Acon Digital Restoration Suite review
A focused four-plugin suite for cleaning noise, hum, clicks and clipped recordings.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Acon Digital Restoration Suite bundles DeNoise 2, DeHum 2, DeClick 2 and DeClip 2 for musicians, audio engineers, archivists and post-production teams working with damaged or noisy recordings. It addresses hiss, wind and broadband noise, hum and buzz, clicks, crackle, thumps, plosives and clipping. The plug-ins run on Windows and macOS and use VST, VST3, AAX or AU formats, making the suite relevant to audio and video editors who want dedicated restoration tools inside a compatible host rather than a standalone editing workflow.
The suite’s breadth within restoration is its main distinction. DeNoise offers adaptive and noise-profile reduction, including dynamic profiles for changing noise. DeHum scans automatically for a fundamental frequency to target hum and buzz, while DeClick detects and restores clicks, crackle, thumps and plosives. DeClip reconstructs peaks in analog and digital clipped material. Optional mid/side processing and residual, solo-noise and solo-hum monitoring add ways to inspect the processing. Surround and immersive audio support extends up to 7.1.6 channels, useful for multichannel post-production. Listed integrations include Apple Logic Pro, Avid Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Steinberg Cubase and Nuendo, Adobe Audition and Premiere, and DaVinci Resolve.
According to the vendor’s pricing page, the Full version costs $99 as a one-time purchase and includes all four plug-ins; there is no free plan. That single listed tier makes the purchase straightforward, but it is a specialist suite, not a broad effects collection or complete audio workstation. Choose it when the job centers on restoration and the host supports one of its plug-in formats. Editors seeking general-purpose production tools, or who do not need the four repair processes, may prefer a narrower tool or a broader audio suite. The vendor advertises a free trial, though its duration is not specified.
