Rupert Neve MBP (Master Bus Processor)

AUDIO ANIMALS REVIEW

The Rupert Neve MBP is one of the best bus processors money can buy. The stereo field editor (SFE) is unique to the MBP and highly usable for both mixing and mastering. Silk textures as on all Rupert Neve products is truly special. Compression and limiting is the icing on the cake, making the MBP a highly versatile and usable bus processor.

FLAWLESS INTEGRATION

Designed by Mr. Rupert Neve, the MBP`s 72V topology harmonizes with any setup. Its mastering-grade detented pots refine dynamics, tone, and stereo field controls, enhancing headroom, dynamic range, and accuracy while preserving musicality.

DYNAMIC COMPRESSOR

Dual mono or stereo sources benefit from the MBP`s two compressor sections. With controls for ratio, attack, release, and more, you’re in control. Stereo link makes operation convenient, and “Blend” mixes compressed and dry signals for natural dynamics.

A single-knob limiter is deceptively powerful. Adaptive Release Technology responds intelligently to transients and constant signals, providing aggressive limiting without modulation distortion. Enjoy quick response and low-end smoothness.

STEREO FIELD EDITOR

Elevate M-S techniques with the MBP`s stereo field editor. Adjust width, depth, and bandpass filters for immersive soundscapes. Fine-tune using individual filters to tailor effects to your desired bandwidth, enhancing low frequencies and spreading instruments.
