2000-3 Sound On Sound (UK)

2 pages review, page 218
Author: Hugh Robjohns

The Finalizer 96K remains an extremely comprehensive and capable machine with enormous flexibility, providing all the tools one could possibly need to add the right degree of polish to any track. [...]. For the professional or very serious semi-professional, the latest Finalizer remains at the top of the 'best-buy' list.

Combining a host of processing functions in a single-rack-space package, TC Electronic's Finalizer 96 has more to offer than any unit I have ever used.

Der Finalizer ist für viele Anwendungen ein sehr gutes Werkzeug, um ein gutes Mastering-Processing durchzuführen.

Der Finalizer definiert den Studiostandard, und seine Verbreitung ist enorm hoch. In der 96-kHz-Version ist er wieder am Puls der Zeit und nach wie vor eine gute Wahl.

1999-7 Surround Professional (US)

2 pages review, page 70
Author: Robert Margouleff/Brant Biles

With the Finalizers, I have more controllable EQ, compression, limiting, expansion, and bit maximation than with any large-scale digital console. [...]. I can't conceive of not having them in my 5.1 studio.

1999-7 The MIX (UK) (Midsummer issue)

Author: Sean Vincent

If you're after a machine that can add inserts and radically change the stereo information on your tracks, as well as store your own programs and work with 96kHz, then the Finalizer 96K is the one for you.

1999-6 Studio Sound (UK)

Author: Dave Foister

Unlike some other processors, there appear to be no trade-offs to using the higher rates; [...]. This means that all the familiar features af the Finalizer can now be used in full-blown high resolution applications, complete with the facility to dither down to 16, 18, 20 or 22 bits (or even 8!) as required.

It's not cheap, and it takes some getting into, but the cost and effort will be worthwhile.

So neat, so tidy, so easy to use. All in 1U. Gotta have it. My checkbook is already throbbing. Oh well ...

There is nothing else quite like it on the market, and the Finalizer Plus is a sure sign that TC actually listens to its customers.
