MIA Laboratories Pi and Phi MKIII

The basic elements that make up π & φ are the actual numbersπ & φ, omnipresent throughout our surrounding living environment.

Pi&Phi MKIII utilizes the harmony of these "magic numbers" in order to introduce an innovative way of spectral processing, creating an acoustic effect that can be described as 'super-enhanced", with a warm yet powerful 'sparkle". 

Pi&Phi MKIII features 10 bands that cover the frequencies from 80 Hz up to 16KHz, along with a 'super Low" and a 'super High" band to complement the extremes of the spectrum. 

This tool is ultimately capable of enriching a mix and each of its separate components with minimum phase distortion, enabling the user to precisely shape the spectral balance as dictated by the Golden Ratio.

Pi & Phi also stands out for its "demasking" capabilities, as it is exceptionally suitable for making an instrument or vocal track "cut-through" and stand-out from the rest, in an otherwise cluttered mix.

Overall it is a very effective yet easy-to-use tool, as well as very "forgiving", since the amount of distortion introduced is minimal compared to the increase in "loudness" perceived, even in extreme settings. 

In this version, Pi & Phi utilizes the signal processing path of our 358 Enhancer for its Super-Low area, delivering the round and solid sub that 358 Enhancer is well known for.

The updated GUI also incorporates an Input/Output spectrum analyser, while the controls are placed in a way that corresponds to the frequency bands displayed on top of them.

Since there is no other plugin similar toπ & φ, we suggest that you treat it as something new, experiment, try and discover.
