Mastering Console V2 brings the sound and character of the one-of-a-kind tube mastering desk built exclusively for Safari HQ into your DAW as a complete mastering chain.

The plug-in combines analogue saturation, musical EQ, stereo shaping and precise dynamics control. Tube saturation with Clean and Hot settings, high and low cut filters with selectable slopes, the Bax EQ with smooth high and low shelves, an M/S matrix and a de-esser lead to a true-peak limiter with dedicated input drive and metering. Vintage VU meters show input, gain reduction and output levels. From subtle tonal adjustments to final limiting, it gives your mixes the final polish.
