New from TK Audio! M/S Blender

TK Audio has just announced the NEW TK Audio M/S Blender 500-Series Parallel Processing Tool! This is a multi-functional parallel processing tool. A dual mono blender, stereo blender and a M/S encoder/decoder all in one unit! In standard mode, this unit behaves like two individual mono blenders. If you activate the link function the left blend knob will control both channels for easier blend of stereo signals. In M/S mode the left/right sends will be encoded into mid/ ide sends and the returns will be decoded back to left/right before the blend control(s).

A cue function is also provided on the unit so that you can monitor the left, right, mid or side signal (to cue the mid or side signal the M/S function need to be activated.) The cued signal will present to both main outputs. All inputs and outputs are electronically balanced and can handle signals up to +26dBu. Parallel processing can help you get more energy on tracks like bass, vocal and guitars by blending in compression. It can also give you more punch in a mix by blending in a compressed signal. With parallel compression you will keep the transients from the direct signal while you blend in compressed signal for more energy. It’s also very useful for blending in signals from distortion, saturation and overdrive units.
