🎚️ Precision Mastering Equalizer – Shape Your Sound with Confidence

At the heart of Lemur Audio SIMON 2 is a sophisticated equalization system engineered for accurate and musical frequency shaping.

Each processing channel includes high and low shelving EQs, three fully parametric bands, and dedicated high-pass and low-pass filters.

This comprehensive architecture allows engineers to make detailed tonal adjustments without relying on multiple separate equalizer plugins.

🔊 Low Shelf – Add Warmth, Weight & Depth

Enhance the foundation of your audio using the dedicated low-frequency shelving section.

Switch between 50 Hz and 100 Hz to shape the tonal balance of bass instruments, drums, and complete mixes.

Perfect for:

• Adding weight to kick drums

• Enhancing bass guitar warmth

• Strengthening electronic low-end

• Refining mastering tonal balance

• Improving the body of acoustic recordings

✨ High Shelf – Enhance Clarity, Presence & Air

Bring additional brightness and openness to your recordings using SIMON 2's musical high-frequency shelving EQ.

Create subtle mastering polish or enhance the presence of individual instruments.

Use it to refine vocals, brighten acoustic guitars, enhance percussion detail, or add openness to a stereo mix.

🎧 Achieve polished, detailed high frequencies without unnecessarily aggressive processing.

🎛️ Three Fully Parametric EQ Bands

SIMON 2 includes three flexible parametric bands per channel, providing detailed control over important frequency ranges.

Each band offers adjustable frequency, gain, and stepped Q settings, allowing targeted corrections and broader tonal adjustments.

Use these controls to:

• 🎤 Improve vocal clarity and presence.

• 🥁 Shape drum attack and tonal balance.

• 🎸 Refine guitar and bass frequencies.

• 🎹 Enhance piano and synthesizer detail.

• 🎧 Reduce unwanted resonances.

• 🎚️ Perfect the tonal balance of complete mixes.

From precise frequency correction to broad musical enhancement, SIMON 2 offers the control required for professional audio production.

🔥 Four Analog-Inspired Saturation Models – Add Warmth & Harmonic Character

Go beyond traditional equalization with SIMON 2's four selectable saturation engines.

These carefully designed processing models introduce different harmonic characteristics, allowing producers to enhance recordings with subtle color or more noticeable analog-inspired character.

🎧 1. Original – Clean & Transparent Saturation

The Original model, previously known as Digital, delivers gentle harmonic enhancement while maintaining a clean, controlled sound.

Ideal for applications where tonal accuracy and transparency are essential.

Perfect for: Mastering, acoustic instruments, subtle stereo-bus processing, and transparent mixing.

🔥 2. Class-A – Rich Analog Depth & Presence

Experience the character of a modeled Class-A discrete line stage.

This mode introduces additional harmonic richness, high-frequency presence, and perceived depth.

Use Class-A saturation to give vocals, drums, guitars, and complete mixes a fuller, more expressive character.

Perfect for: Analog-style mixing, warm mastering, vocals, and instrument buses.

⚡ 3. Op-Amp – Controlled Harmonic Enhancement

The Op-Amp saturation model recreates the character of a modeled operational amplifier.

It provides controlled harmonic processing and maintains a relatively clean response at stronger input levels.

Ideal for producers who want subtle analog coloration without excessive distortion.

Perfect for: Electronic instruments, drum processing, stereo mixing, and detailed mastering.

🌊 4. Tube – Warm, Smooth & Musical Saturation

Add classic valve-inspired warmth with SIMON 2's Tube saturation engine.

Introduce smooth harmonics, additional density, and gentle tonal coloration to digital recordings.

Perfect for:

• Warm vocal processing

• Acoustic guitar enhancement

• Smooth instrument coloration

• Analog-inspired mix processing

• Gentle mastering saturation

🎛️ Four Unique Saturation Characters – One Complete Professional Equalizer.

🎚️ Input Trim – Take Complete Control of Saturation

SIMON 2 features a central Input Trim control that determines how strongly the incoming signal drives the selected saturation model.

At lower input levels, processing remains relatively subtle and transparent.

