Master EQ-432

On the bench it behaves like a clean tool, scoring 9.6/10 on staying flat, low distortion, low noise, and steady behavior at any level. It barely touches your tone — the level holds within ±0.03 dB right across the hearing range, so what goes in comes out sounding the same. It adds almost none of its own edge (at or below 0.013%), so it keeps the sound clean. Its own background hiss is below what the bench can even measure, so it adds no noise you would hear. It treats quiet and loud almost the same (within -81 dB) — only a trace of level-dependent behavior. It delays the audio by 19 samples (0.4 ms at 48 kHz) and reports that delay, so your DAW lines it back up.

Measured score 9.6/10 — flatness, low THD, low noise and linearity, evenly weighted toward a clean pass-through. How scoring works.

A review score is shown only when at least two independent sources — published reviews or genuine user discussion — return usable text. Launch or announcement coverage alone does not qualify, so some plugins read N/A here while still carrying a full measured score above.
