What LUMEN does, a tour of its current faceplate, and the quick facts. No audio — there is no rendered A/B for LUMEN yet.
Why it exists
loudness & true-peak metering
Delivery is a checklist — integrated loudness, a true-peak ceiling that holds between samples, a stereo image that survives mono — and it is usually spread across three plugins and a bounce you have to make before any of them can answer.
LUMEN reads all of it live, on the bus you are already listening to. Choose the delivery target and its ceiling comes with it. The history shows where the last thirty seconds actually lived, and the spectrum, spectrogram, level stack and goniometer are all looking at the same moment. When the numbers belong across the room rather than behind your session, LINK puts them on an iPhone or iPad over your own network.
In the session
- 01Set the target once — every readout is against it.
- 02Watch true peak, not just sample peak, before you print.
- 03Check width and correlation while the mix is still open.
- 04Send the meter to a phone or an iPad with LINK.

Straight answers
Before you run LUMEN.
Which DAWs does LUMEN work in?
Pro Tools (AAX); Logic Pro and GarageBand (AU, macOS); Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One and Reaper (VST3). It ships as VST3, AU, AAX on macOS and Windows. The install guide covers where each format lands and how to rescan if a host doesn't see it.
What are the system requirements?
macOS: macOS 11+ · Apple Silicon + Intel (Universal). Windows: Windows 10/11 · 64-bit · VST3 + AAX. Licensing is iLok; no USB dongle is required.
Does LUMEN add latency?
Where the engine needs lookahead or oversampling, LUMEN reports its latency to your DAW, which compensates automatically, so it stays in time with the rest of the session. On a live input, check your host's low-latency or monitoring mode.
Can I try LUMEN before buying?
Yes, through the subscription: the 7-day trial covers every unit, LUMEN included, with nothing charged until it ends. Individual plugins and bundles don't have separate trials.
Do I need an iLok dongle?
No. The license lives on your iLok account and can be activated to your computer, to iLok Cloud, or to a USB key — your choice.
How do I install it?
Through the Echelon Audio Hub: sign in once, and it installs, updates and rolls back every unit you own or subscribe to.
Are updates free?
Yes. A perpetual LUMEN license includes every update to LUMEN; subscribers get updates and every new unit as it lands.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Perpetual licenses have a 7-day refund window from purchase, as long as the license is surrendered from your iLok account. On the subscription, cancelling inside the trial means you pay nothing. If something is broken and support can't fix it, we'll make it right regardless.
