SONY OXFORD INFLATOR-TUBE EMULATED DYNAMICS PROCESSOR

The Inflator is a unique process that can provide an increase in the apparent loudness of almost
any program, without obvious loss of quality or audible reduction of dynamic range, yet avoiding
damaging increases in the peak level of the signal. The inflator process can also bring power,
presence and warmth to program material and even provide headroom overload margin above
digital maximum with a subtlety and musical character reminiscent of tube systems.
No matter how limited, compressed and crushed your program already may be, the Inflator will
provide even more loudness, it will even add volume to a full-scale white noise signal or add musicality
to previously clipped signals!
The Inflator was developed in response to requests from mixing and mastering engineers who are
required to compete on the basis of the overall apparent loudness of their final results.
Use the Inflator to produce louder mixes than you thought possible without overloads or compression
pumping, or use it to add natural warmth and character to acoustic or jazz mixes.
Use it on single instruments to add presence, softness and depth, or use it on percussion and drum
tracks to produce amazing dynamic presence, tightness and volume.
