SPITFIRE AUDIO AIR Studios Reverb Essentials

The Most Detailed Convolution Reverb

Introducing a more streamlined, easy-to-use AIR Studios Reverb Essentials, an immensely detailed convolution reverb — created in collaboration with the team at London’s iconic AIR Studios. Using our very own “Virtual Positioning Technology”, you can position your sounds anywhere in the legendary Lyndhurst Hall - one of the world’s most sought-after recording spaces.

With 64 curated presets to suit different instruments based on real-life mixing situations. The Essentials version differs from our flagship AIR Studios Reverb by offering fewer advanced controls. Simply load a preset and play.

The Pinnacle of Convolution with Spitfire Audio's Virtual Positioning Technology

After years of meticulous research and development, Spitfire Audio proudly presents AIR Studios Reverb Essentials– a revolutionary, effortless convolution reverb that continues to break new ground in sonic authenticity, available for everyone.

AIR Studios Reverb goes beyond traditional impulse responses, leveraging Spitfire Audio's proprietary Virtual Positioning Technology (VPT). This groundbreaking feature allows you to position your sound source anywhere within the legendary AIR Studios, capturing the precise ambience of its unique acoustic spaces.

Unleashing the Power of 67,000 Impulse Responses

Spitfire Audio has taken the concept of Impulse Response (IR) to new heights, capturing an unprecedented 67,000 IRs to recreate any position and configuration in the hall.

In AIR Studios’ “Lyndhurst Hall”, musicians traditionally face the control room, which creates a distinct reverb character. However, a lesser-known yet iconic sound is achieved with musicians facing the organ — a setup that’s synonymous with Hans Zimmer scores recorded at AIR.

To recreate both of these signature sounds within AIR Reverb, our team mirrored microphone placements on the hall floor. Combined with dedicated speaker positioning, the varied presets in AIR Studios Reverb Essentials allow you to position your virtual sound source facing either direction and capture the essence of these legendary recordings.

AIR Studios: Home to the Sound of Hollywood
