The INSPIRATA Professional Edition Reverb Workstation Software from Inspired Acoustics is powerful measurement-based reverberation software that provides unprecedented flexibility in sampled reverbs. This version of the INSPIRATA series supports surround configurations up to 7.1.2, is compatible with Dolby Atmos systems, and offers an extended feature set with fully adjustable parameters.

Unlike traditional convolution programs with static spaces, INSPIRATA's computational algorithm is inherently time-variant, simulating the experience of being in a real acoustic space, where things in the room including the air are moving slightly. The software provides the truly natural feeling of being in the reverberant space while also delivering consistently dependable sonic quality. The user interface lets you choose from a wide variety of spaces in the 193GB library, and easily adjust the position of up to 16 sound sources and the virtual microphone for customizable results.

From the pristine sounds of historic spaces and the lush reverberant environments of medieval cathedrals to legendary music clubs, INSPIRATA comes with a growing library of real-space content. Many are available for the first time in history, and many of them have never been experienced in such detail.

Moving virtual sound sources onstage or adjusting the listener position using a sample-based reverb processor was not possible without limitations until now. In a musical context, now you can move your sound sources and listener to find the optimum recording and mixing locations. Move an instrument slightly backwards onstage for a better balance, or move it closer for more clarity.

In postproduction you can use INSPIRATA to automate the movement of your sound sources in every space, from close to far, left to right, as well as any of the acoustical parameters. The sound will instantly follow and sound, the same as if you were in the space only without the environmental noise. This unprecedented feature makes INSPIRATA a true workstation for spatial sound.

INSPIRATA makes it possible for you to control parameters that really matter to your ears, you can directly adjust acoustics and the sound of the space instead of adjusting indirect properties that make no difference to the sound. Gone is the time when you needed to bother with hall size, wall diffusion, or decorrelation only to get different results in each space. You now have full and independent control of how wide your sound source is in the space, how much of the blended sound reaches you, and how much it envelopes around your ears. Spatial room acoustical parameters such as apparent source sound width (ASW) and listener envelopment (LEV) are controllable for the first time directly in any reverberation solution. In addition to these revolutionary controls, you can also adjust the orientation of your speaker feeds in space, facing your stereo or surround setup in any direction. And you can change and automate all of these in real time.

In INSPIRATA, reverberation time and sound clarity are adjustable independently, in each space, using a single dedicated control for each. Despite these parameters not being totally independent, INSPIRATA pushes the limits and optimizes the reflections one by one to match the desired settings. The basis of the method of changing sound clarity (C80) has been published in an award-winning research paper by the IA team; and for the first time, it is now available in a real-time implementation.

Reverberation time, the mother of all acoustic parameters, is an important aspect of how long the decay lasts. But there is no single reverberation time in a hall, and no single number at a given frequency. In natural spaces, the reverberation time varies slightly location by location—this is fully preserved in INSPIRATA. Not only is the variation reproduced accurately, but also the nonexponential nature of the decay of natural spaces is preserved in a dynamic range fully covering the theoretical possibilities of sound reproduction.

In real spaces, there is not only a spatial but also a frequency dependency of the reverberation time. Deep tones usually reverberate for a longer time, while higher-pitched sounds fade away promptly—for example, due to the absorption of the sound of the air in large volumes. The frequency-dependent nature of the reverberation time directly affects the overall tonal footprint of your sound. By using intuitive controls for setting the reverberation time in a frequency-dependent nature or by tilting the controls to be more bass or treble heavy, you can finetune how the space matches your mix with just a few clicks, and achieve a level of warmth or brightness otherwise unimaginable. 

INSPIRATA supports multichannel audio by design. With INSPIRATA, you can upmix your mono sound source to a wide variety of 3D-surround options up to 7.1.2. Dolby Atmos. The upmixing is done by the natural acoustic space itself. You can apply reverberation to surround audio or multichannel audio for instruments or instrument groups, and deliver in any surround format that you desire with just a few single clicks. This version of the software supports sample rates up to 96 kHz.

INSPIRATA supports all major DAWs in AAX, VST3, and AU formats.

Q: 1. I'm looking for something like this, but reversed. So it would be a Sony battery that screws into a plate, so could mount a monitor using the battery slot. Any ideas?

A: You, Would use a battery if you wanted it reversed. We are not aware of a battery converter plate that would convert a display battery port to another. Some displays however have options for adding plates.

Q: 2. Does it come with a USB - C Type cable?

A: No. Does not come with a charging cable.

Q: 3. Does this support USB PD (Power Delivery)? If so, which voltages and amps?

A: The, SmallRig L-Series/NP-F Battery Adapter Plate USB-C port specs are Type-C port, with 18W output and 18W input.

Q: 4. Overview states this can be used with the SmallRig DC5521 to LP-E6 dummy battery power cable 2919 but I cannot find it?

A: For the SmallRig 2.1mm DC Barrel to LP-E6 Dummy Battery Power Cable (23.6") to be used on the SmallRig L-Series/NP-F Battery Adapter Plate (Professional Edition), see the link below: https://bhpho.to/419toHS

Q: 5. would this power an fx30 to usb port with internal battery in place to allow hot swap of 970's?

A: No, the SmallRig L-Series/NP-F Battery Adapter Plate (Professional Edition) would not work well for powering the FX30, as the USB-C output does not support PD (power delivery). You might have better luck using a USB-C dummy battery like the ZILR USB Type-C to Sony NP-FZ100 Regulated Dummy Battery Cable (24")(BH #ZIZRUCDB01 • MFR #ZRUCDB01).

Q: 6. What kind of cable can I use to connect to my Blackmagic6kg2 camera?? I already bought this but when I got the cable to power the camera it didn't work

A: Consider the SmallRig 2.5mm DC Barrel to 2-Pin Power Cable for BMPCC 6K/4K BH #SM2920 for use with the 12V port on the SmallRig L-Series/NP-F Battery Adapter Plate (Professional Edition). See the link below: https://bhpho.to/3XqaHgO

Q: 7. When using the LP-E6 dummy battery cable for the BMPCC4K, do I plug it into the 12v or 7v jack?

A: When using the SmallRig L-Series/NP-F Battery Adapter Plate (Professional Edition) and, the LPE6 dummy battery cable please use the 7.4V connector. The following cable would work with the Blackmagic Pocket Camera 4k/6k/6k Pro and, G2 models via the 12v connector.: SmallRig 2.5mm DC Barrel to 2-Pin Power Cable for BMPCC 6K/4K BH #SM2920 https://bhpho.to/3ItsOfs

Q: 8. Can you charge and provide power at the same time?

A: No, the SmallRig L-Series/NP-F Battery Adapter Plate (Professional Edition) can not charge a battery and pass power through to a connected device at the same time, in that kind of setup the plate would basically work as a pass through an will not likely have enough power to charge the battery simultaneously.

Q: 9. Can you use this USB-C to power Zoom F3? Thanks.

A: No, the SmallRig L-Series/NP-F Battery Adapter Plate (Professional Edition) would output more power than the Zoom F3 can support, and would likely damage the F3.

Q: 10. What is the Max Ampere output of the DC 12V power output?

A: This info is not provided by Smallrig.
