The ultimate tool for creating digital signals with the tone, transparency, and power expected from Rupert Neve Designs.
Whether you’re tracking, printing mixes, mastering, or feeding a large PA, the Master Bus Converter is a revelation in quality and functionality of A-D conversion technology. The analog drive circuitry allows the MBC’s converter to be fed by either a class-A transformerless path for maximum transparency, or by custom interstage audio transformers with variable Silk for a wide variety of tonal enhancements. Coupled with an astonishingly musical limiter, the MBC is always the best choice to capture your analog signals with breathtakingly three-dimensional accuracy.
Specifications:
SELECTABLE ANALOG DRIVE PATHS
The very best of class-A transformer-less and custom transformer-coupled designs at the touch of a button.
TRANSFORMER PATH WITH SILK / TEXTURE
Add weight and punch with a dedicated custom inter-stage transformer before the converter. Silk / Texture allows you to dial in the harmonic content and drive saturation of this signal path.
CLASS-A TRANSFORMER-LESS PATH
Maximizes clarity and transparency of the input signal.
COMPOUND ACTIVE RELEASE LIMITER
Ultra-fast response, useful both for musical sculpting and transparent level control.
SIDE CHAIN HPF
Tighten the response of your limiting with a 12dB / Octave SC HPF sweepable from 20Hz to 250Hz.
24-BIT / 192kHz REFERENCE CONVERSION
Unparalleled analog capture with precision clocking using top-of-the-line chips.
MULTISTANDARD CONNECTIVITY
Connect to any of your digital devices with AES, S/PDIF and TOSLINK all simultaneously available.
PRECISION CLOCKING
Maximum accuracy with minimal jitter and phase noise, able to operate as a master clock or sync from another master.
