Perfect for experimental sound designers and those seeking creative stereo manipulation without a huge commitment.

Frequently Asked Questions

The 'Position' knob balances the stereo signal – think of it as a pan control within the M/S matrix, working in tandem with 'Image' to create focused or diffuse stereo effects.
Yes, by setting the 'Image' knob to its minimum position and the 'Position' knob to center, you effectively create a mono signal, although the send/return loop can still be utilized.
The HP filter cleans up low-frequency rumble from the side signal, preventing muddiness when widening the stereo image, particularly useful with bass-heavy material.
