1. What is bx_digital V2?

bx_digital  V2  is  a  latency-free  11-band  stereo  EQ  and  stereo 
De-Esser  that  works  in  several  modes,  among  them  2  
sophisticated  M/S  modes  for  mastering  and  microphone 
recordings.

It is based upon the “modern classic” bx_digital V1 and the analog 
bx1 EQ. We developed this hi-end analogue EQ 2006/2007 and 
we offered an emulation of this EQ ever since.

The  hardware  bx1  is  our  „MODUS  EQ“,  an  analogue  high  class 
equalizer that runs in four different modes, giving you up to three 
channels of extremely musical filters:

• 

a conventional L(eft) and R(ight) stereo mode for any stereo/
dual mono applications.

• 

a  stereo  mode  with  a  built-in  M/S-matrix,  mainly  used  for 
stereo mastering purposes.

• 

a 3-channel mode (one stereo PLUS one mono channel) for 
surround mastering & recording studios purposes.

• 

an  M/S-Recording-mode  that  will  use  two  individual 
microphone-signals (M&S-signals) fed into the bx1 to create 
a  highly  mono  compatible  stereo  signal,  mainly  used  for 
orchestral  recordings,  choirs  or  for  recording  accoustic 
instruments in general.

The  hardware  bx2  is  an  „Image  Shifter“  and  De-Esser  that  can 
work in M/S mode as well and therefore is the perfect extension 
to  our  bx1  when  it  comes  to  mastering  stereo  signals.  It  also 
includes  a  „Mono-Maker“  that  allows  you  to  mono  the  bass 
frequencies of your mix from 20 Hz up to 22 kHz to make sure 
your bass-section is „tight“ and compatible for vinyl-pressings.

The bx_digital V1 was an exact emulation of both units´ features, 
our state-of-the-art equalizer bx1 and its expansion unit bx2, with 
only one mode of the hardware (the 3-channels-mode) not working 
(for audio host standard reasons). Together these two units are 
the perfect choice if you are looking for an extremely musical and
