The S

TEREO

V

ITALIZER

inserted

between Compressor und

Recorder.

In the field of electronic music, the S

TEREO

V

ITALIZER

can be used to add

new range and depth to samplers and synthesizers and also to further

process existing effects such as delay and reverberation. Even budget

instruments and processors with limited audio bandwidths can be made

sound full-bodied and detailed.

If you want to use a compressor in the master chain after the console, use

your S

TEREO

V

ITALIZER

after the compressor. You can then be sure that the

S

TEREO

V

ITALIZER

will receive a level-corrected signal which helps him to

even operate more precise. If you use the S

TEREO

V

ITALIZER

before the

compressor negative side-effects such as pumping even could be emphasized.

Tape duplication is often made at high speed resulting in a deterioration

of the high frequency spectrum of the copies. By processing the output

from the source machine, additional brightness can be added to compen-

sate for deficiencies in the copying system. It may also be necessary to

modify the bass end as many high speed systems fail to reproduce the bass

end of the spectrum faithfully. In both areas, the S

TEREO

V

ITALIZER

is both

effective and simple to set up.

Real-time duplication is getting more and more popular. In that applica-

tion the S

TEREO

V

ITALIZER

offers the same advantages as described under

»Studio« and »Video & Film Post Production«.

The S

TEREO

V

ITALIZER

is perfectly suited to the production of radio jingles,

commercials and station idents. Because of the psychoacoustic nature of

the processing, the treated signal will appear louder, closer, brighter and

more intelligible than whatever was played immediately beforehand, thus

creating a powerful impact.

In commercial radio, the S

TEREO

V

ITALIZER

can be used to process the

entire on-air signal helping the radio station stand out from the competi-

tion. The integral surround processor can also be used to create a wider

stereo spread which is important when most of the audience are listening

on systems with a narrow speaker geometry such as is the case with in-car

sound and portable stereo music systems.
