The first stage in the signal chain — a psychoacoustically-modeled engine that detects and repairs codec artifacts from lossy audio sources in real time.
APRE analyzes incoming audio for telltale signs of lossy compression — spectral holes, smeared transients, stereo decorrelation, and missing micro-dynamics. It applies four targeted repair stages in real time, before any downstream processing begins. The result: cleaner source material for every stage that follows.
APRE requires no user configuration. It listens, detects, and adapts — applying only the repair needed for the source material it encounters. On lossless sources, APRE passes audio through unmodified. On heavily compressed streams, it applies maximum reconstruction. The processing is always proportional and never introduces artifacts of its own.
Broadcast audio arrives in every codec imaginable. APRE was designed for the real world — where HE-AAC, AAC-LC, and lossless sources all hit the processor within minutes of each other. APRE handles every codec gracefully, ensuring consistent quality regardless of input format.
Hear the difference that artifact-free source material makes across your entire signal chain.
