Roger Mayer 456 HD Stereo Analogue Solid State Tape Recorder

The Roger Mayer 456HD is a stereo, analogue tape simulator, designed to bring the desirable qualities of tape into the DAW world. The 456HD features input, output, presence, bass and treble controls allowing you to dial in the exact sound you want, whilst imparting the dynamic response and harmonic properties of tape onto digital recordings.

The ultra high speed analogue processing will effectively improve the dynamics both when using it as a pre-recording analogue processor before a conventional DAW and also in post playback from the DAW. Live recording or tracking using multiple instances of the 456HD® are very beneficial for Drum, Vocal and Instruments and in many instances obviate the need for further limiting to control input levels. What the 456HD® Process brings to the table cannot be duplicated by any digital plug-in and compliments their use as all of the difficult control of the source signal has been taken care of by using the 456HD® Process so as they say give it a listen.

The additional Equalisation Controls further enhance the ability to adjust the tone and characteristics of these game changing units.
