Introduction

The VITALIZER®

in the EQ MAGIX:

The new generation of psycho- acoustic equalizers for the first time in a 19“ mixer channel module, together with microphone preamplifier, PARAMETRIC equalizer and PANORAMA output stage.

The PANORAMA output stage creates a double Mono output signal from the Mono input signal and enables active panning between the two channels.

Two LED meters indicate the PPM peak values.

MUTE and FADER switch options.

4.VITALIZER®: The VITALIZER is an equalizer concept which makes use of scientific psychoacoustic technology to process audio signals. The unique combination of dynamic equalizers, amplitude-controlled phase correction and harmonic filtering in the VITALIZER opens up a whole new listening dimension by adapting the sound pattern to the non-linearities of the human ear. The VITALIZER is thus the creative element amongst the EQ MAGIX's sound processing tools.

The VITALIZER gives the mid frequencies accurate transparency with a soft, unobtrusive sound. The treble and harmonics range is reworked with broadband shelving filters of 2nd and 4th order, which focus on achieving a smooth, silky sound pattern. High frequencies are livened up without them sounding hard or agressive.

The VITALIZER uses a newly developed filter network to process the low frequency range. The bass is accentuated without any risk of emphasizing the lower mid frequencies unnaturally. You can choose between a dry, percussive bass (TIGHT) or a punchy, soft and very deep sound character (SOFT).

The result is a pleasanter and livelier sound pattern with an unrivalled wealth of detail. You will be amazed by how transparent and powerful almost every audio signal sounds after it has been processed with the

VITALIZER!

5.OUTPUT: The OUTPUT section enables you to create a two-channel output signal from a one-channel input signal. You can return the signal to two desk channels or feed it directly into a multi-track recording medium or effect unit. Balanced outputs available via XLR sockets and unbalanced outputs available via jacks can be used in parallel. A signal can therefore be recorded on two media simultaneously.

On the front panel, two bargraph meters each featuring 10 LEDs provide information about the output level of each channel. The indication of PPM values (peak values) provide more information than a VU display (average values). The MUTE switch can be used to mute the output signal altogether. The PANORAMA control allows active panning between the two output channels, compensating the loss in volume (- 3dB) which arises in conjunction with panning to one channel. The FADER switch alters the characteristics of the PANORAMA control, making it an output level control. The output level can be reduced for both channels to compensate diffe- rences in the levels of the processed and the dry signal.

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.
