Configurations Precision K-Stereo is optimized for use in stereo-in/stereo-out configurations.
However, ambience recovery is possible on monophonic source recordings
when the plug-in is used in a mono-in/stereo-out configuration. Mono signals
are "stereo-ized" in the MISO context.
Note:
Precision K-Stereo is not intended for use in mono-in/mono-out configurations.
Presets Precision K-Stereo includes factory presets designed by Bob Katz. A list of
these presets and their application notes are at the end of this chapter.
