      The M\/S Station is a multi-function mastering and main bus processing tool.<\/h1>\n

      It\u2019s designed to cover all the needs of every producer\/engineer who wants to maximize their use of mid-side processing for enhanced stereo width; tight, focused mono-bass, and more. Its four discrete functions are divided across two linkable control sections for intuitive use, and its advanced cue section makes monitoring a breeze<\/p>\n

      Parallel insert with M\/S function: <\/strong>With the insert section you can insert an external processor like an eq, compressor, distortion unit etc, and then dial in a mix between the processed signal (wet) and the unprocessed signal (dry). For maximum precision the blend control has 16 steps from dry to wet. If you activate the M\/S function your signal will be coded into mid (L+R) and side (L-R). The mid signal normally contains all the center info such as bass, kick drum, lead vocal etc and the side signal contains all the panned parts of the signal. In M\/S you can process the center signal and side signal separately with different types of processors. With the blend split function you get separate blend controls for the mid and side signal. In M\/S mode the blend function takes place before the signal is decoded back to left\/right. This section can be\u00a0 used with it\u2019s own balanced inputs and outputs.<\/p>\n

      Elliptical Equalizer: <\/strong>With the elliptical EQ all frequencies below a selected frequency will be made to mono. This function can make your low end more focused. It\u2019s an old technique used when mastering for vinyl. Too much low end in the side channel (vertical) can make the needle bounce slightly and cause distortion. By using a 12dB high pass filter in the side channel you set the frequency under which the signal will be processed as mono. As a HPF introduces phase shift to the signal, a phase correction is added to the mid channel keeping channel separation as good as possible. The EEQ has 16 frequencies from 36Hz to 302Hz. With the EEQ cue function you can monitor the signals that are mixed between the channels.<\/p>\n

      Stereo width control: <\/strong>By adjusting the amount of side information in the stereo mix, <\/strong>the width can be adjusted incrementally from mono to extra wide. With this control you can fine adjust the stereo image after you have used the M\/S insert.<\/p>\n

      \n
      \n

      Cue function: <\/strong>With the cue function you can monitor the Left, Right, Mid or Side signal separately by pressing the dedicated button.
      \nInsert cue is a function to monitor the Mid or Side blend separately when the M\/S function and Split blend is active. The signal is then sent directly from each blend control directly to the outputs, one at a time without passing the EEQ, Width or other gear if the M\/S Station is used unlinked.<\/p>\n

      By selecting the EEQ switch on the cue section you can monitor the low frequencies fed from left to right or right to left. The cue section is a passive design using relays to select the cue source.<\/p>\n

      The M\/S Station has four tools divided into two sections. Section 1 is a parallel insert with M\/S function, section 2 consists of three parts, an elliptical EQ, a width control and an advanced cue function.
      \nThe two sections are normaly linked but if you want to use the sections at different positions in your signal chain you can unlink them by removing four jumpers inside. This way you can use the insert section earlier in your chain and the EEQ\/Width\/cue section last in you chain. The insert cue function can still be used even if the sections are unlinked.<\/p>\n
