MBT
Rupert Neve Designs is renowned for its excellence in audio equipment design, and MBT, as a signature product, undeniably reinforces the company's leading position in the audio industry. The SX Pro team conducted a comprehensive test on MBT, assessing its performance in sound clarity, dynamic range, and tonal quality, which revealed its impressive capabilities. They tested it with various instruments and sources, including guitar, bass, drums, and vocals, to ensure thorough and accurate evaluations.The results showed that MBT consistently delivers clear, natural, and dynamic sound across a variety of audio sources. A wide range of sound samples allows listeners to appreciate MBT’s adaptability to different musical genres, including rock, jazz, and classical music, where it significantly enhances the emotional impact of the music.The SX Pro team's review provides valuable insight for music producers and audio enthusiasts. With its exceptional performance and versatility, MBT is set to become a new favorite in the audio field. We look forward to more exciting, innovative products from Rupert Neve Designs in the future.

Master Bus Transformer (MBT) is a mastering bus processor launched by the Rupert Neve Designs team. It integrates many of Rupert Neve Designs' core technologies and design concepts, providing an incredible range of sound shaping options that can be used to beautify, enhance, and broaden audio materials. It is the ultimate tool for adding musical color.Color Comp in MBT is a newly designed optical compression designed to deliver colorful compression characteristics and non-linear distortion. It offers a choice of 2:1 or 5:1 compression ratios for subtle or exaggerated effects, and its variable high-pass sidechain filter adjusts frequency band response to keep bass unaffected by compression while controlling the rest of the source material. part. The mix control makes it easy to mix uncompressed and compressed signals in parallel. Color Comp can even introduce beautiful non-linear harmonic content with slight gain reduction, and its wide range of variable release times can be set to be smoother or more intense. Color Comp has a 20 dB Class A compensation gain, which can provide sufficient level to compensate for the reduction in gain and ensure that the MBT can drive the subsequent transformers normally.

Inspired by the award-winning MBP Stereo Sound Field Processor, MBT's width adjustment section increases perceived stereo dispersion without causing the sound to lose low-frequency focus. A variable high-pass filter ensures low frequencies remain centered, while a width control adds dispersion to the mids and highs, while subtly shaping the air above the band to avoid accentuating harsh sounds.

Super SILK is the latest evolution of RND's most popular dye circuit design. The SILK section of the MBT features independent red, blue, harmonic and diode drive controls, giving you full access to harmonic enhancement capabilities. As with other RND SILK circuit-equipped devices, the red SILK circuit enhances harmonics in the mids and highs for added sparkle and shine. Blue SILK highlights the harmonics of the bass and mid-bass, adding depth and weight. Harmonic control increases the overall harmonic content by saturating the MBT's custom interstage transformers. Finally, the switchable Zener driver is a diode-based circuit that adds to the aural beauty of the sound by introducing most of the odd harmonic content as the signal approaches the edge of the MBT.
