Thank you for purchasing this Xaoc Devices
is a stereo image pro-
cessor. It is a hybrid tool that combines digital
and analog processing to facilitate advanced

the mid and side components, which affects
the depth and width of the auditory scene.

INSTALLATION
The module requires 6hp worth of free space
in the Eurorack cabinet. Before powering on,
the ribbon-type power cable included with the
module must be plugged into the bus board,
paying close attention to polarity orientation.
The red stripe indicates the negative –12v
rail and should point in the same direction on

orientation of your ribbon cable on both sides!
The module should be fastened by mounting
the supplied screws before powering up. To
better understand the device, we strongly ad-
vise the user to read through the entire man-
ual before use.
MODULE OVERVIEW
The stereo pair of signal inputs
1
is AC-cou-
pled and accepts all Eurorack signal levels
The left/right signal pair is translated to
a mid/side pair, and subject to an optional
stereo enhancement process engaged by the
3-position dimension slider switch

. The
width of the stereo image is controlled by the
image knob

and external CV patched into
the image jack

signal and enabled by the side hpf switch
5
. The processed and enhanced pair of mid
and side signals is available at the send pair
of jacks
6
. You can apply various external
processing to either of these and patch the
resulting signals to the return jacks
7
.
There is an internal normalization from
send to return. If the mid return and/
or side return jacks are left unpatched,
the signal from the send outputs is sent
straight to the return inputs. The mid and
side pair is converted back to normal stereo
and is available at the bottom pair of left
and right jacks
8
. The position knob
9
adjusts the left and right output balance.
A set of six LEDs arranged in a setup similar
to the traditional goniometer

indicates
the strength of the signal along virtual spa-
tial axes.
MID/SIDE PROCESSING
The principle of M/S processing is simple. The
M signal is obtained by a scaled sum of both
left and right signals, while the S signal is a
scaled difference of them. Precision is need-
