Mix Fluently with Dedicated Immersive Workflows

Group and Process Channels by Speaker Zones
Link your channels based on speaker zones—and instantly compress or limit each entire zone (tops, sides/rears, your choice of front-wall configuration: L+R, L+R+C, L+R+C+LFT) as a unified bus, rather than as separately processed channels. Now you have a unified compressor or limiter applied instantly across all channels in each immersive speaker zone.
Tweak Multi-Mono Channels with a Single Touch
Quickly tweak the settings of multiple channels with a single click of the mouse. Use zone-based channel linking to mix quickly in multi-mono while maintaining relative settings between channels.
Adjust the Exact Sidechain Reaction You Want
The innovative Weight control—a Spherix exclusive—lets you adjust the balance and content of the sidechain that feeds channel-linked groups. Now you can choose whether the grouped channels will react more to each individual channel, more to the entire group, or more to all other channels—including all points in-between.
Meter Multiple Channels Conveniently
Spherix’s metering is designed for speed and convenience when mixing for immersive formats. Multi-channel meters let you instantly view the levels and gain reduction of all channels, without having to manually switch channels.
