An elliptical filter for shifting the low frequency component from the side to the mid is also on board.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Mid<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen the M\/S button is activated, the input signal (L\/R stereo) is split into a mid and side signals.<br \/>\nThe exact center position can be adjusted with the Balance control and the exact level with the Trim control. Both functions are switchable to be in the signal path only when in use.<br \/>\nExclusive monitoring of the center is possible when the solo function is activated. Processors can be inserted to process the mid signal and activated with the Insert button.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Side<\/strong><br \/>\nThe side signal also has a solo function and a switchable insert for external processing. In addition, the elliptical filter can be used to shift the bass frequencies from the side to the mid.<br \/>\nThis improves the punch and precision of low frequencies. The Stereo Width control changes the level of the side signal, with a level increase broadening the stereo image.<br \/>\nThese two functions can also be switched on to be in the signal path only when used.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\/Os and Inserts<\/strong><br \/>\nAll inputs and outputs as well as sends and returns are balanced using Neutrik XLR connectors.<br \/>\nProcessors can be connected to the inserts for external processing. Especially interesting is the integration of the Gemini into the Hermes Mastering Router.<br \/>\nIn this way, processing chains can be created that combine classic L\/R processing with M\/S processing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gemini &#038; Hermes<\/strong><br \/>\nThe M\/S encoder and decoder stages of the Gemini can each be connected to an insert of the Hermes and freely positioned within the processing chain.<br \/>\nProcessors that are in a chain between M\/S encoder and decoder process the mid\/side signal. These processors can also easily be mono devices.<br \/>\nIn the example above, Insert Send A is routed to Gemini for M\/S encoding. The mid\/side sends of the Gemini go back to Return A of the Hermes.<br \/>\nSend B goes from Hermes back to the Gemini to be encoded back to L\/R, which flows from the output of the Gemini back to Return B of Hermes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gemini is the first mid\/side processor in 120V technology.<br \/>\nIn mastering, M\/S processing is often the best way to get targeted access to individual elements of a mix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":13434,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[186,215],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-15439","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-proaudio","product_cat-spl","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple","pofo-product-4col"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/storung.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/15439","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/storung.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/storung.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storung.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/storung.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15439"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storung.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=15439"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storung.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=15439"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storung.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=15439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
