PRISM Immersive Visualizer

The multi-tool of audio analysis.

Every meter, every scope, every check — on one board you build yourself. Inside the DAW, on iPad, on Mac, or directly over the picture.

One licence, three plugins. The iPad and Mac apps are free.

PRISM Suite

One metering system. Wherever you need it.

Four ways to see the same measurements: in the plug-in, on iPad, in the Mac app or directly over the picture.

PRISM External Overlay

Plug-in · over the picture

Place selected measurements where your eyes already are, without covering the session.

PRISM Connect is the bridge between them: it publishes the master and the stems you choose so every PRISM view stays fed and in sync.

Fully customisable

One board. Yours.

No two studios meter the same — so PRISM doesn’t come with a fixed screen. It comes with modules. Add the ones you use, drop the ones you don’t, arrange them your way, make them any size.

Want the same meter twice, each watching a different stem? Add it twice. When it’s perfect, save the whole board as a preset — every module, every setting, every colour.

The toolkit

Eighteen modules. Pick your weapons.

Everything you’d bolt onto a meter bridge, and a few things you couldn’t. Click a module and see what it does.

PRISM PRISM modulePRISM PRISM module
PRISM

The signature view: a living shape that shows where the energy of your mix sits in the room.

A live polygon of where the energy sits, a phase bezel around it, and the centroid of the whole field. The view the plugin is named after.

PRISM METERS module
METERS

Every channel of your mix, on your scale, in your colours.

True peak, RMS, K-System — with your ballistics, your colour zones, your floor. Duplicate it and point each copy at a different stem.

PRISM VU module
VU

Classic needles for every channel, with the reference level your room uses.

Dark or cream faces, adjustable 0 VU reference, clip LEDs and channel views from the full layout to a live stereo downmix.

PRISM DOWNMIX module
DOWNMIX

See the stereo fold before it becomes somebody else’s problem.

Lo/Ro peak and RMS, correlation and the same ITU coefficients used by VORTEX — with Recovery Lock showing when the fold is standard.

PRISM LOUDNESS module
LOUDNESS

Pick your delivery — EBU R128, Netflix, cinema — and it reads PASS, or tells you by how much you’re off.

Momentary, short-term, integrated, range and dialogue loudness (I-DLG), measured against the profile you’re delivering to. The QC badge is the sign-off at a glance.

PRISM LOUDNESS · BARS module
LOUDNESS · BARS

Momentary, short-term and integrated loudness in one hardware-style view.

Three configurable bars with target lines, colour zones, numeric readouts and peak hold — linked to the Timeline or independently tuned.

PRISM RADAR module
RADAR

The last hour of your mix in one circular sweep. One glance, whole story.

A circular loudness history, from one minute to a full hour per revolution. You know if the programme behaved without scrubbing anything.

PRISM TIMELINE module
TIMELINE

Your programme’s loudness over time, locked to the session clock.

The whole programme on one strip, locked to session timecode — up to 24 hours — with the distribution histogram built in.

PRISM SCOPE module
SCOPE

Your mix from above — energy floating exactly where you placed it.

The room seen from the top, energy as particles. You watch the mix breathe exactly where you panned it.

PRISM VERTICAL SCOPE module
VERTICAL SCOPE

The front wall, floor to ceiling. See height, not guess it.

The frontal view: azimuth across, floor to ceiling up. Height stops being an act of faith.

PRISM CEILING module
CEILING

What’s happening over your head, on its own screen.

The height layer isolated, top-down — check what the Atmos ceiling is really doing at any moment.

PRISM SPECTROGRAM module
SPECTROGRAM

Every frequency, scrolling by as it happens.

Frequencies scrolling in real time, 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Spot the hum, the whistle, the resonance — before the client does.

PRISM RTA module
RTA

The classic analyser, as fine as 1/12 octave.

The real-time analyser you grew up with, from 1/1 down to 1/12 octave, with response and tilt to your taste.

PRISM VECTORSCOPE module
VECTORSCOPE

Stereo phase at a glance.

