ADL Introduces Penteo 3 Pro — Stereo-to-5.1 Surround Plugin

Going from stereo to surround in a flash is always an attractive proposition.

Mix up, down — even diagonally! — with the new Penteo 3 Pro.

The latest time-saver in this sector is Penteo 3 Pro from ADL (Audiotech Digital Limited), which aims to make the process as high fidelity as it is convenient for those in the post, broadcast and DJ professions.

Availability will commence in February at GCPro.com and GuitarCenter.com, for an MSRP yet to be named.

Here’s more information, as told by ADL, which is a developer of proprietary solutions in stereo-to-5.1 surround technology:

“Penteo 3 Pro discretely converts stereo to 5.1, offering very fine control over sound image placement, thereby creating the warmest and best-sounding surround experience.

Designed for post-production, broadcast and DJ professionals, Penteo 3 Pro’s proprietary algorithm does not artificially manipulate the sound. The listener hears a perfect surround experience with zero sonic artifacts, and uniquely, Penteo is 100% ITU down-mix compatible to the original stereo.

Featuring an intuitive visual interface modeled after vintage gear, the plug-in offers six automated preset modes as well as manual fine-tuning for discerning ears.

Through its comprehensive controls, automation settings and advanced low frequency management, Penteo 3 Pro provides the ultimate mixer experience.

Penteo has been used by major studios on hundreds of films, TV shows and music recordings and supports RTAS, VST and AU formats.”
