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 this device 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, this device 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.
Mode: functions are used to enable/disable Stereo Enhancer.
Band: This is the frequency range within which the Stereo Enhancer process is applied. Available options include
(MID-HIGH, 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.
Pre-Process Equalizer
The Pre-Process Equalizer is a feature that allows you to introduce an equalizer with free curves that can be
customised to suit your own taste, and fit it in before the multiband processor unit. The effect introduced by this
feature is extremely clear as regards the vocal frequency spectrum, or specific presets with low compression levels.
Where presets with high compression levels are concerned, the multiband unit located after the pre-equalizer tends
to cancel out the effects.
Speech Detector
The speech detector function is a key operating parameter for the audio processor. It allows you to detect when
spoken material is applied to the audio processor input. Speech recognition is essential to be able to switch off audio
processes where voices inputted may change significantly in terms of timbre, colour and footprint. We recommend
you always leave this control on.
