Since 2012, Penteo’s unique phaseless AAX / VST3 audio plugin produces the highest quality multichannel upmix/downmix that always adheres to the original mixers intent - nothing is artificially added, altered or removed from the source.
All Formats: Only Penteo up- and downmixes all major formats - Stereo, 5.1 / 7.1 Surround, Dolby Atmos, Auro3D, DTSX, Ambisonics and 360 Binaural audio - from a single plugin.
16 Channels: Penteo blows past Pro Tool's channel limitation giving sound designers 16 channels up or down - including Atmos 9.1.6 and 3rd Order Ambisonics FuMa / AmbiX.
Phaseless Process: Penteo's unique phaseless process generates the perfect upmix with zero unwanted artifacts that downmixes 100% ITU back to any original source.
Faster Workflows: Switch between formats on-the-fly without plugin re-initiation. Penteo Modes, Dialog Control, 2D / 3D Visualizer and LFE controls speed mix workflows.
Output All Formats in Binaural: Penteo now includes optional Binaural output from any supported format. Penteo's One-Click 360 modes bring studio quality upmixing to headphones quickly and easily.
