SIMON 的全新版本加入了一个数学上精确的母带均衡器运算放大器(OP-AMP)模型,并提供三种左右声道矩阵模式:
-
EQUAL(均衡):左右声道共享相同的谐波结构。
-
MODERN(现代):左右声道具有细微差异的谐波结构。
-
VINTAGE(复古):左右声道具有明显不同的谐波结构。
软件提供两种饱和模型:OP-AMP,忠实还原硬件特性;OP-AMP LP(线性相位),采用相同的信号链,但消除了高频段的相位旋转。此外,还保留了 SIMON 原有的 DIGITAL 数字纯净饱和模式。
OP-AMP 和 OP-AMP LP 均支持 HQ 和 ULTRA 高质量模式,以确保处理质量与声音纯净度。我们还对系统中的其他非线性特性进行了建模,使整体声音获得更丰富的动态表现、活力与音乐性,甚至超越了原版硬件的表现。
OP-AMP —— 忠实还原硬件特性
OP-AMP 的相位响应曲线,展示了高频段的相位旋转现象。
原汁原味的 OP-AMP 模型忠实还原了硬件电路:信号支路会经过变压器,而 OP-AMP → 变压器这一信号路径会在高频段产生相位旋转,与原始硬件的表现完全一致。它还原的正是硬件本身的声音,包括其独特的音色与个性。
OP-AMP LP —— 线性相位模式
OP-AMP LP 的相位响应曲线,在整个频段内保持线性相位。
OP-AMP LP 对相同的信号链进行建模,但消除了高频段的相位旋转,在保留相同谐波特征的同时,提供更干净、相位线性的声音。如果你希望获得 OP-AMP 的模拟音色,同时让高频部分保持完美的线性相位,就可以选择这一模式。
真正的母带级均衡器
SIMON 的中央控制区域,包含品牌标识和 INPUT TRIM(输入电平调节)控件。
左右两个独立声道均配备高频与低频搁架式均衡器、三个全参数均衡频段,以及独立的输出电平调节。这是一套完整、对称的母带级均衡系统,其核心是中央 INPUT TRIM 控件,用于驱动模拟风格的饱和处理级。
开启 AGC(自动增益控制)后,均衡器输出电平会自动匹配。因此,你可以自由调整均衡,而不会因为均衡操作导致饱和处理级获得更高的驱动电平。
三个参数均衡频段
SIMON 的三个参数均衡频段,分别提供 GAIN(增益)、Q 值和频率调节。
LOW(低频)、MID(中频)和 HIGH(高频)三个频段,在左右声道上均配备独立增益、分档式 Q 值调节,以及母带级频率选择刻度。
无论是用于音色塑造的宽频、音乐性均衡,还是用于修正特定频率问题的精细、精准处理,都能轻松胜任,并支持精确、可重复的参数调用。
富有音乐性的高频与低频搁架均衡
SIMON 的高频与低频搁架均衡控制。
宽缓的高频搁架可增强空气感与高频厚度;低频搁架则可以在 50 Hz 或 100 Hz 之间切换,用于增加温暖感或控制低频能量。
这些都是经典而柔和的母带均衡手法,能够在三个参数均衡频段之外,对整体音色进行自然调整。
模拟风格饱和处理
SIMON 的 SAT 饱和度指示灯与 INPUT TRIM 输入电平调节控件。
INPUT TRIM 用于驱动内置的模拟风格饱和器。驱动电平越高,SIMON 添加的谐波色彩与声音密度就越丰富。
实时 SAT 指示灯可以准确显示饱和器的工作强度,而每个声道独立的 OUTPUT 输出电平调节,则可以帮助你匹配处理前后的响度,让你专注于判断音色变化,而不是被音量大小所影响。
声道联动与中侧处理(Link & Mid/Side)
SIMON 的 LINK 声道联动与 M/S 中侧模式指示灯。
LINK 功能可以联动左右声道的控制参数,方便快速进行对称的立体声调整。
M/S 模式则可以将处理方式从 Left/Right(左右声道)切换为 Mid/Side(中侧),让你分别对立体声中央部分和两侧声场进行均衡处理,实现母带制作级别的立体声控制能力。
The new version of SIMON adds a mathematically perfect model of the OP-AMP from a mastering equalizer, with three L/R matrix modes: EQUAL – both channels share the same harmonic structure; MODERN – each channel carries a subtly different harmonic structure; and VINTAGE – each channel has a distinctly different harmonic structure. It comes as two saturation models – OP-AMP, true to the hardware, and OP-AMP LP (Linear Phase), the same chain with its upper-band phase rotation resolved – alongside DIGITAL, SIMON’s original clean saturation. OP-AMP and OP-AMP LP run in the HQ and ULTRA quality modes for guaranteed quality and cleanliness. We have also modelled further non-linearities that bring dynamics, liveliness and musicality into the whole system – surpassing the hardware original.
OP-AMP – true to the hardware
OP-AMP phase response showing rotation in the upper band
The authentic OP-AMP is faithful to the circuit: its signal branch feeds a transformer, and that OP-AMP → transformer path rotates the phase in the upper band – exactly like the original. It is the sound of the hardware, character and all.
OP-AMP LP – Linear Phase
OP-AMP LP phase response, phase-linear across the band
OP-AMP LP models the very same signal chain but resolves that upper-band phase rotation – a cleaner, phase-linear take on the same harmonic character. Reach for it when you want the OP-AMP colour with a perfectly linear top end.
A true mastering equalizer
SIMON centre section with the wordmark and INPUT TRIM
Two independent channels, each with high and low shelves, three fully parametric bands and its own output trim – a complete, symmetrical mastering EQ built around a central INPUT TRIM that feeds the analog-style saturation stage. With AGC on, the level leaving the EQ is matched automatically, so you can equalize freely without driving the saturation any harder.
Three parametric bands
SIMON three parametric bands – GAIN, Q and frequency
LOW, MID and HIGH – each with its own GAIN, stepped Q and a mastering-grade frequency grid, on both channels. Broad and musical for tone-shaping, tight and surgical when you need to fix a single frequency, with exact, repeatable recalls.
Musical high & low shelves
SIMON high and low shelf controls
A broad high-frequency shelf for air and top-end weight, and a low shelf switchable at 50 or 100 Hz for warmth and bottom-end control – the classic, gentle mastering moves that sit outside the parametric bands.
Analog-style saturation
SIMON SAT saturation indicator and INPUT TRIM
INPUT TRIM drives a built-in analog-style saturator – the harder you push, the more harmonic colour and density SIMON adds. The live SAT indicator shows exactly how hard it is working, and the per-channel OUTPUT trim lets you match level so you judge tone, not loudness.
Link & Mid/Side
SIMON LINK and M/S mode indicators
LINK ties the left and right controls together for fast, symmetrical stereo moves. M/S switches processing from Left/Right to Mid/Side, so you can equalize the centre and the stereo sides independently – mastering-grade stereo control.
