PowerEQ

Broadcast Voice, right in Final Cut Pro

The one-click broadcast-voice sound of EQ Studio, as a plugin — built first for Final Cut Pro.

PowerEQ is an Audio Unit (AUv3) effect that gives your voice a clean, professional, broadcast-ready sound without a rack of plugins or a mixing degree. Add it to a clip, press Analyze & Shape Voice, pick a preset — done. It runs in real time, right inside your edit.

Why editors love it

• Made for Final Cut Pro. Drop it on a clip and shape the voice in context with the rest of your timeline. Also runs in Logic Pro, GarageBand and any AUv3 host on macOS.
• One-click presets. Six finished voice styles — Neutral, YouTube, Podcast, Radio DJ, Studio and Bro — the same ones as EQ Studio.
• Real-time, no rendering. Tweak while you play back and automate any parameter from your host.
• Smart by default. Press Analyze and it targets a consistent broadcast loudness and balances tone to the voice — then get out of your way.
• Go deeper when you want. An Advanced section adds fine-tune controls: Loudness (LUFS), Clarity, Brightness, Reduce Boom, Tame Sibilance, Extra Leveling, Remove Rumble and Volume.
• Pairs perfectly with Final Cut's Voice Isolation for clean, present dialogue.

The same engine as EQ Studio

PowerEQ shares its DSP bit-for-bit with the EQ Studio app, so a sound that works in one matches the other. Rough it out in the app, refine it on your track with the plugin.

Heads up: AI Noise Cleanup lives in the EQ Studio app (its neural model runs offline, not on the real-time audio thread). To remove heavy noise for a project, clean the file in EQ Studio first, then process the track with PowerEQ.
