AC3 Filter is used for decoding and processing audio on the fly. It is used for handling AC3 and DTS content along with MPEG Multichannel compression.

Quick installation process

The AC3 Filter Lite offers the user the possibility to customize the filter and achieve a different sound. Installing the product completes moments after its initiation and there are no unwanted events along the way.

As far as looks are concerned, the filter comes with a straightforward interface that makes available all the options in full view, with functions being organized into multiple tabs.

Users can switch the sound output format in order to match the audio configuration available and modify gain levels as well as enable and change the dynamic range compression (DRC).

The information shown in the main tab of the program includes input and put levels along with CPU usage. As far as the latter is concerned the value is within acceptable parameters.

For more gain control the application makes available a special section that allows adjusting the value for each input and output channel independently. The purpose of this area is to compensate the loudness differences.

An equalizer is also present in the program; it has ten frequency bands and offers the possibility to customize the frequencies as well as to change to one of the preset configurations included.

Additional sections refer to SPDIF settings and options that affect the entire system (choose the formats AC3 Filter should be used for).

Audio aficionados should feel right at home with the range of options present in AC3 Filter Lite as it provides the various customization knobs that can improve overall quality of the sound.

What's new in AC3Filter Lite 2.6.0b:

  • FFMPEG updated to v1.1.4
  • Use FFMPEG for AAC decoding (should be less crashes because faad bugs).
  • SPDIF/AC3 encoder: encode 5.1 with back channels (used by flac for instance) like 5.1 with side channels (standard for ac3).
  • Serbian language added (thanks to Rancher).
