Spectral Stereo Image

This function allows you to control the stereo width of your
signal in three independent bands by adding or subtracting stereo
information. Selecting values above 0 (Normal) will enhance the
stereo information in the selected band, while values below 0 will
reduce stereo information.
Use the CURSOR keys to select the desired parameter and dial
the ADJUST wheel to change values.
Note that enhancing the Stereo Image might reduce the overall
level. This can be compensated by increasing the level by 1-3dB
in the Normalizer.
