SPL Gemini Mastering M/S Processor Red
Gemini from SPL is an M/S mastering processor designed specifically for mid signals such as vocals, snare and bass, as well as side signals such as guitar, cymbals and more spatial signals.
Features
- Mid/side specific mastering processor
- Balance control for mid signal positioning
- Trim control for mid/side signal adjustment
- Adjustable stereo width
- Elliptical filter for lower frequency ratio cuts
- Link with the SPL Hermes for even more routing and mastering options
The mixing ratio for both stereo channels can be adjusted in connection with the stereo width controls, whilst the Gemini’s built-in elliptical filter cuts low-frequency ratios of the sideband as required.
A popular configuration is to place mid/side encoder in position 3, EQ in position 4 and the decoder stage in position 5. This enables separate processing of mid and side signals before combining the two into a left/right stereo signal.
For additional dynamic processing, a compressor could also be added to position 5, moving the decoder stage to position 6.
