Audio professionals in need of a professional-quality reverb will be impressed with the NuGen Audio Paragon, a true convolution reverb with the flexibility and control of a classic algorithmic reverb, which imparts the characteristics of real spaces with unprecedented tweakability.
Paragon's resynthesis engine offers full control of decay, room size, and brightness of reverbs modeled on 3D recordings in real spaces, with no time-stretching and no artefacts. The software includes spectral analysis and precision EQ for the impulse response themselves. The software operates 7.1.2 surround and is compatible with Dolby Atmos.
At a Glance
- True convolution reverb
- Dolby Atmos and surround compatible
- Individually configurable crosstalk per channel
- Unique technology for re-synthesis of authentic IRs
- HPF and LPF per channel
- Spectral analysis
- Switchable LFE
- Compact mode
Seamless Tweakability
- The IR library isn’t too big, and it isn’t too small, it’s just right. Gone are the days of keeping an impulse response saved for every possible configuration of every possible space. With Paragon, all you need are a select few, which can be tweaked to create almost limitless combinations of spaces.
- Using state-of-the-art technology developed alongside the University of York’s Dr. Jez Wells, 3D impulse responses are analyzed, decomposed, and resynthesized to create new authentic spaces.
- Paragon’s IR panel allows you to seamlessly tweak the frequency response of real spaces, by EQing the reverb model itself and altering the frequency-dependent decay rate.
Real Spaces Reimagined
- Paragon’s reverb decay and room size can be set significantly longer, larger, shorter, and smaller than that of the original IR space, without introducing ugly artefacts as a result of stretching or removing samples.
- Unlike a traditional convolution reverb, Paragon does not use a static impulse response; this wider scope allows you to transparently transform the sound of the space.
For Film and Television
- As the first 3D-compatible convolution reverb, Paragon is an ideal addition to your Dolby Atmos workflow. Create a sense of space like never before.
- Paragon’s adjustable crosstalk creates a sense of liveliness and interaction between channels and allows you to produce surround reverb even from mono or stereo sources.
- Offers the control and flexibility to determine how reverb from each channel interacts with the other channels. For example, improving dialog intelligibility by removing reverb from the center channel, but maintaining a sense of space and location by sending the dry center channel audio to other reverb channels.
Typical Applications
- Creating immersive reverb
- Atmos-compatible convolution reverb
- Manipulating IRs whilst maintaining true convolution characteristics
- Authentic sounds of real spaces