Increase the input drive to introduce additional harmonic content, tonal density, and analog-inspired coloration.

A dedicated visual saturation indicator provides useful feedback about the amount of nonlinear processing being applied.

🔥 Subtle Warmth or Bold Analog Character – You Decide.

🎧 Advanced Mid/Side Processing – Enhance Stereo Width & Depth

Take your stereo mastering workflow further with SIMON 2's powerful Mid/Side processing capabilities.

Switch between conventional Left/Right processing and Mid/Side mode to control different components of your stereo signal.

🎤 MID Channel – Refine the Center of Your Mix

The Mid channel represents the center information of a stereo recording.

Use it to refine elements such as centered vocals, bass, kick drums, and lead instruments.

Creative Applications:

• Enhance vocal presence.

• Refine centered bass frequencies.

• Control unwanted midrange buildup.

• Improve focus and tonal balance.

• Strengthen important elements in the center of a mix.

🌌 SIDE Channel – Shape Stereo Atmosphere

The Side channel represents differences between the left and right signals.

Use Side processing to shape stereo ambience, guitars, synthesizers, and reverberation.

Creative Applications:

• Add brightness to stereo ambience.

• Refine the tonal character of wide instruments.

• Reduce excessive low-frequency content on the sides.

• Enhance perceived openness.

• Improve the balance of stereo effects.

🎧 Achieve Detailed Stereo Control Without Compromising Your Creative Workflow.

🔗 Stereo LINK – Fast & Precise Dual-Channel Processing

SIMON 2 includes a dedicated LINK function that connects both equalizer channels for simultaneous adjustments.

Enable LINK to make matching changes across a stereo signal.

Disable LINK when independent channel correction is required.

This flexibility is particularly valuable for mastering engineers working with asymmetric stereo recordings or detailed Mid/Side processing.

🎚️ Make Accurate, Repeatable Adjustments with Maximum Workflow Efficiency.

⚡ Dedicated High-Pass & Low-Pass Filters – Clean Up Your Mix

SIMON 2 includes professional filtering tools positioned before the main equalization section.

These dedicated filters help remove unwanted frequency content before additional tonal processing.

🔊 High-Pass Filter – Remove Unwanted Low Frequencies

Control subsonic rumble, unnecessary low-end buildup, and unwanted low-frequency content.

Useful for cleaning acoustic recordings, instrument buses, and complete mixes.

✨ Low-Pass Filter – Smooth Harsh High Frequencies

Refine excessive brightness, reduce unwanted high-frequency energy, and create smoother tonal balance.

Both filters are designed for zero added latency and can be fully removed from the signal path when disabled.

🎛️ Clean Your Frequencies. Improve Clarity. Achieve Professional Tonal Balance.

🎚️ Automatic Gain Compensation – Make Better Mixing Decisions

One of SIMON 2's practical mastering features is its automatic gain compensation system.

When adjusting equalization, changes in loudness can sometimes make processed audio appear better simply because it is louder.

SIMON 2 helps reduce this problem by automatically compensating for level changes during EQ adjustments.

This makes it easier to compare tonal differences and evaluate the actual impact of your processing.

Independent output trims provide further control over final channel levels.

🎧 Focus on Sound Quality, Not Just Loudness.

💎 Three Professional Processing Modes – Choose Your Quality

SIMON 2 offers three processing modes designed for different stages of music production.

All four saturation models remain available across the supported quality modes.

Choose efficient processing during production and higher-quality settings when preparing final masters.

🎨 Customizable Interface – Create Your Perfect Studio Workflow

SIMON 2 combines professional audio processing with a flexible, customizable graphical interface.

🎛️ FULL Layout

A uniform faceplate design provides a clean, consistent appearance across the interface.

🎚️ COMBINED Layout

Grayed shelving sections make it easier to distinguish EQ controls during detailed mastering work.

🌈 Adjustable HUE Control

Customize the plugin faceplate using a wide range of colors.

🔍 Adjustable Popup Size

Resize parameter-value displays for improved readability on different screens.

Interface color preferences can be saved separately for individual plugin instances.

Work with an interface that matches your studio preferences and production environment.