The stereo image, drawn — width, phase and balance in the shape you already know how to read.

PRISM CORRELATION module
CORRELATION

Know it’s mono-safe before anyone asks.

Correlation per group — fronts, surrounds, heights — so mono compatibility never surprises you at the end.

PRISM SPACE · SPATIAL module
SPACE · SPATIAL

Frequency up, balance across — the mix as a landscape.

The mix as a landscape: frequency up, balance across. You see where every band of energy lives.

PRISM GONIOMETER module
GONIOMETER

A stereo particle cloud for width, balance and phase.

Choose Front, Rear, Downmix, Centre/LFE or Lt/Rt, then tune persistence, colour and particle behaviour like any other board module.

PRISM MULTI-METER BRIDGE modulePRISM MULTI-METER BRIDGE module
MULTI-METER BRIDGE

All your stems side by side, each with its own name and colour.

Several meters in one tile: your named stems side by side, each with its own colour and scale — collapse any of them to a single bar.

New · included with PRISM Suite

Put PRISM on the picture.

PRISM External Overlay is the third plug-in in the suite and the fourth way to see its measurements. Place only the instruments you need over the DAW video window or any frame you define, while the picture and session remain visible underneath.

Real PRISM instruments over the DAW video window, positioned and scaled while the session keeps running.

25 independent layers

Use all 18 PRISM instruments, Clock / Date, Timecode, Watermark and four Mask Bands. Each layer has its own position, size and opacity.

Follow or frame it yourself

Lock the click-through composition to the DAW video window, or use Manual Reframe for any other screen area or display.

Save the whole composition

Recall complete layouts from the session or start from the included factory presets. The overlay keeps running with the plug-in editor closed.

The good part

Control PRISM from the screen that needs it.

The plugins are native and they live in your session — you never have to leave the DAW. But when you want the meters off your mix window, put them on an iPad at the console, on the Mac app on the same machine, or on another Mac across the room. Choose the layout, sources and meter views from the receiver while PRISM Connect keeps the mix and stems in sync. Up to four screens can follow one machine. The iPad and Mac apps render on Metal, Apple’s native graphics engine, so every meter moves smoothly and looks sharp without loading the machine. Both receiver apps are free.

Wi-Fi is fine for watching the master. As soon as you start pulling several stems at once, a USB-C to Ethernet adapter on the iPad takes the network out of the equation — we recommend one.

Up to four screens per machine, in sync with your session clock.

PRISM Monitor app icon

PRISM Monitor for iPad

iPadOS 17 or later · free, no account

Download on the App Store

The Mac app comes in the plug-in installer — macOS 14 or later, Apple Silicon, free. Nothing else to download.

Try PRISM before you buy anything. The iPad app is a free download with a demo mode built in: no plugin, no session, no account — open it and you can already drop modules, resize them and build your own layout to see how the board feels.

The apps collect nothing and need no account — app privacy policy.

PRISM Connect

Build your own meter bridge.

Drop the little Connect plugin on the stems you care about — dialogue, music, effects — and give each one a name. That’s it. They all appear on your board and on your iPad, side by side, each with its own label and colour.

This is where PRISM gets big: up to twelve separate stems, each on its own meter, for total control of the mix. And every module can be duplicated — a spectrogram per stem, a loudness per stem, a scope per stem — until the board is exactly the panel you always wanted.

The meter bridge of a mixing console — without the console. Yours to arrange, for the price of zero rack units.

Loudness

Deliver at the right level

27 delivery profiles in three honest groups. Pick who you’re delivering to and every meter, radar and timeline snaps to their rules. When it’s right, the badge says so.

−23.0 LUFS PASS

Measured exactly as the standards are written — no flattering, no shortcuts. Five honest verdicts: PASS · FAIL · VERIFY · REFERENCE · MEASURE.

Dialogue loudness (I-DLG) and dialogue % are built in, so you have your dialnorm reading on the same meter.

HEAL Loudness

Remove the bad pass, keep the good measurement.

