Acustica Audio Cardinal 2023 [WiN]

Cardinal is the latest Acustica plugin suite, available in VST, VST3, AAX, and AU formats. At the core of this suite lies an ultra rare ’70s custom-built console, one of only a handful still remaining worldwide, the sonic signature of the iconic Cinderella Sound, Nashville’s oldest surviving independent studio, founded by the legendary Wayne Moss. Considering this premise, Cardinal unquestionably becomes an important inclusion in our ‘Boutique Collection’ of Acqua plugins, securing its well-deserved spot within it.

The Cardinal suite marks the culmination of the partnership between Acustica and Cinderella Sound Studio and opens doors to unparalleled auditory experiences.

The suite is entirely based on the Hyper-engine, featuring the new Hyper-Dyn3 thus representing the culmination of the Hyper3 technology. It has improved drammatically the responsiveness of the plugin, it is ultra light on the CPU and when you turn a knob the reaction is insanely quick!

A rare gem

In the realm of professional audio, it’s worth noting that only 22 consoles exist worldwide, highlighting their extraordinary rarity and exclusivity. Furthermore, they were quite expensive during their time, with an average price range of $85,000 to $200,000!
