Having already mentioned when it first launched that Kaptive Audio was formed out of necessity rather than an intention to start something, that theme continues here.  Born of a desire to create a dedicated hardware stereo spectrum meter that felt similar to the one in the Lynx Hilo mastering converter, because it was the one thing I missed after selling mine, but I took it well beyond that in terms of functionality. The Arbiter is a portable USB-powered desktop audio meter shipping with 12 functions (and an ability to expand with more down the road) giving you the ultimate insight into the genetics of your audio signal.

No other audio hardware company is providing you with this deep of an ability to design and personalize the vibe of your own device; you’ll be able to match the Arbiter to your aesthetic completely. How? It’s available at launch in 15 different colors including an N64 edition coming in 7 semi-transparent color options. When ordering, you choose the preferred orientation for the encoder position and connections. Once you receive your Arbiter, you can then access a FREE download of the “Kaptive Kontrol” companion software that lets you deep dive into customizing the color scheme of every single detail for each individual function, re-order or omit functions and beyond!
