Reference Two
Three Monitor Paths. Two Speeds. One Beautifully Disciplined Machine.
Reference Two begins with a clean, calibrated tape path and gives you complete control over how far you take it. Each channel includes a three-way Input, Sync, and Reproduce monitor selector, recreating three distinct points in the signal path of a professional tape machine.
Input gives you the direct signal before the tape stages. Sync brings in the tighter, narrower, more textured response of monitoring through the record head. Reproduce opens the complete processed tape chain with its full frequency response, weight, and character. Each channel can use its own monitor path, opening up combinations that range from perfectly matched stereo operation to deliberately different textures on the left and right.
