Among SPL&#8217;s most celebrated developments are the patented Vitalizer\u00ae sound-optimization processing, the\u00a0first-ever level-independent dynamic processor known as the Transient Designer, the 5.1 microphone system Atmos, as well as compact\u00a0monitor controllers and channel strips. The development of the SUPRA op amps by SPL allowed analog signal processing to outperform\u00a0the best digital processing in terms of quality. These op amps, which make use of the unsurpassed 120 Volt Technology, were first used\u00a0on the MMC mastering console. Ever since, the 120V technology has become a quality trademark of SPL products, laying the foundation\u00a0for all SPL Mastering devices as well as various devices of the SPL Studio line, like the 120V microphone preamplifier Crescendo. Within\u00a0the SPL Hi-Fi series \u201cProfessional Fidelity\u201d this technology gained popularity under the name of VOLTAiR. SPL stormed the USB and\u00a0MADI audio-Interface market with the introduction of the Crimson, Madicon and Madison interfaces. Its collaboration with German\u00a0company Brainworx resulted in the Analog Code\u00ae plug-Ins, which translate to the digital realm the same quality expected from all SPL\u00a0products. This relationship has led SPL to become a member of the Plugin Alliance.
