World-class M-S Processor for Mastering
The SPL Gemini is a mid-side processing unit that leverages SPL’s proprietary 120V Rail Technology for superior performance. Optimized for mastering, Gemini provides M-S encoding and decoding, giving you a surprising amount of flexibility to access individual elements within a stereo mix. For example, Gemini can separate mid signals such as kick, snare, bass, or lead vocals from side signals like guitars, keyboards, and cymbals. Mastering engineers at Sweetwater Studios are highly impressed with the SPL Gemini. You will be, too.

The SPL Gemini also lets you enhance the stereo image of a mix. Gemini’s Balance control gives you the option of re-positioning the mid signal within the stereo spread, while its Trim control lets you tweak the mid signal level in relation to the side signal. There’s also a Stereo Width control that provides adjustment for the mix ratio between the mid and side channels. Also onboard is an Elliptical Filter, which can attenuate the low-frequency content of the side band. The SPL Gemini is a powerful tool for home, project, and commercial recording facilities and mastering houses. You will be amazed and delighted at what it can do for your mixes!
The benefits of 120V Rail Technology
SPL’s 120V Rail Technology lets the Gemini run on an operating voltage of 120 volts — twice that of discrete op-amps and four times that of semiconductor operational amplifiers — in order to achieve superior technical and sonic performance. On the technical side, 120V Rail Technology optimizes headroom and dynamic range — which manifests sonically in the effortless resolution of fine details and overall a confident, relaxed rendition of program material. Music sounds completely natural, while listening fatigue is dramatically reduced.
