Key Features
Radiator 5 is a convenient plug-in counterpart of a famous vintage tube-driven mixer amplifier, captured in immense detail to deliver a warm flair to your mix. Indistinguishable from the original hardware counterpart, Radiator provides you with an authentic analog experience through a proprietary modelling process that accurately recreates each interaction between components to achieve the rich and harmonically complex signal that makes analog hardware so desirable.
Featuring a sleek and streamlined interface, Radiator excels at providing the signature analog sound without the endless menu diving or difficult to navigate interfaces. Simple input and output gain knobs span a huge range, allowing you to drive any signal source into subtle overdrive or harmonically rich searing distortion, while a single dial EQ for both bass and treble allows you to dial in the right sound for any sound source, whether that's vocals, piano, electric guitar, drums, bass and more. Both Mic and Line input selections are available to be ready for any challenge and any input signal level, you will always get the best performance from Radiator.
