SPL BIG Stereo Image Shaping 500 Series Module

BiG revolutionises stereo imaging with an innovative approach that unlocks fresh creative possibilities for sound sculpting. This intuitive processor features just three primary controls alongside a straightforward On/Bypass switch for instant A/B comparison between processed and unprocessed signals. Signal LEDs indicate audio presence at each channel input when levels exceed -20 dBu, providing clear visual feedback during operation.

The Range control selects which frequency spectrum receives processing, while the Stage control repositions this chosen frequency range across the stereo field - either forward or backward on the soundstage. The substantial BIGNESS control serves as the intensity knob for the stereo image shaping effect, giving you precise command over the processing strength.

Additional low-end enhancement comes via the BASS/Off switch, which engages a passive filter circuit similar to the acclaimed AirBass function found in SPL's IRON Mastering Compressor. This bass boost section follows the main BIGNESS processing chain, adding another dimension to your sound shaping toolkit.

SPL's development philosophy combines technical precision with critical listening, ensuring each device meets both measured specifications and musical standards. Through-hole component mounting on the circuit boards allows the use of premium-grade parts selected specifically for their sonic characteristics, maintaining SPL's reputation for exceptional audio quality.
