Overview 

Knif Mastering Controller is an audio mastering console featuring a vast array of processing and routing options for commanding the whole mastering chain. The console is built using state-of-the-art components and the result is a unit with unparalleled transparency and flexibility. 

The controller features Elma® rotary controls and high-quality push buttons manufactured in Japan. The buttons are illuminated with a sophisticated touch and a nice low volume “click”. 

The controller can be equipped with a built-in AES/EBU router for selecting between a multitude of digital sources, thus narrowing down the amount of DAC channels required. 

As default, the unit operates with an external power supply but also an analog 2U metering bridge with a built-in power supply is available. 

Mastering Controllers are exclusively built to order.
