Half-speed mastering. In half-speed mastering, the whole mastering process is slowed down to half of the original speed. A typical 33 1/3 rpm record is cut at 16 2/3 rpm. The source material is also slowed down (reducing the pitch in the process) meaning the final record will still sound normal when played back. Slowing the whole process down allows more time, which means the end result sounds better and is more efficient — allowing engineering to minimize the effects of inherent limitations within the vinyl format. The result is a more accurate and more open high-frequency response in the half speed vinyl when compared with a normal speed recording.
One-Step : Instead of utilizing the industry-standard three-step lacquer process, One-Step uses only one step, bypassing two processes of generational loss. While three-step processing is designed for optimum yield and efficiency, One-Step is created for the ultimate in sound quality. In One-Step the very first stamper plated from the lacquer is utilized to press the vinyl record. By skipping the additional steps of pulling another positive and an additional negative, as done in the three-step process used in standard pressings, One-Step produces a final LP with the lowest noise floor possible today. The removal of the additional two steps of generational loss in the plating process reveals tremendous amounts of extra musical detail and dynamics, which are otherwise lost due to the standard copying process.
UHQLP vinyl are pressed on virgin vinyl with the latest generation, German-made pressing machine, under the supervision of AQCD Technology Company. With the help of an advanced German controlling system, time duration, pressure and temperature are critically set and strictly controlled.
