What We Think

The Bettermaker Mastering Equalizer is one of those rare pieces that genuinely changes how you work—not just how things sound.

At its core, it’s a fully analog EQ, with all the depth, openness, and musicality you’d expect from high-end mastering gear. But what makes it stand apart is how seamlessly it blends that analog sound with modern digital control. You’re getting the tone and dimension of analog, with the speed, precision, and recall of a plugin—and that combination is hard to overstate.

Sonically, it’s incredibly flexible. Between the parametric bands, passive-style EQ section, and filters, you can make everything from subtle half-dB mastering moves to more intentional tonal shaping. And it stays smooth while doing it—never harsh, never overhyped, just clean, detailed, and controlled in a way that feels trustworthy on critical material.

Where it really earns its place, though, is workflow. The ability to instantly recall settings, automate parameters, and A/B changes without losing your place fundamentally changes the mastering process. You spend less time trying to recreate settings and more time actually listening and making decisions.

In use, it feels like the best of both worlds: analog tone with digital precision. Whether you’re mastering, mixing, or even using it on stems, it’s the kind of tool that helps you move faster while still sounding better.

For engineers who want uncompromising analog sound without giving up modern workflow, the Bettermaker Mastering Equalizer is a forward-thinking piece that truly delivers.

Digital Section

The sound of the Mastering Equalizer is of course based on the quality of its analog filters, precisely matched capacitors and inductors. But all the control and user interactions are performed in the digital domain. This allows us to incorporate options and possibilities not found in any standard analog equalizers:

Save and recall presets from on-board memory (400 slots available)
Instant reset of all parameters
Rapid, precise and repeatable adjustments
Precisely linked stereo operation with the ease of a single control
DAW automation and recall of all available parameters

The digital section of the Mastering Equalizer is based around high speed, 32-bit micro-controller, with dedicated firmware programmed into its memory (with the possibility of updating the firmware via USB connection). It controls the parameters af all analog filters, watches over the user interface, presets management, audio measurement, USB connectivity and other Mastering Equalizer functions.

Front panel and LCD touchscreen

The front panel of the Mastering Equalizer is build around big LCD touchscreen, that allows you to control almost all functions available in the device. It will show you live representation of the EQ curve and allow you to adjust filter gain and frequency with the touch and drag of your finger (check unique Frequency Search function!). Apart from that, you can also monitor input/output levels, access the FFT real time analyzer or store and recall presets using on-screen QWERTY keyboard.

DAW integration

The Bettermaker Mastering Equalizer can communicate with your DAW via USB connection. The unit appear as a HID device and can be managed via Bettermaker Mastering Equalizer Plugin.