Enter TC IN and TC OUT for the section that should not count. PRISM removes that interval and recalculates Integrated, LRA, distribution and radar without throwing away the rest of a long programme.

Global RESET

A clean slate everywhere.

Start a new programme and RESET clears the loudness history across Analyzer, Connect and every receiver, so every screen begins from the same zero.

Blacktone Studio

Built in a real post-production studio

PRISM was built at Blacktone Studio for our own immersive rooms — the board we stare at all day, on our own sessions. Every module is there because a real delivery needed it.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly do I get? +
Three plugins — PRISM Analyzer, PRISM Connect and PRISM External Overlay — under one licence, plus the free receiver apps: PRISM Monitor for iPad and a native Mac app for a second display.
What formats are supported? +
AAX, VST3 and Audio Units (AU) on macOS 12 or later, Universal (Apple Silicon and Intel). Any host that runs those formats with multichannel buses works — PRISM lives on the meter bus, it does not touch your routing.
What are the system requirements? +
The plugins need macOS 12 or later (Universal). The Mac app needs macOS 14 or later on Apple Silicon. The iPad app needs iPadOS 17 or later. They are three different floors on purpose — each one is as low as the tech allows.
Is there a trial? +
Yes — a free 15-day trial with everything unlocked, straight from this page. No credit card required.
Do the plugins touch my audio? +
Never. The PRISM plugins are pass-through: they read the signal to analyse it and hand it on untouched.
Do I need an iLok? +
No. Everything is licensed and activated through your Kaizen Audio account.
How does the iPad find my session? +
One PRISM Connect set to Master publishes the whole machine — master and every stem — down one connection. Open PRISM Monitor on the same Wi-Fi and it finds you by itself. Up to four receivers per machine. On the iPad, a USB-C to Ethernet adapter is the safest way to pull several stems at once.
How deep do the meter settings go? +
As deep as you want: ballistics (Digital IEC, DIN, BBC), RMS windows, A/C/RLB weighting, K-System scales, five colour zones from a sixteen-colour palette, LED or continuous styles. Set it once, save it — a preset stores the whole board and every module’s settings.
Is the loudness measurement accurate? +
It’s measured exactly as the standards are written — including the details most immersive meters get wrong: height channels are weighted at 1.00 (BS.1770 gives 1.41 to surrounds, not to heights). The BS.1770 path is verified against the published references. And PRISM never claims more than it measured: when a rule needs a human or another tool, the badge reads VERIFY instead of PASS.
Does PRISM measure dialogue loudness for dialnorm? +
Yes. PRISM measures dialogue-gated loudness (I-DLG) and the dialogue percentage (D%) — the reading you set dialnorm from and the one dialogue-gated specs are written against. The speech-gate detector matches its reference code bit for bit, and on 13 real programmes (5.1 and stereo) PRISM’s dialogue loudness and dialogue percentage agreed with a commercial meter using Dolby Dialogue Intelligence, within its displayed rounding. That is a measurement comparison, not a certification.
Does PRISM meter Ambisonics? +
No, on purpose. W/X/Y/Z aren’t speakers, and a meter that pretends otherwise is lying to you. PRISM meters speaker layouts, mono to 9.1.6.
Is there a Windows version? +
Not today. PRISM is macOS only.
Does External Overlay work with external video hardware such as AJA or Blackmagic? +
Not yet. External Overlay draws PRISM over the DAW video window or a frame you define on your computer displays, so it does not appear on the picture sent out through external video interfaces such as AJA or Blackmagic cards. We are studying integration with each manufacturer's drivers, one by one. Analyzer, Connect and the Monitor apps are not affected.
Is PRISM External Overlay included? +
Yes. External Overlay is the fourth way to see PRISM and uses the same prism-visualizer licence as Analyzer and Connect. It is not a separate purchase.
Is there a user manual? +
Yes. The complete manual covers Analyzer, Connect, both Monitor apps, External Overlay, every metering module, workflows and troubleshooting. Read the manual →
