SPAT Revolution is a standalone spatial-audio mixing and rendering application for sound designers, live engineers, music producers, post-production teams, venues, installations, and institutions. Its object-based workflow lets users position and automate sources in virtual rooms, apply acoustic simulation and reverberation, and render channel-based, binaural, ambisonic, or custom loudspeaker outputs. Windows and macOS are supported, with live input, speaker-layout management, timelines, cues, snapshots, and real-time tracking features.

Pricing is structured around Essential and Ultimate plans. Essential costs $199 per year and includes one virtual room, up to 32 audio input channels, up to 16-channel output arrangements, and delivery up to 3rd-order ambisonics. Essential is also available through rent-to-own options at $19.95 per month for 24 months, $34.95 per month for 12 months, or $68 per month for 6 months. Its perpetual license costs $399 and includes one year of support and upgrades. Ultimate starts at $599.50 per year or $59.95 per month, adding multiple virtual rooms, unlimited audio inputs, up to 256-channel outputs, and ambisonic delivery up to 7th order. A $125-per-month, 24-month Ultimate rent-to-own plan includes WFS.

The platform fits production environments that need detailed spatial routing and control rather than a general-purpose stereo mixing tool. DAW integration is available through Send, Return, and Room plug-ins for Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Nuendo, Logic Pro, Reaper, and Pyramix. Control and live workflows extend to Avid VENUE S6L, DiGiCo, SSL Live, TouchOSC, BlackTrax RTTrPM, OSC, MIDI, timecode, and Ableton Link. Choose SPAT Revolution when object-based spatial mixing, multichannel rendering, or tracking is central to the work. A simpler audio-mixing application may be a better fit for users who do not need virtual rooms, spatial formats, or extensive routing control.
