Eventide H9000 Flagship Rackmount Multi FX Processor

The Eventide H9000 is a flagship multi-effects processor designed for studios, stages and post-production rooms that demand the very best in sound quality and flexibility. Now built on the upgraded Gen2 platform with double the processing power, it delivers up to 16 simultaneous algorithms, pristine 96 kHz operation across all effects, and deep integration with modern DAW workflows. From iconic Harmonizer sounds to cutting-edge granular textures, it is a complete effects environment in a single 2U rack.

At the heart of the H9000 are four updated quad-core ARM processors powering 16 DSP engines, giving you the headroom to run complex FX chains without compromise. Over 1,600 algorithms and hundreds of preconfigured FX chains cover everything from classic modulation, delay and reverb to advanced pitch, dynamics and experimental sound design. With world-class converters, flexible analogue and digital I/O, and optional Dante, MADI and Pro Tools HD expansion, it slots straight into high-end studio and live rigs.

Control is handled via the H9000 front panel or Emote, Eventide’s dedicated software for Mac and Windows. Emote can run as a standalone application or as an AAX, AU or VST3 plug-in, giving you full parameter control, preset management and routing from within your DAW. Network connectivity via LAN or Wi-Fi keeps the hardware tucked away in the rack while you work from the sweet spot.

For producers, mix engineers and sound designers who want the legendary Eventide sound in its most powerful form, the H9000 offers a future-ready platform that will keep pace with evolving sessions and workflows. Whether you are polishing vocals with Harmonizer+ algorithms, recreating vintage studio tones, or building wild modular-style FX chains, it gives you the tools to realise your most ambitious ideas.

Next-generation Harmonizer platform

The H9000 represents the latest evolution of the Harmonizer concept, combining Eventide’s classic sound with a modern, ARM-powered architecture. With full 96 kHz support across all algorithms and double the processing power of the previous generation, it delivers exceptional clarity and low latency even in the most demanding sessions.

Deep effects library and FX chains

With over 1,600 algorithms and hundreds of FX chains, the H9000 covers virtually every effect type you could need. You can chain up to four algorithms per FX chain and run up to 16 algorithms at once, with flexible routing options that let you build complex, studio-style processing paths and recall them instantly.

Legendary and modern effects in one box

The H9000 gives you access to Eventide’s most iconic sounds alongside cutting-edge new processing. Classic effects such as Instant Flanger, Instant Phaser, Omnipressor, SP2016 Reverb and H3000 Harmonizer presets sit alongside granular algorithms, Harmonizer+ vocal processing, Bouquet Delay, Head Space and Even-Vibe, covering everything from vintage warmth to experimental textures.

Studio-grade connectivity and control

With 8 channels of analogue I/O, 16 channels of USB audio, multiple digital formats and three expansion slots for Dante, MADI and Pro Tools HD, the H9000 integrates easily into complex studio and live systems. Emote software, comprehensive MIDI and remote control options, and a powerful virtual patchbay make it easy to route, automate and control your effects from wherever you are working.

• Gen2 DSP platform with double processing power - Four updated quad-core ARM processors power 16 DSP engines, giving you twice the processing headroom of the original H9000. Run more algorithms simultaneously, build richer FX chains and handle large, complex sessions without hitting the ceiling.
• Over 1,600 algorithms and advanced FX chains - Access a vast library of effects covering pitch, delay, reverb, modulation, dynamics, distortion, granular processing and more. Chain up to four algorithms per FX chain and run up to 16 algorithms at once, with flexible routing that lets you design bespoke processing paths for any source.
• Legendary Eventide sounds plus new vocal and granular tools - Recreate classic studio tones with Instant Flanger, Instant Phaser, Omnipressor, SP2016 Reverb and H3000 Harmonizer presets, or explore modern textures with Harmonizer+ vocal algorithms and new granular effects such as Cosmic Web and GrainMod. From subtle polish to radical sound design, it is all on tap.
• Comprehensive I/O, expansion and Emote control - 8 channels of analogue I/O, 16 channels of USB audio, AES/EBU, ADAT and S/PDIF connectivity make the H9000 a powerful hub for your studio or live rig. Optional Dante, MADI and Pro Tools HD cards expand integration further, while Emote software and extensive remote control options keep operation fast and intuitive.
