The Orban 222A Stereo Spatial Enhancer augments the spatial image of a stereo broadcasting station. The 222A uses a proprietary technique to magnify and intensify the stereo image — listeners will hear more loudness, brightness, dynamics, and depth. The 222A Stereo Spatial Enhancer: • Detects and enhances the psychoacoustic directional cues present in all stereo program material. • Increases brightness, impact, and definition of music. • Is specifically designed to avoid any distortion caused by increases in L-R subchannel level in multipath situations. • Does not increase multipath distortion, unnaturally exaggerate reverberation, or increase sensitivity to vertical tracing distortion in disk playback (when operated with recommended control settings). • Is fully compatible with mono receivers. • Complements any broadcast audio processor. • Has intelligent gating to make it immune to small errors in channel balance, prevents over-enhancement, and avoids the mushy, homogenized sound that typically occurred when stereo enhancement was attempted with earlier techniques.
