Mike takes the Penteo Pro 3 stereo to surround plug-in for a spin around his surround rig to see if it lives up to the claims of being completely downmix compatible. As we can only release videos with stereo audio everything you listen to is the downmix of the plug-ins surround output.

It is currently available in RTAS, VST or AU formats but they are working on an AAX version for Pro Tools 11.

Penteo 3 Pro is available for £675 plus VAT. If you would like to try it for yourself then you can request a free trial.

They have just announced Penteo 3 Touch - all the same functionality as Penteo 3 Pro, but with added multi-touch control that is included with the new Slate Raven MTX Surround console. Watch the video here.
