The Rupert Neve Designs MBT is a two-channel Master bus transformer with custom-built Neve transform ers. Through these transformers, the MBT offers an incredible variety of possibilities to process input signals in many different ways. The MBT is equally suitable for a complete mix, groups, stems or individual sources, and its flexiblecontrols make it easy to shape and process the sound. The evolution of the legendary Silk circuit to Super Silk takes overtone manipulation to a whole new level with additional transformers for more control and flexibility. The Width section was developed to increase the stereo width without losing focus on the low frequencies. It is inspired by the Width controls of the SFE, but has two major differences. Firstly, the width control only works additively and with a wider range for more extreme operation. Secondly, the MBT has a variable HPF from 50Hz to 800Hz. The Color Comp of the Master Bus Transformer is designed to boost non-linear distortion and the "color" characteristics of the opto cell, giving the input signal a new sense of life and depth.
Control elements:
Input:
Input trim
High-pass filter (15Hz to 100Hz)
Equalizer:
LF band and HF band
Each band has gain control of +/- 9dB
Color Comp:
Compressor ratio can be set to a low (2:1) ratio for subtle and smooth compression or to a high (5:1) ratio for much more dramatic behavior
Blend control
Variable high-pass side-chain filter
Release time variably adjustable from 100ms to 1.5s
Width:
Variable HPF from 50Hz to 800Hz, width portion can be adjusted to keep low frequencies more centered in the mix while spreading the mids and highs
Width control additive
Super Silk:
For more dynamic saturation and soft clipping
Attenuation of the signal through Output Trim
Silk Red: accentuates overtones in the upper mids and highs
Silk Blue: accentuates overtones in the low and mid frequencies
Harmonics control: increases the overall musical overtone content; setting interacts with the settings of Silk Red and Silk Blue
