Authentic Tape Sound Emulation
Experience the rich harmonic and dynamic qualities of analogue tape, perfectly replicated without the drawbacks of wow, flutter, or tape hiss for pristine audio quality.
KEY FEATURES
The Roger Mayer 456HD-500 is a 500 series module designed to replicate the dynamic and harmonic properties of analogue tape.
The Roger Mayer 456HD-500 features a unique ultra-high speed analogue circuit to emulate the classic combination of Ampex 456 tape with a Studer A80, recreating the harmonic and dynamic properties of this tape formulation and the frequency response, bias and tape head characteristics of this machine. Unlike software plug-ins, the 456HD-500 allows you to track with ZERO latency. It also has the advantage of providing the much sought-after feel & sound of tape but without wow & flutter, and tape hiss.
The 456HD-500 has an input and output control for gain-staging and a Bias to affect the tone of tape colouration, recreating the typical tone of 15ips and 30ips playback speed and anything in between. Markers are provided for each control and serve as a starting point which will work for most applications.
Ideal for tracking placed just before your A-to-D stage, or on your mixbus (with two modules), the 456HD-500 delivers all the benefits of analogue tape to your digital recording and mixing setup.
