[STUDIO]

The Stereo Image Bigger Maker in 19″ rack format

BiG [Studio] spectacularly enlarges the stereo image and opens up new creative ways of sound shaping.

BiG [Studio] expands the possibilities of sound shaping with a new tube circuit. The Tube Harmonics control refines the harmonic spectrum of every signal, making it more vivid, detailed and increased in size – bigger than life!

Visually, BiG [Studio] sports the black design of the SPL Studio series.

The internal audio voltage of +/-18V ensures great sound!

Redefines the big of stereo.

BiG [Studio] is special.
BiG [Studio] is unique.

BiG [Studio] enlarges the stereo image
in a new manner and opens up
new creative ways of sound shaping.

Range

With the Range control, the frequency range which should be processed can be selected.

Stage

With the Stage control, the frequency range previously selected with the Range control can be moved backwards or forwards on the stereo stage.

Bigness

The Bigness control adjusts the intensity
of the stereo image shaping.

Black magic?

In BiG [Studio] a difference signal derived from the input signal is processed by an analog filter network before mixed back to the original signal in a special mixing stage. This is not only simple M/S processing but a completely different and new way of stereo-processing.
The processed stereo signal, when summed to mono, creates a clean mono signal without phase shifts, cancellations, or other unwanted artifacts.

Tube Magic

Tube Harmonics

The Tube Harmonics control adjusts the intensity of the harmonics generated in the tube.

Harmonics

When the Harmonics switch is activated, the tube circuit which generates harmonics is in the signal path.

If this switch flashes, the device is in “warm-up” mode. The tubes are being brought to the optimum operating temperature.

More bass!

The bass switch can be used to activate an additional bass boost
at the end of the BiG [Studio] processing chain.

The bass boost is performed by a filter similar to the one
used in the AirBass function of the SPL IRON Mastering Compressor.

Let's go!

PWR

The PWR LED indicates that BiG [Studio] is powered
and that the device is switched on via the On switch
on the rear of the device and is ready for operation.

On

The On switch activates BiG [Studio]. When activated, the switch lights up. If the device is in bypass mode,
the switch is not illuminated.

Inputs and outputs

All inputs and outputs of the BiG [Studio] are equipped with XLR jacks with gold-plated contacts and TRS jacks. The XLR and TRS jacks are connected in parallel. Signal transmission is electronically balanced at a nominal level of 6 +dB.

Ground

The ground switch on the rear panel of the BiG [Studio] can be used to eliminate ground loops by disconnecting the internal ground from the housing ground when the switch is pressed.

Looks great, feels great – and lasts for a lifetime

BiG [Studio] has a 4 mm thick, black anodized aluminum front panel and aluminum knobs milled from solid. The housing is made of high-quality steel and is powder-coated in elegant black.

Sounds good

With all SPL devices we develop not only according to plan, but also by ear.
Many important components are installed on the circuit boards using Through-hole technology. This way we can ensure that we can use the best sounding components.

Home is where the heart is

That’s why we manufacture all devices in our own production facility in Niederkrüchten on the Lower Rhine, Germany.
