Pure Plate

Universal Audio

Where to get itAvailable from Universal Audiouaudio.com

Pure Plate is Universal Audio's emulation of classic plate reverb, designed to deliver the warm, organic sound of vintage plate hardware in a simple, intuitive plugin. It models the mechanical nuances of steel plate transducers and dampers to add natural depth and shimmer to vocals, guitars, strings, and synths. The plugin combines straightforward plate reverb controls—mechanical damping, input filtering, and tone shaping—with DAW-friendly features like predelay and wet/dry mixing.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check
