Included Plugins

Red 2

The Red 2 hardware is based on the ISA 110 equalizer circuitry, originally developed to upgrade the Neve console at Sir George Martin’s Air Studios in London. Its flexible 6-band configuration with high-pass and low-pass filters is powerful and responsive. With a subjectively warm and smooth sound, the Red 2 is extremely versatile and remains in high demand.

Red 3

The Red 3 hardware uses the same topology as the ISA130 compressor module, based on an innovative patented VCA design that has earned Focusrite a TEC Award for Outstanding Technical Achievement in Signal Processing Technology. Red 3 is renowned for its ability to retain a natural sound even under significant compression, making it the choice of many of the world’s top mix engineers, such as Chris Lord-Alge, who continues to religiously run his Red 3 on the mix bus.
