SPL and Brainworx, the masters of analog modeling, are back with SPL BiG. Winner of the 2024 TEC Signal Processing Award, this studio stereo expander has received praise from professionals for its powerful sound and ingenious design. BiG is easy to use. BiG is unique. BiG offers new creative possibilities for shaping sound. Make your mixes sound massive with zero phase issues.
Go BiG or Go Home
Improving your stereo imaging is an essential tool for winning the loudness wars and adding depth and immediacy to your tracks. But phase issues have always limited professionals and discouraged the less experienced. With its unique internal filtering, SPL BiG solves these problems and lets you do even more. BiG processes the stereo input with a unique filtering network that prevents phase shifts, cancellations, and unwanted artifacts when summing to mono. Now everyone can benefit from scale.
Take Your Stereo Imaging to the Next Level
SPL BiG is a powerful stereo imaging processor that gives you exceptional control over the width and character of your stereo. Enhance individual tracks by widening them and bringing them to the forefront of the soundstage. Add analogue tone for fresh, bold mixes. Use it subtly or aggressively to make keys, strings, vocals or complete mixes as BiG as you need.
Depth and Scale with Just Five Controls
With three knobs and two switches, SPL BiG makes radically enhancing your stereo imaging simple, enjoyable and free of phase issues.
• Range Control
Adjusts the filter frequency for precise control of the range processed.
• Stage Control
Controls slope and bandwidth
Make key elements of your mix more present, or push them back to shift the focus and create a greater sense of depth.
• Big Sound Control
Make it “big sound”. This unique blend knob blends the processed and original audio using SPL’s proprietary blending method, providing dynamic control over stereo widening and balance.
Simple at first glance, but complex at its core,
SPL BiG uses a unique stereo processing technology that is distinct from M/S processing. It thus improves the stereo image without introducing phase issues or cancellations into individual tracks, stems and mixes, even when summed to mono.
