, making it ideal for detailed mixing and mastering tasks.
