Widen your Mixes and Recover the Natural Ambience of your Sources

The Precision K-Stereo Ambience Recovery plug-in allows you to precisely enhance the stereo depth and imaging of your mixes without unwanted artifacts. Created for the UAD platform with famed mastering engineer Bob Katz, the Precision K-Stereo plug-in is designed for critical 2-track mastering applications — from jazz to rock to hip-hop — and is the natural-sounding cure for busy or narrow-sounding mixes.

What They Say

I've used a number of stereo widening plug-ins before but nothing like this. The [UAD Precision] K-Stereo plug-in allows you to really adjust the depth and width with completely musical results.

The Precision K-Stereo ambience recovery plug-in has the ability to widen an image without the typical phasing. This process has won me over.

    Pure Magic

    Up until now I’ve been using Weiss MM-1 and/or various UA EQs / Comps (Hitsville Mastering, Fairchild 670 and Capitol Mastering) for stereo widening via M/S mode. However, the K-Stereo does this much more effectively and with a much more natural sound and precise control. A subtle tool that’s super helpful in bringing any mix or master more to life. Don’t sleep on this plugin !
