Switch between conventional stereo and MS processing within seconds, blend the mix with the unprocessed signal with one knob, and colour, saturate, enhance, compress, limit or distort your programme material with the Fet Crusher and Zener Blender. VERTIGO SOUND also offers the VSM-2 as a basic version without the harmonic generators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;margin:6px 0 18px;width:100%;max-width:100%;table-layout:fixed;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eMax. input and output level\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e+30 dBu\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eDynamic range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e128 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eTHD at +28 dBu\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e≤ 0.003 %\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eSignal‑to‑noise ratio at +6 dBu\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e104 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 14px;padding-left:20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll analog, latency-free\u003c\/strong\u003e processing in 2U\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo fully balanced inserts\u003c\/strong\u003e on XLR with level-compensated MS encoding and decoding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert 1 Dry \/ Wet\u003c\/strong\u003e control for parallel compression in LR and MS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert 2 M \/ S stereo width\u003c\/strong\u003e control with a zoomed centre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eLevel-compensated \u003cstrong\u003eAFL Solo\u003c\/strong\u003e for the M and S signal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2nd Harmonic Fet Crusher\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e3rd Harmonic Zener Blender\u003c\/strong\u003e, each switchable to M, S or LR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eSix input filter modes per generator, including the unique Track mode; soft and hard style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eHardwire bypass for all and each processing stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eUp to +30 dBu at the inputs and outputs; fast input \/ output metering and clip LEDs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eStepped controls, pointer knobs and fine scales for easy recall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eInserts and MS processing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eInsert 1 is designed for a compressor: in MS mode an unlinked compressor processes M on channel A and S on channel B, with the S level compensated.
