Heritage Audio SYMPH EQ Master Bus Stereo Asymptotic Equalizer

Heritage Audio SYMPH EQ Master Bus Stereo Asymptotic Equalizer: Precision Tone Shaping for Your Master Bus
The Heritage Audio SYMPH EQ Master Bus Stereo Asymptotic Equalizer is a high-performance tool designed to refine and perfect your mixes, particularly for mastering applications. By placing this stereo equalizer on your master bus, you can add a smooth, transparent, and natural touch to your sound with its exceptional control over both the high and low frequencies. Featuring a modern twist on classic Baxandall-style shelving EQs, the SYMPH EQ delivers precise tone shaping, ensuring your final mix remains tight, sweet, and perfectly balanced with an ultra-transparent sonic character.

Unmatched Precision with 0.5dB-Precision Rotary Controls
The SYMPH EQ offers a level of precision typically reserved for high-end studio equipment. Its 0.5dB-precision rotary controls provide unparalleled accuracy, allowing you to make subtle adjustments to the high and low frequencies of your mix without introducing phase distortions or other sonic artifacts. This level of control ensures that your tone shaping is not only accurate but also retains the integrity of the original sound, making it an ideal tool for professional mastering engineers who require extreme precision in their work.

M-S Processing for Accurate Bass and High Frequency Management
One of the standout features of the SYMPH EQ is its onboard M-S (Mid-Side) processing, which gives you the ability to control the center and sides of your mix independently. This allows for precise management of the center bass, while boosting hard-panned high frequencies without affecting the center elements. The M-S processing is perfect for mastering, as it enables you to treat the stereo image with precision, making sure that the bass stays tight in the center and the high frequencies are well-defined across the stereo field. In M-S mode, the side highpass filter works similarly to the elliptical-type filters used in vintage disk cutters, providing a vintage character while maintaining modern accuracy.

Asymptotic EQ Curves and 2-Pole Filters for Ultra-Low and Ultra-High Control
The SYMPH EQ utilizes asymptotic shelving curves that offer an impressive level of control over both the ultra-high and sub-low frequencies in your mix. The amplitude of the boost or cut increases until the asymptotic value is reached, ensuring that extreme frequencies are well-controlled and do not interfere with the rest of the mix. This design keeps your sound tight and sweet while offering maximum clarity across all frequency ranges. Additionally, the 2-pole highpass and lowpass filters make cleaning up sources a breeze, allowing you to easily remove unwanted low-end rumble or excessive high frequencies.

Built for Durability and High-Fidelity Sound with Premium Components
Heritage Audio is known for its top-shelf components, and the SYMPH EQ is no exception. With Carnhill transformers and 73-type Class A output stages, this unit provides a robust and high-fidelity sound that brings warmth and presence to your recordings. The Carnhill transformers ensure that the input and output are clean and balanced, while the Class A output stages further minimize unwanted distortion, resulting in a pure and transparent sound. The SYMPH EQ also features balanced, ground-free I/O and gold-plated XLR jacks to ensure rock-solid connections for optimal performance, making it an excellent choice for any professional studio environment.
