AKG® BX 20 Spring Reverb
-
Die einzige von AKG lizenzierte Emulation
dieses herausragenden Federhalls.
Der in den späten 1960er-Jahren veröffentlichte AKG BX 20 Hall stellte die äußerst renommierte Forschungsabteilung bei AKG vor riesige Herausforderungen. Durch eine ausgeklügelte Montage der mechanischen und elektronischen Komponenten bot der BX20 die unerreichte Tiefe und Klangfärbung eines Federhalls, allerdings ohne dessen Limitierungen.
Das AKG BX 20 Spring Reverb Plug-In für UAD-2 Hardware und Apollo Interfaces ist von AKG Acoustics Austria exklusiv genehmigt und umhüllt deine Audiosignale mit der wundervoll dunklen, dichten Räumlichkeit, die nur Federhall-Geräte bieten.Mit dem einzigen von AKG Acoustics lizenzierten und autorisierten BX 20 Hall Plug‑In mischen
Instrumente dank der originalen Zweikammern-Bauweise in düstere, dichte und klare Räumlichkeit hüllen
Mit speziellen Plug-In Funktionen, wie Stereo A/B Tank Select, Direct Signal Defeat und BX 10 Tone Reglern, sphärische Halltexturen erschaffen
Mit Artist-Presets von Patrick Carney (The Black Keys), Vance Powell (Jack White) und Jacquire King (Kings of Leon) mixen

Das AKG BX 20 Spring Reverb Plug-In erklärt.
Unvergleichbare Dichte
Der unverwechselbare Charakter des AKG BX 20 macht es zu einem vielseitigen Werkzeug für zusätzliche Räumlichkeit und die Klangformung. Seine Klangeigenschaften bieten den schnellen Einsatz eines klassischen Plattenhalls und darüber hinaus die natürlich klingende Dichte und Streuung einer Hallkammer — dabei produziert es nur wenige Flatter- und „Boing“-Artefakte, mit denen man für gewöhnlich bei anderen Federhall-Geräten kämpft.
Entgegen anderer Federhall-Emulationen präsentiert Universal Audios einzige Plug-In-Variante dieses mechanisch kontrollierten, akustischen Raumsystems ein hybrides Design aus Delay-Netzwerk und Faltungshall. UA emulierte für die Realisierung ein makelloses BX 20 Referenzgerät des berühmten Produzenten Jon Brion bis ins letzte Detail.
Zeit zu federn
Das BX 20 Plug-In bildet das einzigartige Zweistufen-Decay der Hardware präzise ab. Es erzeugt warme, organische Sounds, egal ob auf Percussions, Gesang oder Gitarren. Es fügt eine einzigartige Klangfarbe hinzu, die einzelne Spuren aus einem Mix heraustreten lassen — oder diese vollständig mit dem Track verschmelzen. Kurze Texturen strotzen vor ausdrucksstarker Tiefe und Dimension, während längere Decays voll von üppiger Dreidimensionalität sind und dabei trotzdem nie verwaschen.
Neue Funktionen - mehr Kontrolle
Das BX 20 Plug-In bietet das komplette Sound-Repertoire des Originals und liefert zusätzlich neue "Mk II" Features für eine erweiterte Klangpalette. Tank Select präsentiert den exakten Sound des ursprünglichen A/B Zweikammernsystems, enthält darüber hinaus aber eine stereofähige Tank A oder Tank B Funktion für eine ausgewogenere Stereoabbildung.
Die Direct Function ermöglicht das Stummschalten des Kammer-Direktsignals für zusätzliche Kontrolle und die Minimierung von Konflikten mit Quellsignalen – ideal für den Einsatz auf Bussen. Die Klangregelung im Baxandall-Stil, die aus dem kleineren AKG BX 10 stammt, bietet die abschließende Finesse zur Anpassung deiner Reverbs.
“When I heard UA was emulating the AKG BX 20, I dared them to beat my hardware – they did it.”
– Vance Powell (Jack White, The Dead Weather, The Raconteurs)
“This is the vocal reverb sound I’ve had in my head for over 20 years. I will never mix without it again.”
– Jeff Juliano (John Mayer, Shinedown, Train)
“I used the UAD AKG BX 20 plug-in during editing sessions for the new Missy Elliott single, "Where They From," produced by Pharrell. The tone instantly cut through on the vocals and percussion.”
– Mike Larson (Pharrell Williams, Daft Punk, Snoop Dogg)User-Rezensionen

