<\/a><\/p>\nAs a multi-functional parallel processing tool formed from a dual mono blender, a stereo blender, and an M\/S encoder\/decoder, M\/S Blender 500 flexibly acts as two individual mono blenders while working in standard mode. Alternatively, activating the Link function results in the L\/M Blend knob controlling both channels to make blending stereo signals easier. Meanwhile, M\/S mode encodes the (Out) left-right sends into mid\/side sends and decodes the (In) returns back to the left\/right \u2014 before the blend control(s). Both blend controls use potentiometers with 41 clickable positions, ranging from fully Dry to fully Wet. With Cue switchable functionality also provided, users can freely monitor the left, right, mid, or side signal \u2014 albeit M\/S mode needs to be activated to cue the mid or side signal \u2014 which will be sent to both outputs. On top of that, M\/S Blender 500 can also be used as an M\/S encoder\/decoder for any inserted processor(s). It is not necessary to use a stereo processor for M\/S processing, however, since separate units can be used for mid and side processing and the processed signal can be blended back with the dry signal regardless.<\/p>\n
Moreover, M\/S Blender 500 users can process the mid and side signals separately when working with it in M\/S mode, helping them to achieve a more focused midrange and add some \u2018air\u2019 to the side signal, and altering the side signal level means that they can control the width of a mix. After all, this is what parallel processing is all about. And now it is perfectly possible to achieve all this with studio-level sound quality at home (and away), thanks to TK Audio\u2019s latest high-quality handcrafted 500-Series module, mounted for ease of use in a space-saving enclosure, ideally alongside any of the company\u2019s other 500-Series modules \u2014 award nominated or otherwise.<\/p>\n
