Description
The Rupert Neve MBC is “The ultimate tool for creating digital signals with the tone, transparency, and power expected from Rupert Neve Designs”, and includes a full-featured analog limiter, 24-bit / 192 kHz conversion, where the signal can be accessed via two different paths, selectable for added tonal versatility.
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. the MBC is equipped with AES, S/PDIF and TOSLINK outputs capable of simultaneous output to multiple destinations. The word clock output allows the MBC to act as high-end master clock for your entire setup, and the word clock input allows external sync to a separate master clock if desired.
The MBC’s 24-bit/192kHz converters were developed after years of careful listening, and represent a further advancement of the design within the RMP-D8.
