Key Features of the TC Electronic Finalizer

The Finalizer is a 19-inch rack unit conceived as an "all-in-one" solution for mastering before software plugins dominated the market.

Multiband Compression: It splits the audio signal into different frequency bands and applies compression separately to each band. This allows for precise dynamics control without one band excessively influencing another.
Limiting and Maximization: The Finalizer features powerful limiting algorithms to maximize the overall loudness of a track and prevent clipping.
"Wizard" Mode: This function analyzes the input signal and automatically suggests suitable mastering settings, making the process accessible even to less experienced users.
Dithering and Shaping: The device offers tools for bit depth reduction and noise shaping (dithering) to optimize digital signals for various formats (e.g., CD quality).
Connectivity: It provides both analog (XLR) and digital inputs and outputs (S/PDIF, AES/EBU), allowing flexible integration into different studio setups.
