Dual Path A-D Converter & Limiter
The Master Bus Converter from Rupert Neve Designs sets a new bar in digital signal conversion. Designed for the discerning ear, it caters to a broad range of studio applications, including tracking, mixing, and mastering. This piece of gear stands out for its dual-path analog drive circuitry, allowing audio to be fed through either a class-A transformerless path for unmatched transparency or through custom interstage audio transformers with adjustable Silk for a rich range of tonal enhancements. Combined with a highly musical limiter, the Master Bus Converter ensures your analog signals are digitized with extraordinary three-dimensional accuracy.
