TMS Golden Edition

Tube Magnetic Saturator is a homemade hardware piece that I built some years ago. DTE is the first library come from that unit. The last evolution includes a discrete input stage, a vintage magnetic-tape head circuit followed by a modern class A tube preamp with 6 valves working at high voltage: 300V. The magnetic-head is digitally controlled to emulate, in analog domain, different speeds and tape printing, while a discrete solid state preamp drives the signal to saturate it.

N09 Golden Edition

The original often called "Metal Knob” N09 was a rack mounted adaptation of the Class A/B compressor/limiter console modules, which were a later incarnation of the fully Class A N54. All use what's called a "diode-bridge" topology to achieve gain reduction. It is a stereo compressor with an independent limiter section, this is the most desirable version with the original transformers which sounds incredibly musical.

MTC Golden Edition

The inclusion of valves in this console is not just a token addition. They form an essential part of the signal path at several key points within the console: every channel and mic preamp incorporates an ECC83/12AX7A valve stage, as do the Group and Stereo master MixBus amplifiers.
