SPL Gemini (New)

Mastering M/S Processor

Gemini is the first mid/side processor in 120V technology. In mastering, M/S processing is often the best way to get targeted access to individual elements of a mix.

When the M/S button is activated, the input signal (L/R stereo) is split into a mid and side signals. The exact centre position can be adjusted with the Balance control and the exact level with the Trim control. Both functions are switchable to be in the signal path only when in use. Exclusive monitoring of the centre is possible when the solo function is activated. Processors can be inserted to process the mid signal and activated with the Insert button.

The side signal also has a solo function and a switchable insert for external processing. In addition, the elliptical filter can be used to shift the bass frequencies from the side to the mid. This improves the punch and precision of low frequencies. The Stereo Width control changes the level of the side signal, with a level increase broadening the stereo image. These two functions can also be switched on to be in the signal path only when used.
