Power supply ..................16 Specifications ..................17 Warranty ....................18 Foreword Dear customer, Thank you for the confidence you have shown towards SPL elec- tronics GmbH by purchasing the SPL S 2-T.You have TEREO ITALIZER MK decided to use a tool of high performance which sets you in the position to have faster success and a better sound quality in your music productions, live sound applications and pre-masterings. -
Page 4: Introduction
The Vitalizer-technology has been constantly improved over the past nine years since its invention by SPL´s Wolfgang Neumann and Hermann Gier. The Stereo Vitalizer MK2-T is the tube version of the successful Stereo Vitalizer MK2. -
Page 5: Connections
(jack or XLR) should be connected at a time – the Stereo Vitalizer MK2-T is not intended to be used as a mixer! To ensure optimal signal quality, SPL has developed a new hybrid-component balanced input/output stage using all laser- trimmed resistors with a tolerance of 0.01%. -
Page 6: Applications
Applications 1. In Recording Studios, the most popular application is to process a final mix, either while mixing or during post-production prior to cutting. Insert your Stereo Vitalizer MK2-T into the master-inserts of your console or right in between a playback and a recording Recording Studio unit. -

3. In electronic music, the Stereo Vitalizer MK2-T can be used to add new range and depth to samplers and synthesizers and also to process existing effects such as delay and reverberation. Even budget instruments and processors with limited audio band- widths can be made sound full-bodied and detailed. -

Fleischman adds, offering a mixer´s view.“You try to find a balance between two center mics then balance that with whatever you´re using from left-right pair. We then treated it with the SPL Vitalizer, a psychoacoustic equalizer. It brings a lot more presence to the upper end of the spectrum and a very deep low end so that the voice sounds full.”... -
Page 9: First Steps
First Steps When setting up the Stereo Vitalizer MK2-T for the first time, it is wise to approach the controls in a specific order to avoid confu- sion and to achieve positive results right from the start. Use a CD as source. -
Page 10: Control Elements
Control Elements Active The Active function switches the Stereo Vitalizer MK2-T on or off. The illuminated switch indicates that the Stereo Vitalizer MK2-T has been activated. The Active function is a relay hard-bypass ACTIVE switches a relay hard-bypass circuitry for function that works on both XLR and jack connections. - Page 11 If the Bass Sound control is moved from the centre position (0) to Tight bass sound to the right the left, the sound becomes very deep, soft, and warm. This sound side of the 0 detended control is known as Soft. This is symbolised with round scaling points and Soft bass sound which also increase in size as the intensity increases.

Page 12: Bass Compression
Bass The Stereo Vitalizer MK2-T features an integrated Bass Compressor, which only works in the bass that the Vitalizer Compression circuitry produces. When recording on digital equipment it is This easy-to-use compressor essential not to overload the inputs which would result in invalid works exclusively on the bass samples sounding like digital peaks. -

Moreover, graphic equalisers produce comb-filter effects because of the interaction between adjacent filters, when broad-band frequencies are raised. The Mid-Hi Tune filter can raise the broad- band spectrum with a very linear frequency response, without colouring the signal. Above the Mid-Hi Tune value set, the Stereo Vitalizer MK2-T filters create a linear increase, i.e. -
Page 14: Lc-Eq
In other words, increasing the Process value also increases the intensity of the Mid-Hi Tune filter and the Bass SOUND filter, whilst dominant mid frequencies are damped by amplitude-correlated phase shiftings. This improves the perception of loudness, clarity and the bass punch, i.e. the strength and fullness of the audio signal. -

The Mid-Hi Tune and the LC-EQ filter complement each other in an ideal fashion. While the Mid-Hi Tune sets the frequency above which the programme material is lifted and below which the damping takes place, the LC-EQ and Intensity controls come in place to extract certain frequencies from this process. -
Page 16: Power Supply
Power Supply Special care has gone into the design of the power supply of the Stereo Vitalizer MK2-T because the power supply is the heart of any electronic system, and the better it is, the better the whole system works. In an audio system, this translates into better sound quality, lower noise and lower distortion. -
