Saturation just got smarter
Give your tracks exactly what they need, exactly where and when they need it. Unlike traditional saturators that apply a static effect, Plasma’s groundbreaking Flux Saturation technology analyzes your sound and applies dynamic processing, adding precise warmth, depth, and character to bring out the best in your mixes and masters.
Your new secret sauce
Whether you’re looking to gently warm up your sound or crank it into overdrive, Plasma’s intuitive interface and easy-to-use controls have you covered. And yes, you can use it on everything—from individual mix elements to entire masters.
Target Profiles & Character Settings
Guide Plasma’s Flux Saturation with one of 24 Target Profiles, featuring anything from drums and vocals to full masters. Then, fine-tune Plasma’s effect with easy Attack and Release settings, plus an Overdrive fader for some extra crispy, crunchy goodness.
Channel Modes & Frequency Handles
Use Frequency Handles to separately boost the highs, mids, and lows. With Channel Modes, you can enhance the center of your mix or widen the stereo field, as well as shape the attack and tail of your sound for more precise control.
Explore 49 presets
Bright? Deep? Balanced? Warm? No matter what kind of vibe you want, Plasma's custom-built presets make it easy to find a quick starting point.

“Plasma is like futuristic car polish for your audio. Its tube saturation is adaptive to your audio, not static like others. I made a lifeless B3 track instantly come to life. Loving it on my instrument buss as well. An innovative tool for the future. Well done, iZotope.”
—Rob Dennis, GRAMMY-winning engineer (Jelly Roll, Carrie Underwood, Fisk Jubilee Singers)
“Plasma is truly magical. It’s my new to go-to plugin for adding harmonics to anything. It brings forward the harmonics you want without the harshness, and without sounding overly distorted. Truly incredible.”
—Count (Tycho, DJ Shadow, Run the Jewels, Thievery Corporation)
“I explored the new Plasma plug, and WOW is the best one word description! I tried it on several tracks in a recent mix and it seemed to make almost everything…just sound better.”
—Ed Seay, Recording Engineer/Producer, Mixer (Blake Shelton, Martina McBride, Paul Davis, John Prine)
