- Bass Shaping – Choose between a soft, warm bass or a tight, percussive low end.
- Mid-Hi Tuning – Enhances high frequencies with a smooth, silky tube sound.
- LC-EQ Technology – Creates clarity in the mid and high frequencies using a coil-capacitor network.
- Integrated Bass Compressor – Balances low frequencies while keeping high-end airy and open.
- Stereo Expander – Increases the width of the stereo image for a wider, more immersive soundstage.

Vitalizer Controls
The Vitalizer Mk3-T is designed with intuitive controls that allow you to fine-tune your sound easily:
- Drive – Adjusts the input level from -20 dB to +6 dB.

The Power of De-Masking
The Vitalizer Mk3-T enhances hidden sonic details by using an intelligent de-masking process. This technology shifts the time perception of certain frequencies, making previously masked sounds audible. By optimizing the signal according to Fletcher-Munson curves, the Vitalizer improves perceived loudness and brings out essential details in the mix.
