“Lo and behold, my wish was granted: here is the BiG [Studio] in a 1U 19-inch chassis, now with some extended functionality.”
Fritz Fey has been looking forward to the new BiG [Studio] for a long time. Now it’s finally here! Read the review in Studio Magazine (edition 12/25).
“The SPL BiG [Studio] is a two-channel, fully analog hardware processor in a 19-inch rack, entirely dedicated to precise stereo image shaping.”
“In terms of build, the BiG [Studio] comes in a 1U chassis with a clearly structured front panel.”
“Inside, it houses a fully balanced analog circuit with a generously sized power supply, including a 250-volt plate voltage for the tube stage.”
“The BiG [Studio]’s interface is very intuitive, divided into just a few, clearly separated functional sections.”
“For example, the Bigness knob scale has been slightly ‘stretched,’ preventing too much change in the first few millimeters of travel and allowing for finer, more precise control.”
Sound:
“You really have to trust your ears – BiG [Studio] delivers something truly extraordinary.”
“Even at very subtle settings, the stereo field gains a new dimension thanks to the filters’ phase contribution—something you often only notice when bypassing the unit, as the stereo image can collapse or fade without it.”
Conclusion:
“I’m really excited about this 19-inch version of BiG [Studio], which, with the addition of the Harmonics stage, adds an additional, fully independent layer of processing.”
“I still stand by this: even after three years, BiG remains unlike anything else. No one should miss out on its unique approach to stereo imaging.”
“When stereo signals, stems, a mix, or a master seem finished, BiG [Studio] can usually take things one step further: open, airy feel, greater depth, remarkable dimension, and solid presence with enhanced width – all achieved with just four knobs and two switches. An experimental, daring circuit delivers thrilling results.
“I love the BiG [Studio]!”
