The MBIT+ word length reduction algorithm features psychoacoustic noise shaping based on research performed with musical program material as opposed to traditional test tones. This basis has won it the lowest perceived noise in the market* and made it a practical must for professionals. It features several modes of noise shaping providing the engineer with the final control.

The iZotope 64-bit SRC sample rate conversion algorithm features one of the steepest filters on the market** minimizing the noise and aliasing caused by traditional approaches. Additionally, iZotope 64-bit SRC addresses the question of the pre-ringing and post-ringing caused by linear phase and minimum phase algorithms by allowing the engineer to decide. A new hybrid approach allows continuous control over the tradeoff of pre- and post-ringing, in addition to the controls over filter steepness versus ringing.
