Its \"Quality\" approach goes beyond a classic mastering EQ: it can also be used as a creative tool to shape a tone, tighten a source, or bring a sense of control and stability on buses (drums, vocals, guitars, synths) and on the master bus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to its precise filters and fidelity-oriented design, it is particularly suitable for productions where transparency and spectrum control are priorities: electronic music, modern pop, hybrid orchestral, post-production, as well as any project requiring surgical equalization without unwanted artifacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMain Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\"Surgical\" equalization with 7 complementary filters\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003ePSP MasterQ2 combines the essentials of a mastering EQ chain while remaining quick to handle during mixing. You have low cut and high cut filters with selectable slopes (12, 24, or 36 dB\/oct) to clean a signal without crushing it, bass and treble shelves that can be switched to peaking mode for more targeted corrections, and three parametric bands dedicated to sensitive areas (low-mid, middle, high-mid). Each band offers extended frequency and Q factor adjustments, allowing you to go from broad, musical correction to very narrow intervention on a resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eReadability and visual spectrum control\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe EQ graph provides an overview of the overall curve as well as each filter's contribution. This visualization helps you work quickly and accurately: it's easier to spot an overly broad correction, an over-processed area, or conversely, a cutoff slope to optimize. In mastering, this facilitates \"micro\" decisions (small corrections) that nonetheless change the perception of tonal balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHeadroom management: integrated limiting and soft-clipping\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to equalization, PSP MasterQ2 includes a selection of limiting and soft-clipping algorithms. The goal is not to replace a dedicated final limiter, but to offer musical control of level and instantaneous dynamics: taming a peak created by a shelf correction, slightly densifying a source, or securing a bus to avoid digital clipping. This section naturally fits into a mixing and pre-mastering workflow, keeping the signal under control without breaking the intent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eNumerical precision: 80-bit processing and stability with extreme settings\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInternal processing in 80-bit extended floating point aims to reduce accumulation errors and preserve filter precision, especially when stacking multiple bands or working with high gain and Q. The result: an EQ designed to remain stable, clean, and usable in demanding contexts (masters with high dynamics, fine corrections in the low spectrum, or tight adjustments on harmonics).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFAT: double sampling for clean high-frequency work\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003ePSP MasterQ2 features the proprietary \"Frequency Authentication Technique\" (FAT), based on a double sampling method. This approach is designed to improve filter behavior at the highest frequencies, while using high-order linear filters to limit phase errors and linear errors within the audio band. The idea is to benefit from oversampling advantages without introducing artifacts related to sample rate conversion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility and high sample rates\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plug-in can operate across a wide range of sample rates: the engine is designed to run from 44.1 kHz up to 768 kHz, with official support indicated from 44.1 to 192 kHz according to specifications. This operating margin suits both standard projects and high-resolution production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eFull software\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDownloadable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMac\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eOS X macOS 10.10 to macOS 12.01 Monterey\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWindows\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eWindows 7 to Windows 11\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSample rate range\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eoperation from 44.1 kHz up to 768 kHz (official support: 44.1 to 192 kHz)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of filters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e7\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow cut and high cut filters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eslopes of 12 dB\/oct, 24 dB\/oct, 36 dB\/oct\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeaking bands\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003elow-mid, middle, high-mid\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtended adjustments\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003efrequency and Q factor adjustable over a wide range\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInternal calculation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e80-bit extended floating point across all filters\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnnounced optimization\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003efilter operation even at the lowest frequencies with high gain and high Q\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAT technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003edouble sampling with high-order linear filters to limit phase and linear errors within the audio band\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated algorithms\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003elimiting\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PSP Audioware","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54359366205715,"sku":"398511","price":147.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/eeca22f1e6ad88c2b1d166321dbd564b23e7cb60_PSP_1131407.jpg?v=1788285870","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/psp-audioware-masterq-2-398511","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
