The VITALIZER works with steep filters and controlled changes of the phase 20 relationships of the harmonics to process the harmonics structure.

We consciously did without the generator principle of »Exciters«. The VITALIZER's harmonic filter does not add any distortions to the original signal, unlike with the generator principle. It extracts all the information it needs from the original signal. This significantly reduces the hearing fatigue effect on the listener. By influencing the phase relationship in an intelligent fashion, the harmonics which have been filtered out are empha- sized with increasing addition expressed as a percentage. The effect signifi- cantly improves the speech intelligibility and the transparency. Old archived recordings sound fresh and silky again. The brilliance of any audio signal can be improved without it sounding sharp.

The HARMONICS filter derives its input signal from the original signal and the output of the MID-HITUNE filter. If you close the PROCESS control (extreme left), the BASS and MID-HITUNE controls do not function any more. You can then listen to the HARMONICS control separately.

The second potentiometer level of the MID-HITUNE control is responsible for the cut-off frequency of the HARMONICS filter. A variation of the MID-HITUNE control alters the cut-off frequency (fundamental tone) of the harmo- nics. Both filters complement each other in an ideal fashion as they each always process the part of the audio signal which is not being processed by the other filter. If the MID-HITUNE control is set at 20 kHz, the HARMONICS filter intervenes at low frequencies. If the MID-HITUNE filter is at 1 kHz, the HARMONICS filter affects higher frequencies. The characteristics of the two filters therefore complement each other in an ideal fashion.

The COMBINE circuit is used to combine the PARAMETRIC and the VITALIZER 21 sections.

The VITALIZER needs the original signal portion to define the mid attenua- tion by the PROCESS. If the mid attenuation is not required, COMBINE switches the original signal off.

The PROCESS control becomes the LEVEL control of the VITALIZER. Normally, the LEVEL control is set at MAX.

When COMBINE has been activated, the VITALIZER works like an equalizer which works on a purely additive basis.

EQ MAGIX specifications

Sound Performance Lab has made a significant mark in the world of audio engineering with its EQ MAGIX, an advanced equalizer plug-in designed for professional sound production. Known for its precision and versatility, EQ MAGIX is a valuable tool for music producers, sound designers, and mastering engineers.

One of the standout features of EQ MAGIX is its intuitive user interface, which allows for seamless navigation and efficient workflow. The layout is user-friendly, presenting an array of controls that give users the ability to make precise adjustments to their audio tracks. With a clear visual representation of frequency spectra, users can quickly identify problem areas in their mixes and address them with ease.

At its core, EQ MAGIX employs sophisticated filtering technologies that ensure high-quality sound processing. It offers various filter types, including parametric, low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and notch filters. This extensive selection enables users to tailor their sound with remarkable accuracy. The parametric filter is particularly noteworthy, allowing for precise frequency adjustments, including bandwidth control, which is essential for making subtle tonal changes.

Another key characteristic of EQ MAGIX is its support for high-resolution audio. It operates at sample rates up to 192 kHz, ensuring that the clarity and detail of your sound are maintained throughout the mixing and mastering process. This high level of audio fidelity is crucial when working in both studio environments and live settings.

The plug-in also features a dynamic EQ mode, which provides users with the ability to adapt the equalization based on the input signal's dynamics. This dynamic processing capability enhances the overall sound quality and enables greater control over how specific frequencies react to varying levels of audio, making it an indispensable tool for achieving professional mixes.

Moreover, EQ MAGIX integrates well with various digital audio workstations (DAWs), allowing for seamless incorporation into existing workflows. Its compatibility with industry-standard platforms ensures that users can easily implement it into their projects without any technical hurdles.

In conclusion, Sound Performance Lab's EQ MAGIX stands out as a robust and versatile equalizer plug-in that caters to the needs of audio professionals. With its intuitive interface, high-quality filtering technologies, dynamic processing capabilities, and high-resolution audio support, EQ MAGIX is an essential tool for anyone looking to elevate their sound production. It epitomizes the merging of functionality and user experience, making it a valuable addition to any audio engineer's toolkit.
