Up For Your Consideration Is 1-t.c. Electronics Finalizer Plus Studio Mastering Processor With Master Fader 

The Wizard Series

Cleaning out my studio I have one of t.c's best piece of studio equipment. Used it on lots of projects and never let me down. This comes with the master fader that makes fade-in's and out's smooth and clean. Everything works like it should but as you can see in my pictures, the back light on the left side went out. In the dark you can still see whats going on and with room lighting you won't have a problem at all. I put this under a Furman Power Conditioner when this happened and with the pull-out lamps I had no problem at all reading the desplay. Still with that said it does what you need it to do and more.

FROM T.C.ELECTRONICS

The TC Electronic Finalizer Plus is a legendary, rackmountable hardware digital studio mastering processor first introduced in the late 1990s. It was designed to provide a complete "all-in-one" mastering chain to give mixed tracks a polished, commercially competitive, and "radio-ready" sound..

The TC Electronic Finalizer Plus builds on our multi-award-winning mastering technology and delivers an unprecedented level of clarity, warmth and punch to your mix.

In short, Finalizer Plus dramatically enhances your material, creating that "radio ready" sound that was previously unattainable outside a professional mastering house.

Punch - Add a Touch of Magic to Your Production. Make it Stand Out from the Crowd.

Versatility - More than Multi-band Compression. A Complete Range of Mastering Tools.

While plugins have largely taken over modern workflows, the Finalizer Plus remains highly regarded for its clean digital processing, exceptional routing capabilities, and nostalgic workflow.

Key Technical Specifications

Digital Conversion: 24-bit/96kHz analog-to-digital (A/D) and digital-to-analog (D/A) converters.

Sample Rate Conversion: Real-time asynchronous conversion spanning from 32kHz up to 96kHz.

Digital I/O: Robust connectivity including AES/EBU, S/PDIF (coaxial), TOSlink (optical), and ADAT formats.

Form Factor: 1U rack-mountable chassis featuring physical control knobs, data wheels, and comprehensive metering. 

Internal Signal Processing Chain

The Finalizer Plus processes audio linearly through a series of dedicated virtual blocks designed to optimize dynamics and spectral balance: 

Input Section: Supports precise digital gain staging and format matching.

5-Band Digital Equalizer: Used for surgical or broad spectral tailoring to balance the mix before dynamic processing.

Insert Block: Allows the user to patch in external analog or digital gear into the mastering path.

Spectral Stereo Enhancer: Controls the stereo width independently across different frequency bands.

Normalizer: Optimizes the gain structure to maximize signal resolution.

3-Band Expander: Dictates noise reduction and dynamic expansion prior to compression.

3-Band Multiband Compressor: The core of the unit. It splits the audio into three distinct frequency crossover bands to prevent low-end frequencies (like bass and kick drums) from causing pumping effects in the high-end frequencies.

Digital Radiance Generator™ (DRG): Adds subtle, second-harmonic distortion to recreate the warmth and presence of analog tube gear.

Limiter & Soft Clipper: Maximizes the overall loudness while ensuring transients are tightly controlled without harsh digital clipping.

Workflow and Usability

The Wizard Function: An automated setup tool that asks users a few questions about their musical genre and goals, instantly generating an optimized, tailored preset baseline.

Presets: Features 30 genre-specific factory presets alongside dedicated memory spaces for user-customized curves.

Visual Metering: Provides dense, accurate visual feedback including a Phase Correlation Meter, a Level Flow Meter, and Peak Hold meters to track the signal path safely.
