Plugin bundle is suited for law enforcement agencies to use covert audio evidence to fight crime and terrorism

Waves Audio, in association with international covert audio specialist Phil Manchester and Griff Comm Ltd., announces the release of the Phil Manchester/Waves Audio Forensics Package.

A collection of nine audio plugins chosen especially for their precision in covert audio investigation, this package is ideally suited for law enforcement agencies.

“Waves Audio tools are used to identify, restore and evidentially provide critical audio for bringing to justice those responsible for high level criminality,” states Manchester. “Thanks to Waves, I was able to succeed where other law enforcement agencies had failed.”

The Phil Manchester / Waves Audio Forensics Package includes:
1. W43 Noise Reduction Plugin
2. X-Noise
3. X-Crackle
4. X-Hum
5. X-Click
6. C1 Compressor/Expander
7. Q10 Paragraphic Equalizer
8. PAZ Frequency Analyzer
