The Vitalizer MK2-T is an equalizer plugin that applies advanced psychoacoustic principles to enhance audio signals. Based on a design developed over nine years by Wolfgang Neumann and Hermann Gier, this plugin faithfully models the original hardware unit created by SPL's CEO, Hermann Gier. The technology behind the Vitalizer MK2-T focuses on improving audio clarity, depth, and presence by selectively processing frequencies in a musically pleasing way.

The original hardware features dual Sovtek 12AX7 tubes that contribute to the plugin's distinctive sound character. One tube enhances mid frequencies for greater transparency with a soft, natural tone, while the other enriches the stereo image by adding width and depth through subtle tube harmonics. The plugin also offers refined controls for treble frequencies, delivering a smooth and silky high-end without harshness or noise. Bass processing options allow users to choose between a tight, percussive tone or a softer, deeper sound, complemented by an integrated compressor to manage dynamics effectively.

Designed for recording, mastering, and post-production, the Vitalizer MK2-T excels at enhancing full mixes or individual mix elements. Its ability to sweeten audio with tonal flexibility rivals that of expensive high-end equalizers while providing an intuitive and cost-effective solution. Whether used on subgroups or complete tracks, this plugin brings clarity, punch, and spatial enhancement to professional audio projects.
