iamReverb Audio have announced the launch of an innovative new plug-in that has been designed to transform the way reverb is experienced. Simply named iamReverb, the processor relies on a new technique the company call Enhanced Reverb Modelling (ERM), which the company say redefines the boundaries of realistic spatial representation.
The technique has been created following years of research and development, and is said to solve many of the limitations presented by traditional convolution and impulse response reverbs including synthetic-sounding spaces, poor low-frequency response and unwanted comb filtering. iamReverb Audio’s newly developed technology relies on a measurement technique that captures early reflections from a short distance while avoiding interferences with the direct signal. As a result, ERM promises to deliver exceptionally clear and transparent early reflections, enhancing the perception of depth. The improvement is apparently also evident in the lower frequencies, offering a noticeably tighter and more defined bass response.
Users are provided with three adjustable distance controls: Close, Mid and Far, allowing them to shape the perceived distance of sound sources within a virtual space. Further control over the reverb’s characteristics is provided by Pre-Delay, Decay and Size parameters, and the overall tonal balance can be adjusted thanks to a built-in four-band EQ section. The plug-in comes supplied with a collection of over 100 presets, which cover a wide range of acoustic environments in an effort to ensure users quickly find the reverb that best fits their projects.
Compatibility
iamReverb is supported on PCs running Windows 10 and above, and Macs running macOS 10.13 or higher. It is available in VST3, AU and AAX plug-in formats. An iLok account and the iLok License Manager software are required for activation, which can be completed via iLok Cloud or using an iLok USB key (Gen 2 or Gen 3).
Pricing & Availability
iamReverb is available now, and is currently (4 April 2025) being offered at an introductory price of $249, reduced from its full cost of $299. A free 14-day trial version is available.
