Introduction
The first M/S processor in 120V technology
With Gemini M/S Mastering Processor M/S processing enters the SPL Mastering series.
Gemini is an M/S Encoder and Decoder.
Mid signals (voice, snare, bass …) can clearly be seperated from side signals (guitar, spa-
tial sounds, cymbals …) and can individually be processed. When working on the sum
signal, M/S coding often is the best way to specifically get access to individual elements
within a mix.
Gemini also provides the possibility to work on the stereo panorama.
With the Balance control you can position the mid signal within the stereo panorama.
With the Trim control, you can adjust the level of the mid signal in relation to the side sig-
nal. In connection with the Stereo Width control, the mixing ratio of both channels can be
adjusted.
An Elliptical Filter, which can cut low frequency ratios of the side band is also provided.
The SPL Gemini Mastering M/S Processor was developed and manufactured in Germany.
