From Vertigo Sound
The VSM-2 is a creative fully analog Mixing and Mastering tool that represents an "All In One"-solution / effect for Mastering studios with switching devices, monitor controllers, M/S [Mid-Side] en-code & de-coders, along with its two highly sophisticated harmonic generation section. In mixing this invaluable tool permits you to achieve almost unheard of flexibility with the ability to tailor your sounds to fit perfectly into your ultimate balance.
The most unique feature of the VSM-2 is the 2nd harmonic generator [called the “FET Crusher”,] and the 3rd harmonic generator [called the “Zener Bender”]. Both generators can function “full bandwidth” or in any of 4 select frequency ranges permitting the user unparalleled control in both mixing as well as mastering applications
The VSM-2 “Mix Satellite” allows you to try different processing strategies quickly, in rapid succession, so your time spent on a given sound is minimized while you can maintain full perspective of what you're working to achieve. You can switch between conventional Stereo and M/S processing within seconds or you can blend the Mix with the unprocessed signal by dialing only one knob.
The Solo M&S Function allows you to listen closely to M or S and to optimize your processing setting!
• All analog, latency free processing
• Two fully balanced inserts on XLR offering MS En & DE-coding
