Stereo Enhancer
Omnia.9 offers a unique multi-band Stereo Enhancer, whose total number of bands is determined by the number of bands of
processing used in the Current Preset. Regardless, it never works on bass, which is why Band 1 is never represented and Band
2 may be grayed out. This approach significantly reduces the chance that quieter, hard-panned stereo sounds in a recording
with a strong centered mono sound will be shifted out of phase and offers much greater control over the stereo enhancement
available in various portions of the spectrum. A second page allows you to toggle between Main and Spd (speed) controls.
Speed settings adjust attack and release times for each band.
♦
The
Stereo Enhancer
menu gives you access to the Target, Maximum Gain, Maximum Gain Reduction, Attack speed, and
Release speed of each of its bands.
♦
The
Enable
control turns the Stereo Enhancer on or off.
♦
The
Target Width
control determines the ratio of L+R to L-R. Higher settings provide more stereo enhancement. Adjust
this control carefully to avoid turning the stereo image “inside out” by allowing L-R to overpower L+R which ruins mono
compatibility and increases multipath distortion.
♦
The
Maximum Gain
control determines how much the Stereo Enhancer can increase L/R separation in an effort to
achieve the Target Width in program material that has a narrow stereo image. The range is between 0 and 18dB.
♦
The
Maximum Attenuation
control determines how much the Stereo Enhancer can reduce L/R separation in an effort to
achieve the Target Width in program material that already has a wide stereo image. The range is between 0 and 18dB.
♦
The
Attack
control determines the speed at which the stereo image is narrowed. The
Release
control determines the
speed at which the stereo image is widened.
♦
The
Target Width
(coupled),
Maximum Gain
(coupled),
Maximum Attenuation
(coupled),
Attack
(coupled) and
Release
(coupled) controls allow you to adjust all the bands simultaneously by an equal amount in their corresponding
sections.
