Control Elements
5 Balance
With the BALANCE control, you can perfectly place the mid part of the stereo signal in
the center of the stereo. The BALANCE control features a very high-resolving radius of
+/- 3.5dB. When hard left, the mid signal is shifted to the left by 3.5dB within the stereo
signal. When hard right accordingly to the right side.
6 Trim
With the TRIM control, you can adjust the level of the mid signal. The TRIM control has a
resolution of +/- 2.5dB. When hard left, the mid signal is reduced by 2.5dB and when hard
right it is increased by 2.5dB.
7 Insert (SIDE)
If the INSERT button in the SIDE section is activated, the device connected to the insert
SIDE is inserted to the insert (Insert Send: SIDE Send, Insert Return: SIDE Return). With
this device, you can only process the side part of the M/S signal. The side signal (SIDE) is
the difference of the left and the right channel of the stereo signal (L+R), hence the “out-
phase part” of the stereo signal. The insert is located before the ELLIPTICAL FILTER and
the STEREO WIDTH control.
8 Solo (SIDE)
If the SOLO button of the SIDE section is activated, you can only hear the side part of the
M/S signal. Only one of both SOLO buttons in the MID and SIDE section can be active at
the same time. This gives you the opportunity to comfortably switch between the monito-
ring of the M/S side signal and M/S mid signal.
9 Filter & Width
With FILTER & WIDTH button, the functions ELLIPTIC FILTER and STEREO WIDTH (including
associated controls) can be routed into the signal path. If this button is not active, the
controls ELLIPTICAL FILTER and STEREO WIDTH have no assigned function. To exclusively
remove the ELLIPTICAL FILTER function from the signal path, push the FILTER & WIDTH
button for about two seconds. As soon as the button starts blinking, the button only turns
on or off the STEREO WIDTH function. The ELLIPTICAL FILTER is always deactivated! If you
push the FILTER & WIDTH button again for about two seconds, you return to the regular
button mode.
