This innovative enhancer is meticulously crafted to intelligently elevate the tonal spectrum and dynamics of your music, whether it's instruments or vocals. By leveraging Noveltech’s Intelligent Adaptive Filtering (IAF) technology, Character goes beyond ordinary frequency adjustments, dynamically enhancing the pleasing aspects of your audio material.

Designed to fit seamlessly into any workflow, Character offers three distinct modes tailored for various instruments and sources, ensuring that whether you’re working with percussive instruments, guitars, synths, bass guitars, or pads, you’ll find the perfect setting for your mix.

Responding to a question about what plugin he uses to give his sounds more power, Hardwell says he uses the Noveltech Character Plugin. This is from the Facebook Studio interview at Amsterdam Dance Event 2014. His reply is around 09:12 in the video: "To give my sound more power, I think definitely when it comes to synths, it’s really important how you EQ your synths. But one of my plugins that I basically always use on synths and baselines is from Noveltech, it’s called Character. Basically it just boosts the character of the sound itself. So your sound is getting more powerful, and it sounds so much better. There’s a lot of good presets in it, so you definitely need to check that plugin out."
