Fourier Audio have made waves at NAMM 2026 with the announcement of two new developments: a compact transform.go VST3 plugin server and a new ultra-low-latency audio protocol known as ‘HYPERPORT’.
transform.go
The new transform.go packs 16 channels of I/O into a trim, light, and tour-grade design that conveniently fits into a backpack or carry-on Peli case-perfect for use on ‘flypack’ shows and mid-sized productions- whilst featuring the same best-in-class features as the company’s larger transform.engine, including full access to the transform.suite bundle.
“With its compact size and attractive price, transform.go is an ideal traveling companion for DiGiCo’s Quantum 112, providing a stellar plugin solution that nicely complements the mixer’s transportability, versatility, and power,” says Fourier Audio CEO Pete Bridgman. “What’s more, transform.go debuts alongside HYPERPORT, the new audio transport decreasing roundtrip latency down to 1.2 milliseconds, as well as the gigaACE and DX protocols for native Allen & Heath compatibility. This wide range of protocols makes transform the first one-box solution with plug-and-play connectivity to Allen & Heath, DiGiCo, Solid State Logic, Calrec, as well as any other Dante-enabled console on the market.”
When compared to transform.engine, with its smaller chassis, lower cost, and reduced I/O count, Fourier Audio’s transform.go will appeal to touring companies and engineers working on fly tours who need a compact, lightweight product to accommodate logistical constraints. The new product also affords a very compelling entry point into live plugin hosting, for a much larger market segment of live engineers, music venues, theatres, performing arts centers, houses of worship, rental houses, event production providers, and other mid-range users that don’t require the full capacity of the original transform.engine’s 64 channels.
Furthermore, two transform.go units can be racked side-by-side on an optional, custom-designed, 19-inch rack shelf for easy integration of multi-engine setups thanks to the unit’s ‘2U half-width’ design.
Like its larger brother, transform.go is fully compatible with Fourier Audio’s transform.suite, a companion plugin bundle exclusive to Fourier Audio users- providing a quick and easy way to get their hands on more than 70 of the world’s best plugins with a one-click install. The ultimate turnkey, low-latency VST3 plugin host that fits in a backpack, transform.go offers the lowest cross-brand VST3 plugin hosting latency on the market.
HYPERPORT
With the launch of HYPERPORT, a new point-to-point audio protocol designed for seamless integration between its transform.engine or transform.go and DiGiCo’s Quantum and SD-Range consoles, Fourier Audio addresses one of the most critical challenges in live sound: latency. Built from the ground up for professional touring, theatre, and broadcast environments, HYPERPORT delivers ultra-fast, reliable audio transfer, giving engineers the speed, precision, and confidence they need in high-pressure performance situations.
When connecting transform hardware as an insert on a DiGiCo console, HYPERPORT achieves an astonishing 1.2ms roundtrip latency, a reduction of more than half when compared to Dante (~3ms). The new protocol’s impressive real-world performance enables Fourier Audio’s live plugin hosts to now be used for even the most latency-sensitive applications, including monitor mixing.
“Artists are acutely sensitive to latency, as it directly impacts the musicality of a performance,” says Fourier Audio CEO Pete Bridgman. “We’ve heard our customers’ requests to minimise latency and have collaborated with DiGiCo to invent HYPERPORT, which upgrades existing hardware at no extra cost to provide a transport layer optimised for quick, no-nonsense setup, minimal buffering, and uncompromised audio integrity.”
Along with its quick setup and high-resolution signal transport, DiGiCo users will benefit from the Fourier Interface Card or DMI-DANTE64@96 card in their console automatically detecting between Dante and HYPERPORT, enabling 64 channels of redundant, high-speed, low-latency connectivity at 48 or 96 kHz, with no additional hardware, configuration or controller software required.
HYPERPORT will be available for free to all Fourier Audio users in March 2026 via a software update, downloadable from the Fourier Audio website.
