SPL BiG [STUDIO] - The Stereo Image Bigger Maker in 19" rack format

Adds size, depth and character to any Mix

The SPL BiG [STUDIO] redefines the term "stereo width". This innovative 19" studio tool expands the stereo image in a spectacular way and opens up new creative possibilities for sound design. With its new tube circuitry and precise tube harmonics control, BiG [STUDIO] enhances the overtone spectrum of any signal - for more depth, brilliance and a sense of space.

The result: a mix that sounds livelier, more detailed and simply Bigger than Life.

Analog magic for modern production

BiG [STUDIO] works with an analog difference signal that is processed through a special filter network and mixed back into the original signal. The result is not an M/S signal, but a completely new form of stereo processing that remains phase-coherent and mono-compatible - without cancelation or artifacts.

Intuitive sound control with three main controls

  • Range determines the frequency range that is processed.
  • Bigness controls the intensity of the stereo widening.
  • Stage moves the selected frequency range to the front or rear of the stereo stage.

The sound image can be shaped intuitively with just three controls - from subtle spatiality to impressive width.


Tube sound and SPL-style bass amplification

The Tube Harmonics circuit adds selectable harmonic overtones for a warm, musical tone coloration. The Harmonics switch activates the tube, while the Bass switch provides an additional 2 dB bass boost at 42 Hz - inspired by the AirBass circuit of the SPL IRON Mastering Compressor.

High-quality workmanship "Made in Germany"

With a 4 mm thick, black anodized aluminium front, solid metal rotary knobs and a powder-coated steel housing, the BiG [STUDIO] stands for uncompromising quality. Manufactured in Niederkrüchten on the Lower Rhine, SPL guarantees the highest sound quality, durability and precision.
