Offering 40 unique templates, the console loads chains explicitly crafted for various genres, providing a head start to your mix no matter your area of focus. With its waveform display and free companion app, it’s simple to set parameters and perfect your tracks at home, in the studio, or on the road.

Master every genre
Loaded with 40 unique mastering templates called Styles, the Lurssen Mastering Console customizes its mastering processing chain for hip-hop, hard rock, heavy metal, country, Americana, and more. Load a track, choose a template, and you’re good to go. When settings are linked, the parameters, presets, and styles remain consistent across all instances on a multichannel bus, allowing more precision and coherency over surround operation. Adjust frequencies with a five-band EQ and Push knob that allows subtle bumps in EQ for crucial moments in the mix. View it all by using one of three displays: Studio, which offers straightforward controls; Chain view for individual processor adjustments; or Wave to see the audio's waveform as well as add automation or loops. Finally, a pair of VU meters with a stereo/mono switch accurately represents the average program volume, allowing you to check phase coherence quickly.
