The 358 Enhancer is a single-stage, 'straight-path' process allowing control of the bass/treble frequency balance of a stereo mix or mono channel.

It can be used in many applications requiring from slight to more drastic frequency balance correction, but unlike a conventional EQ or filter, the 358 uses internal multiband phase processing. This results in a more dynamic, realistic frequency content which is adjustable with two main controls for constructive (boost) process, folding at the classic 150Hz (LF) and 2.4KHz (HF) frequencies.

The internal process includes a detection stage based on the analog envelope detector circuit, first introduced in our 925 Compressor.

In addition, the 'Phase-Compensation' mode applies a fixed process to the whole bandwidth of the program material, for stereo image enhancement on two-channel mix or mix-buss applications.

This 'phase-deviation' process has been developed carefully as a one-way stereo signal conditioning and enhancement, especially for sounds which are 'panned', or containing instrument-position information. It improves the perceived soundstage and definition of each source or instrument, without altering significantly the frequency or dynamic content of the processed audio.

Thanks R2R for the anti MetaFortress trick!

* No iLok driver installation needed.

* It launches faster and more RAM friendly than original.
