Enhancer block

User contributions

For stereo output only

• The Stereo Enhancer only works when your OUTPUT signal is stereo. It won't work with mono output so don't use in that scenario. Also, don't use it if you only use one channel (left or right) of a stereo signal.
• While a stereo input signal works best, the Enhancer can also "stereoize" a incoming mono signal. Of course, the output signal still has to be stereo.

Avoiding phase cancellation

• Make sure to pan the Left and Right channels. Leaving them in the middle make cause Phase cancellation.
• When summing a stereo signal to mono, the Enhancer 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."
