TUBE VITALIZER
SPL´s Tube Vitalizer is the top-of-the-line product of the Vitalizer
range. It is designed for the sound enthusiast in professional
recording, mastering and cutting. The effect intensities are opti-
mized for this delicate sound processing.
The Tube Vitalizer combines the finest audio technologies:Tube
technology, RC & LC-technology, transistor- and semiconductor-
technology. The unique combination of dynamic equalizers,
amplitude-controlled phase correction, harmonic filtering opens
up a whole new listening dimension by adapting the sound
pattern to the non-linearities of the human ear.
The Tube Vitalizer gives the mid frequencies accurate transpa-
rency with a soft,unobtrusive sound.The treble range is reworked
with broadband shelving filters, which focus on achieving a
smooth, silky sound pattern. Filtering can be altered by adding a
passive LC-filter network.High frequencies are livened up without
them sounding hard or aggressive.
The Tube Vitalizer uses an hitherto undocumented filter
network to process the low frequency range.The bass is accentu-
ated without any risk of emphasizing the lower mid frequencies
unnaturally. You can choose between a dry, percussive bass
(Tight) or a punchy, soft and very deep sound character (Soft).
Both sounds can be altered by adding a passive LC-filter network.
The bass and high frequency section are both equipped with
easy to use compressors based around the THAT 4301.
The output section can be switched from solid-state to tube
operation. Now you can add that warm and smooth tube sound
to your mix and directly compare it with the “non-tube” mix. The
tube stage is an original AEG design from 1955. It utilizes three
tubes. This stage reduces crosstalk to 54 dB which is typical for
vinyl-cutting. Responding to latest psychoacoustic research it is
believed that vinyl sounds “better” than CD because of a more
natural sound stage.There are no sounds in nature that are cohe-
rent but have a channel separation of about 90 dB like on CD.This
tube stage gives you the possibility to add vinyl-sound to your CD
production.
The Tube Vitalizer will perform the task of audio sweetening
with great tonal flexibility and musicality.The result of processing
is a pleasanter and livelier sound pattern with an unrivalled
wealth of detail.
