The Lightwaves interface, a mastering EQ in a hardware layout.

WHAT'S UNDER THE HOOD

The last tonal decision in the chain.

CHANNELS

Dual channel, left/right or mid/side

Two EQ rows that switch between left/right and mid/side. LINK makes channel 2 follow channel 1.

BANDS

Four stepped bands

Low shelf, two bells and a high shelf, ±5 dB in half-dB steps, with eleven selectable frequencies per band.

WIDTH

Per-band width

Five widths from loose to tight on every band. Bells still tighten as you push them.

AUTO GAIN

Loudness-matched

A K-weighted trim holds the level steady as you boost, so you judge the tone and not the volume.

TUBE

Optional tube stage

A class-A vacuum tube stage that colours only your boosts. Cuts and the dry signal never touch it. Zero latency, on or off.

TRANSPARENT

Exact when flat

A band at 0 dB is a true bypass, and switching bands and channels in and out is click-free.

4 per channel
RANGE
