It naturally integrates into a \u003cstrong\u003emusic production\u003c\/strong\u003e workflow (cleaning, enhancement, resonance control), \u003cstrong\u003epost-production\u003c\/strong\u003e (intelligibility, masking management, tonal coherence), and \u003cstrong\u003elive sound\u003c\/strong\u003e thanks to its \u003cstrong\u003eultra-low latency\u003c\/strong\u003e. Whether you are working on vocals, guitars, synths, drums, or a full mix, AE400 helps you gain clarity, definition, and stability without weighing down the signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMain Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003e4 stackable active bands for total control\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe core of AE400 is based on \u003cstrong\u003efour fixed and active EQ bands\u003c\/strong\u003e that fully overlap. This architecture facilitates complex corrections (for example, a congested midrange area) while maintaining a fast and coherent workflow. Since each band can operate on the same area, you can stack complementary actions, such as refining presence while taming harshness, without switching tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIndependent settings per band and response ratio\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach band benefits from \u003cstrong\u003eindependent control of all active EQ parameters\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing fine adaptation of the processing response according to the track. The \u003cstrong\u003eresponse ratio control\u003c\/strong\u003e provides an additional lever to adjust the behavior of the active equalization, enabling you to go from a subtle and transparent action to a more pronounced correction, while maintaining musicality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSide chain and digital precision\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eside chain\u003c\/strong\u003e opens up modern uses, such as triggering a frequency correction based on another source (for example, controlling an instrument's congestion when the vocal enters). The \u003cstrong\u003edouble precision processing\u003c\/strong\u003e contributes to a clean and detailed rendering, particularly appreciated in cumulative processing, on buses, or in mastering contexts where the margin for error is minimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSmooth workflow, mono and stereo, for studio and stage\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAE400 is available in \u003cstrong\u003emono and stereo versions\u003c\/strong\u003e to adapt to individual tracks as well as groups. Its \u003cstrong\u003eultra-low latency\u003c\/strong\u003e makes it a relevant choice for recording, monitoring, and live use, while remaining robust enough for plugin-heavy mixing sessions. The result: a versatile active equalizer, designed for speed and reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eFull software\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDownloadable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMac\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eOS X 10.13.x (High Sierra), 10.14.x (Mojave), 10.15.x (Catalina), 11.x (Big Sur), 12.x (Monterey), 13.x (Ventura), 14.x (Sonoma).
