It combines their renowned circuitry into a versatile processor featuring EQ, compression, stereo width control, and advanced dual Super Silk circuits with both Blue and Red modes for rich musical coloration. The Input section includes a ±12dB Input Trim with LED indicators (green at -20dBu, red above +23dB) and an adjustable 15–150Hz high-pass filter. The two-band shelf EQ offers ±9dB gain, with low band frequencies from 30–240Hz and high band from 3–24kHz, designed for minimal phase shifts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe Color Comp section utilizes an optical design to enhance non-linear harmonic distortion, with ratios of 2:1 or 5:1, a threshold from 0–+24dBu, release times from 100ms–1.5s, and an adjustable side-chain HPF from 20–350Hz to prevent low-frequency \"pumping.\" A Blend control allows parallel compression, while the 20dB Class-A make-up gain adjusts levels and provides additional saturation to the Super Silk transformers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe Stereo Width section expands perceived width without affecting the low end, featuring an additive Width control, a 50–800Hz HPF to keep low frequencies centered, and subtle high-frequency attenuation to avoid harshness. Super Silk includes independent Blue and Red controls for low and high harmonics, a Harmonics control for saturation, and Zener Drive for diode-based soft clipping, which introduces aggressive odd harmonics near the headroom limit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe MBT features balanced line-level XLR inputs\/outputs, supports up to +26.8dBu input and +25.5dBu output, and includes a ground lift switch to combat ground loops.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e• Built around Rupert Neve’s Class-A, Transformer-coupled Signal Paths\u003cbr\u003e• Revitalize mono or stereo tracks, stems, and mixes with a range of new controls\u003cbr\u003e• Add that missing weight and power with our new Super Silk circuit\u003cbr\u003e• Add dynamic character with the opto-based Color Comp\u003cbr\u003e• Quickly adjust tone with the smooth and musical LF \u0026amp; HF shelves\u003cbr\u003e• Use the newly designed Width section to create dimension without losing focus\u003cbr\u003e• Drive and level-match the interstage transformers with the I\/O amplifiers\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rupert Neve Designs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53344931971339,"sku":"TT-WRPIIMASTERTRANS","price":4349.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/6327\/7323\/files\/01_c422d5da-8578-417b-b16f-55d73f27bb32.png?v=1788720971","url":"https:\/\/dbmusicstore.com\/en\/products\/rupert-neve-designs-master-bus-transformer-tone-shaping-processor-masteringprocessor","provider":"Dbmusicstore Utrecht","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
