The ultimate tool for creating digital signals with the tone, transparency, and power expected from Rupert Neve Designs.
Whether you’re tracking, printing mixes or mastering, the Master Buss Converter is a revelation in quality and functionality of A-D conversion technology. The analog drive circuitry allows the MBC’s converter to be fed by either a class-A transformerless path for maximum transparency, or by custom interstage audio transformers with variable Silk for a wide variety of tonal enhancements. Coupled with an astonishingly musical limiter, the MBC is always the best choice to capture your analog signals with breathtakingly three-dimensional accuracy.
A Long Time Coming
With over seven decades of analog circuit design experience, Mr. Rupert Neve had never considered a converter worthy of his hallmark until the release of the RMP-D8 Dante-connected microphone preamplifier in 2018. While the RMP was primarily designed as a mic preamp, its adoption by engineers at the highest levels of recording, mastering, and touring as their preferred converter led to the development of the MBC, creating a new standard for PCM conversion quality.

The very best of class-A transformerless and custom transformer-coupled designs at the touch of a button.
Transformer Path with Silk / Texture
Add weight and punch with a dedicated custom inter-stage transformer before the converter. Silk / Texture allows you to dial in the harmonic content and drive saturation of this signal path.
Class-A Transformerless Path
Maximizes clarity and transparency of the input signal.
Active Compound Release Analog Limiting
Push your levels further with fewer artifacts than plug-ins, and introduce clip safety for tracking or broadcast.
Side Chain HPF
Tighten the response of your limiting with a 12dB / Octave SC HPF sweepable from 20Hz to 250Hz
24-bit/192kHz Reference Conversion
Unparalleled analog capture with precision clocking using top-of-the-line chips.
Multi-Standard Connectivity
Connect to any of your digital devices with AES, S/PDIF and TOSLINK all simultaneously available.
Precision Clocking
Maximum accuracy with minimal jitter and phase noise, able to operate as a master clock or sync from another master
