Key Features
-
WSM PEQ-2.0: A solid-state mastering EQ known for its exceptional transient response. It provides the musical curves of a Pultec but with the surgical clarity and low distortion required for high-end mastering.
-
Precision Filtering: Includes a dedicated filter section (FLT-2.0) designed by Tommy Bianchi. It features highly linear cutting filters with specialized modes for Vinyl cutting and standard mastering duties.
-
Advanced Routing: Supports dual-mono and Mid-Side (M/S) processing, allowing for precise control over the stereo field and tonal balance.
-
Harmonic Refinement: Comes with two high-quality line preamplifiers that add a subtle sense of "analog weight" to the low end and overall polish to the high frequencies.
-
Euphoric High End: Users often praise White for its ability to add a beautiful, airy "sheen" to the top end that sounds natural and never harsh.
Pro Tip: White is legendary for its High-Shelf boost. Even at aggressive settings, it adds a luxurious "air" and expensive-sounding sheen to the mix that is difficult to replicate with standard digital EQs.
