Acustica Audio Opal 2023 WiN

Opal is the official plugin recreation of the Oram Sonics Hi-Def 55 Limited Edition Equalizer.

Opal fully recreates the exquisite Oram Sonics Hi-Def 55 EQ, which was faithfully sampled to replicate what is possibly the most advanced system ever designed by John Oram. Opal incorporates all the magic that Oram Sonics offers with its impressive machines, whether mixing or mastering, while simultaneously giving you more flexibility than ever before.

English Charm, Refined Sound

The Hi-Def 55 is made in England, and is built to extremely high standards. It is characterized by an extremely musical sound, made possible by an intelligently designed set of features: 8 bands of overlapping adjustment per channel, the unique combining of shelf and bell curves, a “detail” function, and much more.

The Opal collection includes two plugins. One is the standard version of the Hi-Def 55, as originally designed by John Oram. The second one provides extended functionality by adding a preamp input trim, mid/side, pan, and spread controls, as well as an independent channel output control.
