ACOUSTICS
Psycho-acoustic eects
EXCITER: An exciter works with psycho-acoustic principles to add articially
generated overtones to the original signal, thereby increasing its presence and
loudness (the subjective volume impression) without any signicant increase of
the signal level.
ENHANCER: The enhancer works like a dynamic pitch equalizer. Its eectiveness
depends on the associated high frequencies and the intensity of the input signal.
ULTRA BASS: This awesome combination of sub-harmonic processor,
bassexciter, and limiter adds a nal touch to your music production.
STEREO IMAGER: This eect is used to process stereo main signals. The signal is
rst subdivided into middle and side signal (MS Matrix). Both parts can then be
amplied when desired and placed on the stereo image.
ULTRA WIDE: This eect is suitable to pep up speaker systems with an especially
broad stereo image.
BINAURALIZER: The binauralizer also extends the stereo image. Additionally,
itcompensates for inter-channel cross talk of both speakers (left loudspeaker on
right ear and vice versa).

1 High pass filter, which allows frequencies above a specified cut-off frequency to pass and damps the
frequencies lying below it.

FILTER/EQ
FILTER/EQ
Filter/EQ eects
FILTER: Filters, in general, inuence the frequency response of a signal. A low
pass lter allows low frequencies to pass and suppresses high frequencies,
whilea high pass lter allows high frequencies to pass and suppresses
lowfrequencies.
PARAMETRIC EQ: The parametric equalizer is the most highly-developed
form of equalization. You can control the three parameters which dene the
so-called gauss equalizer curve: bandwidth, frequency and amplitude boosting
or lowering.
GRAPHIC EQ: Eight lter bands are arranged next to each other for this graphic
equalizer. In contrast to the parametric equalizer, frequency and bandwidth are
pre-determined here.
