Legendary Audio Masterpiece 1 with External Power Supply

The Legendary Audio Masterpiece 1 is one of the most extraordinary analog signal processors ever developed for mixing and mastering. Based on the final sonic visions of Rupert Neve, the Masterpiece combines a remarkable collection of high-end processing tools within a single, uncompromising mastering platform.

At its core is a fully analog signal path featuring an impressive combination of tonal enhancement, dynamics processing, saturation, equalization, and creative frequency-dependent signal shaping.

Unique frequency-selective processing

One of the most outstanding features of the Masterpiece is its ability to apply processing selectively to specific frequency ranges.

Some sections are all frequency-selective only or can also be applied to the full signal if desired:

• Rupert Neve Classic Process – frequency-selective transformer coloration that can also be applied to the entire signal
• Tape Saturation Process – frequency-selective tape saturation that can also be applied to the entire signal
• Integrated frequency-selective compressor – Dual Mono or Stereo operation
• Frequency-selective External Insert
• Frequency-selective Phase Processing
• Premium fully analog signal path
• External power supply
• Output transformers from the legendary Neve Montserrat console
• Designed for the highest levels of mixing and mastering

For example, it is possible to:

• Apply tape saturation only to the high frequencies
• Compress only the midrange
• Enhance only the low end with the Classic Process
• Insert external processors on selected frequency bands
• Apply phase processing exclusively to specific frequency ranges

This workflow is virtually unique in the mastering world and allows processing techniques that are simply not possible with traditional channel strips, mastering EQs, or bus processors.

High-end 3-band fully parametric equalizer

The integrated 3-band fully parametric equalizer offers exceptional precision, allowing adjustments in extremely fine 0.25 dB steps.

This level of resolution makes it perfectly suited for mastering applications, where even the smallest gain changes can have a significant audible impact.

Sheen & Glow – The signature feature

One of the Masterpiece’s most unique and desirable features is its switchable High Shelf and Low Shelf filters with the distinctive Sheen and Glow characteristics.

Unlike conventional shelving EQs that simply boost or cut frequencies, Sheen and Glow were specifically designed to shape musical content in a highly natural and musical way.

Sheen adds remarkable openness, air, and detail to the top end without ever becoming harsh or artificial.

Glow enhances the low frequencies with weight, warmth, and depth without making the mix sound bloated or losing definition.

Within the mastering community, these two functions are among the most sought-after aspects of the Masterpiece and remain virtually unique in their implementation.

More than a mastering tool

The Masterpiece is not just another mastering processor. It is a complete sonic enhancement platform that combines musicality, technical precision, and creative flexibility in a way that is rarely found, even among the most exclusive high-end analog equipment.
