SPL Gemini Mastering M/S Processor Red

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.
