Stereo Enhancer
The Stereo-FX-Enhancer allows you to reposition your audio material in the stereo panorama.
Whenever a stereo recording sounds undifferentiated, the extension of the basic stereo-width can provide
a more transparent sound.
Basic stereo width controller:
Here you can adjust the width of the basic stereo panorama from mono (leftmost side), over unchanged
(in the centre) to maximum width ("Wide", rightmost side).
When setting the stereo panorama to smaller values, the sound level may rise. In an extreme case – it
means that if the left and right channels contain identical audio material and the Basic stereo width
controller is set to "mono" – the sound level increase can be as much as 3 dB.
While increasing the basic stereo width (values exceeding 100) the mono sound compatibility gets worse.
This means, that recordings that have been manipulated in such a manner will sound hollow during mono
playback.
Volume fader:
Adjust the volume for each channel and the stereo panorama. The damping for the left and the right
channel will be indicated in dB values under the controllers. This allows you to reposition an originally
centred recording to the right or to the left inside the stereo panorama.
Stereo-meter (correlation indicator):
This is a graphic display of the phase position of the audio signal. Here you can check the orientation of
your signal inside the stereo panorama and the effects caused by the Stereo-Enhancer.
In order to achieve the best possible mono-compatibility, the graphic should resemble a diagonal line. If
not, some frequency areas may eliminate each other when the stereo signal is played back on a mono
player.
