Legendary Audio Masterpiece 2

Treelady Mastering recently took delivery of a Masterpiece Analog Mastering System, a world-class device that evolved from the concept by Billy Stull to the design by Mr. Rupert Neve. Produced by Legendary Audio, the masterpiece reflects Mr. Neve’s most refined designs in the realms of equalization, compression, transformers, filters, and many other areas. Special features include genuine 1073 transformers, a miniature 2-track tape record/play head system, and transformers from the legendary George Martin Air Montserrat console. With only about 40 units installed world-wide, having a Masterpiece is truly a crown jewel in any mastering rig.
