Metric Halo Multiband Expander: Precision Noise Management for Your Mix

The Metric Halo Multiband Expander is a powerful tool designed to manage, suppress, and control noise in your tracks with frequency-sensitive precision. Utilizing a 3-band phase-coherent crossover network, it directs audio into three independent expanders that can be configured to suppress noise below your specified threshold. Whether you’re tackling hum in guitar tracks or fine-tuning rhythmic patterns, the Multiband Expander delivers the control you need.

With built-in SpectraFoo™ spectral analysis, you can easily pinpoint crossover points and thresholds, allowing for quick and confident adjustments. While it may not be needed in every mix, when the Multiband Expander is called into action, it truly shines, offering unparalleled precision for noise suppression and dynamic control.
