PowerEQ
Broadcast voice,
right in your timeline

PowerEQ brings the one-click broadcast-voice engine of EQ Studio to Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Premiere Pro: play a few seconds, press Analyze, and your dialogue is cleaned, EQ-matched, leveled and loudness-targeted in real time. Also runs in Logic and any VST3/AU host.

Plugin or app? You do not need both. PowerEQ is the plugin: it runs inside Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro and Logic, cleaning your dialogue right on the timeline while you edit. ⚡️EQ Studio is a separate standalone app for working on audio files outside an editor, and it adds batch processing, stronger AI cleanup, delivery loudness checks and multichannel support. Both run the same engine and sound identical, so pick the one that matches where you work. Buy the other later only if you actually need what it adds.

Is this for you?

Yes, if

  • You cut dialogue in Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro or Logic, on a Mac.
  • You make talking-head, interview, podcast or YouTube video.
  • You want a finished voice without learning EQ and compression.

Not yet, if

  • You edit on Windows. A Windows version is in development: join the waitlist.
  • You work on audio files outside an editor, or in batches. EQ Studio is the standalone app with the same engine.
  • You need to rescue badly damaged audio. PowerEQ polishes everyday dialogue; deep repair is a job for a suite like iZotope RX.

The problem

Dialogue that fights you in every clip

You can hear that something is off. Naming it, finding the right knobs and matching it across a whole timeline is a mixing engineer's afternoon, not an editor's.

Every clip lands at a different loudness

CLIP A
CLIP B
CLIP C
MATCHED · -16 LUFS · READY FOR DELIVERY

PowerEQ levels and loudness-targets every clip to one broadcast standard, so cuts stop jumping out at the listener.

Muddy lows, boomy room, harsh S sounds

The adaptive EQ hears what your mic and room actually did and draws the correction for it, band by band, with a de-esser that only works when the S does.

You edit video. You are not a mastering engineer.

Why PowerEQ

The Studio sound, on your dialogue track

The engine that powers EQ Studio, now as a VST3/AU on your channel strip, processed in real time alongside the rest of your mix.

One-click Analyze

Play a few seconds, press Analyze: it detects the voice, learns the noise, measures loudness and shapes 14 EQ bands to a broadcast curve.

Mic profiles + Auto-shape

Tell it what you recorded with: studio mic, lav, action cam, phone. And it biases cleanup, tone and room control to match.

Spectrum & loudness meters

A realtime frequency display, output peak meters and a live LUFS readout: watch your dialogue sit exactly on target.

Automatic Dialogue Leveler

Quiet lines come up, loud lines come down, automatically, toward the loudness target you pick (−16 LUFS for podcasts, −14 for YouTube), with a limiter so nothing ever clips. The modern answer to Levelator, live on your timeline.

Full control set

Spectral De-Reverb, noise cleanup, de-esser, breath & pop control, dynamic EQ, preamp character (tube / tape / transformer), doubler and more.

Made for NLEs

Built and tested in DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro, with constant latency so your dialogue never drifts out of sync.

Shared engine + your presets

Verified bit-for-bit against EQ Studio's DSP. Save your own presets, including the analysis, and reuse them across Resolve, Premiere and beyond.

Presets

Six voice styles

Neutral

Clean, transparent polish: a balanced starting point.

YouTube

Bright, present and forward for talking-head video.

Podcast

Warm, intimate and even, easy on the ears for long-form.

Radio DJ

Big, bold low end with broadcast punch and density.

Studio

Refined, full-range studio vocal character.

Bro

Deep, larger-than-life voice with its own analysis target.

Resolve tip: insert PowerEQ on the track (Fairlight Mixer slot) for live, playhead-synced metering: Resolve pre-renders clip FX, and its Edit page pauses plugin panels during playback (Resolve behaviors, not PowerEQ ones). In Premiere, use the Audio Unit. AI Noise Cleanup lives in EQ Studio; PowerEQ's Analyze-based cleanup runs fully in real time.

Prefer a standalone app?

EQ Studio brings the same engine to a one-window Mac app: drag in audio or video, batch and match multiple clips, and add AI noise cleanup.

Switching from another tool?

PowerEQ comes up when people look for a Mac alternative to these, or a replacement for the discontinued Accusonus ERA bundle. Here's how it fits:

Auphonic

Love Auphonic's automatic leveling but want it local? PowerEQ levels, EQs and cleans in real time on your timeline: no upload, no subscription, one-time license.

iZotope RX

RX is the deep-repair suite for disaster audio. PowerEQ covers the everyday dialogue chain: leveling, EQ, de-ess, de-hum, de-click. Automatically, in one plugin.

Adobe Podcast · Enhance Speech

Enhance Speech processes in the cloud. PowerEQ runs privately on your Mac, in real time, with controls you can actually adjust when the one-size result isn't right.

Descript · Studio Sound

Studio Sound lives inside Descript. PowerEQ brings one-click voice polish to the editors you already cut in: DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro.

CrumplePop

Rather than a suite of separate single-purpose plugins, PowerEQ analyzes your clip once and applies leveling, EQ and cleanup together, tuned to your mic.

NVIDIA Broadcast

Broadcast is Windows-only and built for live streams. On a Mac, PowerEQ cleans and levels recorded dialogue right inside your edit.

Updates & ownership. Your license is permanent. Every 1.x update is free, including macOS compatibility fixes. A future major version will be a paid upgrade, always discounted for existing owners. If a product is ever retired I will say so rather than go quiet: the final version stays downloadable and your license keeps working.

Need to uninstall? There are two products and each has its own uninstaller. PowerEQ Uninstaller is for the current plugin (installed with a package; works in Final Cut, Resolve and Premiere). ⚡️EQ Legacy Uninstaller is for the original ⚡️EQ app for Final Cut Pro (an app named PowerEQ in your Applications folder). Not sure which you have? Here is how to tell.

Questions buyers ask first

Will it run in my editor?

Yes, on a Mac with macOS 12 or later, Apple Silicon or Intel. One installer gives you both formats: Audio Unit for Final Cut Pro, Logic and Premiere Pro, and VST3 and AU for DaVinci Resolve, including the App Store version.

How does the free trial work?

Seven days with every feature unlocked. After that, a license key keeps it working.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. Email apps@rafaelludwig.com within 14 days of purchase and you get your money back, no questions asked. With the free trial first, you know before you pay.

PowerEQ or EQ Studio?

PowerEQ is the plugin that runs on your timeline. EQ Studio is the standalone app for audio files, with batch processing, stronger AI cleanup and delivery loudness checks. Both share the same engine and sound identical, so pick the one that matches where you work.

Is my audio uploaded anywhere?

No. PowerEQ processes your dialogue on your Mac, in real time.

Are updates included?

Every 1.x update is free, including macOS compatibility fixes. A future major version will be a paid upgrade, discounted for owners.
