Unmatched precision and transparency
The Harrison Mastering EQ sets a new standard for mastering equalizers with its ultra-fidelity design and revolutionary filter shape. Originally developed for precise speaker management, this EQ allows for broad yet musical changes, preserving the harmonic balance of your mix. Unlike traditional EQs, its unique filter design ensures that adjustments across adjacent bands result in a flat response, avoiding the character-altering peaks and valleys common with other tools. This feature is critical for mastering, where maintaining the integrity of the original mix is paramount.
Comprehensive control for every mix
Offering 31 bands of precision control, the Mastering EQ covers the entire audible spectrum, allowing for meticulous adjustments. Each band can be boosted or cut by up to 14dB, providing the flexibility needed to achieve the desired tonal balance. The EQ's user-friendly interface ensures that adjustments are both fast and intuitive, enhancing your workflow and allowing you to concentrate on the sound.
Refined filtering for clarity
Harrison's high-pass and low-pass filters are renowned for their effectiveness and musicality. With the Mastering EQ, you have access to these gentle yet powerful filters, capable of refining your mix's sound. Whether you're cutting out low-end rumble or high-end hiss, the filters' adjustable slopes and frequencies ensure that your mix remains crisp and clean, highlighting the quality of Harrison's EQ design.
Innovative DSP curve-match technology
The DSP curve-match technology is a standout feature, allowing for seamless transitions between adjacent bands. This capability ensures smooth and natural-sounding adjustments, free from phase issues or artifacts. It's an essential feature for mastering, where the goal is to enhance without altering the mix's fundamental character.
Advanced RTA analyzers for precision mastering
The "Graph" and "Lightning" modes of the RTA Analyzer bring innovative visualization tools to your mastering arsenal. The "Graph" mode offers 1/10 octave precision, particularly in the low frequencies, allowing for accurate identification and correction of imbalances. The "Lightning" mode provides a dynamic view of the frequency spectrum, highlighting transient peaks and enabling precise adjustments. These analyzers are invaluable for mastering, providing a high degree of accuracy and confidence in your final mix.
