Mackie has announced the acquisition of Babelson Audio’s catalog of processing plugins, a range of products that includes vintage tube EQ and saturation, multiband compression, reverbs, harmonizers, analog delay and many others.
“Mackie has a long history of developing and integrating effects in products, from analog mixers to powered loudspeakers, and everything in between,” says Mackie CEO Alex Nelson. “This acquisition allows us to provide solutions for customers using DAW software, but just as importantly, it deepens our bench for hardware-based processing in future products. With the addition of Babelson plugins to the Mackie family, we are excited to be able to offer our users some of the most powerful, versatile, and best sounding tools available for their music production needs.”
“Building the Babelson Audio plug-in catalog over the past 10 years has been an amazing journey, and joining forces with Mackie is truly the culmination of these efforts,” adds Babelson founder Thomas Ceyhan. “The Mackie brand has always been synonymous with creativity, great sound, and great value, and I can think of no better partner for bringing these great products to a broader audience.”
All Babelson plugins will continue to be active as Mackie begins the migration and integration over to mackie.com.
