Stereo Enhancer
Using the Stereo Enhancer you can increase the spatial image of stereo sound. Listeners will notice greater loudness,
brilliance, and clarity of sound, as well as a more dynamic effect and greater depth of the sound. The accuracy of the
integrated DSP in the Falcon XT prevents the introduction of harmonic distortion and an unnatural sound source
footprint.
To enhance the stereo effect of an audio recording of a radio or television broadcast, the Falcon XT has a built-in Stereo
Enhancer that creates an effect similar to a broad separation of the left-hand and right-hand channels. This effect is
obtained by adding a part of the other channel to each channel, but in antiphase. BY modifying the L-R and L+R ratio in
this way, a sound with a greater stereophonic impact is obtained, creating an extremely strong psycho-acoustic effect, in
particular on the audio details.
Stereo Enhancer
: The ON and OFF functions are used to enable/disable the Falcon
XT Stereo Enhancer.
Stereo Enh. Band:
This is the frequency range within which the Stereo Enhancer
process is applied. Available options include: MID-HIGH or WIDE.
Effect Limiter:
This feature introduces a stereo limiter to the stereo enhancer process,
with operation settable at three levels: LOW - NORMAL - HIGH
Effect Drive
: This parameter can be used to set the level of the effect at the audio
processor output once the Stereo Enhancer has processed the audio material. The
possible values range from 1 to 10.
Effect Depth
: The depth control can be used to control the Digital Delay introduced in the L-R and L+R ratio (see
diagram).
The intervention level is shown by the Stereo Enhancer histogram "E" in the top section of the Universal
Remoter Software under the
EFX
label.
WARNING!
The Stereo Enhancer process requires any amount of time except 0! The amount
calculated by the Falcon XT processor (and consequently the ability to appreciate the process added
by the Stereo Enhancer) is about 10-20s depending on the audio material inputted into the processor.
No change will be noticeable immediately after switching on the Stereo Enhancer, however, its full
potential will noticeable after 20 seconds. The effect is much easy to appreciate when you switch the
Stereo Enhancer from ON to OFF.
