Manual

Template:5.9 Enhancer (ENH) Template:16.7 Mono and Stereo

User contributions

For stereo output only

  • The Stereo Enhancer only works when your OUTPUT signal is stereo. Also, don't use it if you only use one channel (left or right) of a stereo signal.

Input

  • While a stereo input signal works best, the Enhancer can also "stereoize" an incoming mono signal. Of course, the output signal still has to be stereo.

Avoiding phase cancellation

  • When summing a stereo signal to mono, the Enhancer in Classic Mode can cause Phase cancellation. Firmware 5 and later makes the Enhancer mono-compatible to prevent phasing problems when summing an output stereo signal to mono.

Widening the Panner

  • Make the Panner effect appear “fuller” and “wider” (stereo only) by adding the Enhancer.

Improvements

  • Firmware 5 release notes: "the new Enhancer uses multi-band techniques for a much more natural effect. Also, the effect is mono-compatible with no phasing problems when summing to mono. The effect both widens stereo signals and “stereoizes” mono signals. Low-cut and High-cut parameters allow control over the region of influence. Note that it is NOT recommended to use the Enhancer if just using one side of a stereo output as phasing effects may be encountered." More information
  • Firmware 6.01 release notes: "Added “Classic” mode to Enhancer block which uses old Haas effect delay-based processing. The Type parameter selects between the new (Modern) and old (Classic) enhancer types."
