We’re talking about the SPL Hermes, a professional mastering router that simplifies mix optimization. Never again get lost in a sea of patch cables while reconnecting your mastering chain. With Hermes, everything you need is in your rack, pre-patched and ready to go, exactly like world-class mastering facilities. Streamline your process and master it like an expert.

The routing matrix of your mastering studio

For decades, professional mastering companies have used matrix routers. Long before they were produced and available for purchase, mastering routers were specially designed by in-house engineers to the staff mastering engineers’ needs. So it’s no surprise that SPL, well-known for their excellent ultra-pro studio equipment, would recognize this requirement and create a completely professional mastering router, making simplified mastering workflows available to studios of all sizes. Hermes revolutionizes the mastery process.

Two integrated parallel mixing stages.

Hermes comes with two integrated parallel mix stages that may be assigned to any of the eight CPUs. This enables you to readily compare, say, two compressors with different parallel mix settings. Parallel mix stages are kept in memory with your processing chains.

Optimize your workflow and your current gear.

Hermes optimizes your mastering procedure and makes the most of your current processing hardware. Operations that were once exceedingly time-consuming, such as repatching to test a small modification, are no longer necessary. Hermes allows you to alter processor sequences on the fly, save them, and compare settings quickly. All with switches and relays, but no software. With Hermes, you will rediscover your processors, as the potential combinations and parallel mix stages offer up new sound realms.