TOO ... MUCH ... DSP
This is truly a great sounding reverb, and using it is a treat (as I know Jon Brion). BUT---and this is a substantial BUT--it eats up so much processing power that I find myself turning to other UAD reverbs (Lexicon) and excellent plug-ins by Baby Audio and Valhalla. Those reverbs are in no ways compromises... they sound amazing and allow my mixes to run flawlessly. I think that's why you've seen this come down in price so much... it's become a back-shelf reverb for me because while its colour is unique, it conjures up the Mac "beach ball of death" if I try to rely on it too much. If you've only got so much to spend in UA Land, go for the Lexicon 224 ... and then buy the Valhalla Vintage Verb, one of the most outstanding, unsung reverbs on the planet and used on every mix I do.

Well done UAD. This is pretty much spot on. Again one of the keys to UAD modeling success is there are no harsh edges to the sound quality (if used correctly). Lots of controls to mess about with to alter the tonal quality of the verb. Granted early days in my use of the plug-in but initial impressions are good. It's a spring reverb but in the box.

It doesn't have the "boing" I usually think of in a spring reverb, but it's pretty incredible nonetheless. It can handle punchy hits without losing articulation, or it can provide a dense, luxurious fog. It doesn't have an enormous range of sounds, but you can really tweak & dial in the sounds it does have.

Great reverb
I can't stop using this at the moment... Guitars and vocals.

A must if you play guitar
This is the only reverb i need when i plug my guitar. UAD Fender with this reverb is the perfect combo

Best "dark" reverb
Immediately creates the right mood with Bass VI, snare drum, and vocals. Highly recommended!
C. Osborne
No-one does it better...baby you're the best!
After trying it out I had to have it. Convo's don't nail it like this does and nothing ever made does what the BX20 does. IMHO in a mix it's sounds no different to the classic hardware unit. UA hit a home run again!
R. Brennan
As close to the real thing as the real thing
This thing is amazing. Using the real thing is great, but you only get one and have to print it in. This is so close it's ridiculous.

Another magic wonder box

The Best Spring Reverb Plugin Without A Doubt & My Absolute Favorite UAD PLUG-IN!!!
Just Love it on Every Mix!!!N. Wiggins
Beautiful spring reverb magic!!
I was thinking, sure the UA team can port over the classic digital reverbs as those are digital algorithms to start with. And yes, those sound perfect when I compare side by side with the originals. However this spring emulation is off the charts. It is literally an extension of your sound, like its own physical instrument. This emulates all the natural spring characteristics beautifully.

My new favourite reverb!
I never really considered this reverb, but once I tried it I HAD to buy it, I have an eventide h8000fw that’s great for verbs but the AKG just has a beautiful quality to it that just feels so real and natural, that really has a unique vibe to it that I haven’t heard elsewhere, a must have!
P. Hoier
Love this one.
Don't get me wrong. I really love this one. Probably just me, but I could really use a more sophisticated EQ than just a Tone Control. And also an adjustable low-cut filter instead of a static one . Kinda like the EQ/HPF on the EMT 140.
Problem is, I often find springs and reverbs to be a bit dark, and tend to disappear when a mix get a tad to busy, making me want to boost the upper mid/hi's and cut the lows.
But I do love the sound of it. I can always use it on a send followed by an agressive EQ like the API 560. That would be perfect. You still get all the stars, as I do love the sound. I would just have loved a Parametric EQ and an adjustable HPF, to avoid having to use it on a send. ;-)Z. Pastakia
Spring time
One of the best spring reverbs I've heard.
