Page 4: Introduction
Introduction Hook up The CLASSIC VITALIZER combines most modern equalisation, phase shift manipulation and harmonic enhancement to provide signal enhancement across the entire audio spectrum. Based on established psychoacoustic and audiometric principles, the VITALIZER brings mid-range material into sharp focus while enhancing high frequencies. -
Page 5: Connections
Before connecting the VITALIZER or any other equipment turn off all power. Adjust the voltage setting on the back so that it corre- sponds with the local power conditions. The balanced XLR input connectors are Neutrik XLRs wired pin 2 hot. -
Page 6: Applications
Applications Recording Studio Studio Application 1: VITALIZER between console (master outputs) and recorder Studio Application 2: The VITALIZER between Noise Reduction and Recorder to improve archived recordings Studio Application 3: The VITALIZER connected to the Master or Subgroup Inserts of the consoles 1.The most obvious application of the VITALIZER is to process a final stereo mix, either while mixing or during post-production prior to cutting. -

4. Another interesting application is the use of the VITALIZER right after a compressor unit in the master signal chain. Using the VITALIZER before a compressor can result in more obvious side- effects of the compressor, such as pumping. It is also possible to patch the VITALIZER into the aux send system of a console in much the same way as a reverb or delay unit as long as the PROCESS SOLO switch is active. -
Page 8: Tape Duplication
Applications Tape Duplication Broadcast P. A. Video & Film Post Production Tape duplication is often made at high speed, resulting in a dete- rioration of the high frequency spectrum of the copies. By proces- sing the output from the source machine, additional brightness can be added to compensate for deficiencies in the copying system. -
Page 9: First Steps
Both channels of the VITALIZER are set-up identically and can be controlled separately – except the STEREO WIDTH control. If the channels are to be used separately, the STEREO WIDTH control is to be set to OFF. If the VITALIZER is connected to the ,,Aux Send/ Return”... -

Control Elements Active Output Process Depth (Part 1) Process Solo Sub Bass The ACTIVE-function allows to switch between the processed and unprocessed signal. The green status LED indicates that the channel is active. A relais hard bypass circuitry works on both XLR and Jack connections. -
Page 11: Deep
The DEEP button spreads the frequency range around which the SUB BASS is centered. Also the level is increased by +4 dB at the centre frequency of 50 Hz. This affects both the hard and soft bass settings giving the choice of four possible permutations. -
Page 12: Harmonics
Control Elements Diagram: „Curves of equal loudness“ according to psychoacoustic researches by Fletcher and Munson Harmonics Advancing the setting of the PROCESS DEPTH control simulta- neously increases the amount of MID-HI TUNE filter and SUB BASS signals in the mix while attenuating other midrange frequencies to enhance the sense of loudness, thus increasing clarity, bass end punch and overall power. -
Page 13: Surround Processor
Working on established inter-channel phase principles, the STEREO WIDTH control increases the subjective soundstage width of any stereo source. The off-centre signals of the stereo source are detected and fed back phase inverted to the opposite channel. This effect can be applied to overall mixes as well as to single instruments. -
