Looking for a type of enhancer with Black Friday pricing? The A-Type Multiband Dynamic Enhancer Black Friday deal from Universal Audio is 46% off at $79, ending Nov 30, 2026.
The A-Type Multiband Dynamic Enhancer plugin is Universal Audio's take on a classic hardware processor. Its origin is a precise decoding tool, built to transfer hundreds of encoded master tapes.
Universal Audio says the original circuits were modeled in full detail, including the multiband compansion curves and rare cartridge mods.
The maker says engineers have used the A-Type hardware for decades as more than a noise reduction tool. They bent it to make vocals sparkle and drums explode.
The plugin works the same way on a noisy take or on a tape master transfer. The maker says the results are flawless in both cases.
It also does the original job. It restores encoded master tapes using accurate models of rare hardware curves.
Universal Audio lists these as the headline features:
The mods go past the original hardware. You get multiband gains and crossovers, plus Ratio, Knee and Attack controls.
There is also sidechain filtering. Universal Audio says these let you take the sound of the original somewhere completely new.
The maker describes the plugin as a secret weapon for mixes. It unlocks enhancement tricks that pro engineers and producers have used for decades.
It is listed under enhancer plugins. Reach for it when a vocal needs sparkle, when drums need more impact, or when an old recording needs decoding.
Yes. The A-Type Multiband Dynamic Enhancer Black Friday deal is 46% off, bringing the plugin to $79. The offer ends Nov 30, 2026. It is a Universal Audio enhancer plugin.
It enhances and decodes audio. The maker says it makes vocals sparkle and drums explode, tightens noisy takes, and restores encoded master tapes. It started life as a precision decoding tool for tape transfers.
Universal Audio lists the Air, Excite and Expand effects, plus Crush and Gated modes. Crush gives gritty analog saturation. Gated gives punchy '80s-style gated effects on vocals, drums and instruments.
They are additions beyond the original hardware: multiband gains and crossovers, Ratio, Knee and Attack controls, and sidechain filtering. Universal Audio also lists subharmonics and transient controls among the tone-shaping options.
