The CLASSIC VITALIZER combines most modern equalisation,  
phase shift manipulation and harmonic enhancement to provide  
signal enhancement across the entire audio spectrum. Based on  
established psychoacoustic and audiometric principles, the  
VITALIZER brings mid-range material into sharp focus while  
enhancing high frequencies.The attendant harshness introduced  
by units that add controlled distortion to the signal is avoided. At  
the low end the sub-bass is accentuated without incurring the  
penalties of boomyness or clouded low-mid detail that inevitably  
occur when conventional equalisers are used. The result is a  
sound that is subjectively more powerful, more detailed and  
more commercially appealing. Additionally, a separate stereo  
width-expander is incorporated which may be used either in  
conjunction with the VITALIZER equalisers or on its own.  
Introduction  
The VITALIZER may be used on complete mixes or on individual  
tracks within a mix. Furthermore, a PROCESS SOLO function allows  
the processed signal to be added selectively to different tracks  
within a mix using the mixing console’s aux send system. Both  
signal channels of the VITALIZER are identical and have separate  
controls with the exception of STEREO WIDTH which affects both  
channels. If the unit is to be used as two independent mono chan-  
nels, this control should be set fully counter-clockwise. The VITA-  
LIZER may be connected either via suitable signal insert points or  
via the aux send/return circuit of a mixing console; in the latter  
application, the PROCESS SOLO button must be active.  
The Signal Peak LED should light either briefly on signal peaks  
or not at all. In operation, the Signal Peak LED comes on 3 dB  
before the onset of clipping in the processing chain. All front  
panel push-button switches have status LEDs that light when the  
switch is active. Each channel has an independent ACTIVE/BYPASS  
switch. Processing is achieved by adding a treated signal to the  
original. The treated signal may be auditioned by depressing the  
PROCESS SOLO button.  
Packaged in a standard 19" EIA format and occupying 1U  
(44,45 mm) of rack space, the VITALIZER can be installed in a stan-  
dard rack, but it is recommended to support the rear of the case –  
especially in touring applications. The VITALIZER should not be  
installed near units which produce strong magnetic fields or  
extreme heat or directly above or below power amplifiers or  
digital processors. If possible, the VITALIZER should be placed in  
an 'analogue rack' where the majority (or all) of the equipment  
installed is analogue.  
Hook up  
• Use a small, flat bladed screwdriver to set the voltage selector to  
the voltage for the area in which the unit will be used.  
• Never cover up the ventilation slots on the top side of the unit.  
• If, during operation, the sound is interrupted or indicators no  
longer illuminate, or if abnormal odour or smoke is detected, or  
if liquids are spilled on the unit, immediately disconnect the  
power cord plug and contact your dealer.  
• Only clean the unit with a soft, lint-free cloth. Use only standard  
cleaning agents.

Before connecting the VITALIZER or any other equipment turn off  
all power. Adjust the voltage setting on the back so that it corre-  
sponds with the local power conditions.  
Connections  
The balanced XLR input connectors are Neutrik XLRs wired pin 2  
hot. The unbalanced mono-jacks are wired tip hot. Should the  
need arise to use the XLR unit in an unbalanced system, pin 3 of  
both the input and output connectors should be grounded.  
The following graph shows the correct wiring for connecting  
unbalanced signals to the balanced XLR connectors:  
Both output stages operate in parallel, so it is possible to connect  
two different destination units simultaneously, for example to  
record to two different media at the same time or split the output  
between a mixer and effects processor. However, only one type of  
input (jack or XLR) should be connected at a time – the VITALIZER  
is not intended to be used as a mixer!  
To ensure optimal signal quality, SPL has developed a new  
hybrid-component balanced input/output stage using all laser-  
trimmed resistors with a tolerance of 0.01 %. This approach has  
resulted in an exceptionally high CCMR (common mode rejec-  
tion); 100 dB at 1kHz and 80 dB at 10 kHz.  
As a precaution, before connecting the VITALIZER switch off the  
power to the unit and to all connected units.

1.The most obvious application of the VITALIZER is to process a  
final stereo mix, either while mixing or during post-production  
prior to cutting. It is important to use full-range monitors to assess  
the effect of any bass processing since it is valuable to occasionally  
switch the processor in and out of circuit in order to appreciate  
how much processing has been added. The brain-hearing system  
soon acclimatises to changes in timbre processing is easily over-  
done! It is recommended to refer frequently to known recordings.

2. Another popular stereo application is the processing of existing  
master tapes during post-production such as remastering archive  
material for CD release. If a single-ended noise reduction system  
is used to clean up the original, the VITALIZER can make a signifi-  
cant contribution in restoring the high end detail that invariably  
suffers during such treatment.

3. When processing stereo-mixes it is recommended to patch the  
VITALIZER into the master-breaks of the console. Mostly these  
breaks are switched pre-fader, so that the monitoring volume  
does not affect the processing intensity, which would be the case  
when using the VITALIZER on the master outputs of the console.

4. Another interesting application is the use of the VITALIZER  
right after a compressor unit in the master signal chain. Using the  
VITALIZER before a compressor can result in more obvious side-  
effects of the compressor, such as pumping. It is also possible to  
patch the VITALIZER into the aux send system of a console in  
much the same way as a reverb or delay unit as long as the  
PROCESS SOLO switch is active. The aux return mixing stages in  
some consoles are designed in a more cost effective and simpler  
way than in the VITALIZER.Thats why it might be possible that the  
sonic effect of the VITALIZER sounds different when using the unit  
on the aux send/ return system.

5. To obtain better transparency and a full rich sound even if very  
long reverb-times are used, the processing of the reverb can be  
interesting, too. Connect the VITALIZER right after the reverb unit

Tape duplication is often made at high speed, resulting in a dete-  
rioration of the high frequency spectrum of the copies. By proces-  
sing the output from the source machine, additional brightness  
can be added to compensate for deficiencies in the copying  
system. It may also be necessary to modify the bass end as many  
high speed systems fail to reproduce the bass end of the spec-  
trum faithfully. In both applications, the VITALIZER is both effec-  
tive and simple to set up.  
Applications  
Tape Duplication  
Broadcast  
The VITALIZER is perfectly suited for the production of radio  
jingles, commercials and station idents. Due to the unique proces-  
sing of the VITALIZER the treated signal will appear louder, closer,  
brighter and more intelligible than those signals broadcasted  
without VITALIZER processing. In commercial radio, the VITALIZER  
can be used to process the entire on-air signal helping the radio  
station stand out from the competition. The integral STEREO  
WIDTH expander creates a wider stereo spread for those listeners  
using a narrow speaker geometry (e. g. car and portable systems).  
P. A.  
In live performances or in club installations, the VITALIZER is a  
powerful ally in maintaining speech intelligibility under difficult  
conditions. It is also of great benefit in systems designed to play  
recorded music because the hearing sensation of loudness can  
be maintained at lower absolute SPLs. This could be particularly  
beneficial with the introduction of new noise level legislation. On  
the subjective side, the VITALIZER helps produce a detailed, tight  
sound, even from indifferent speaker systems giving an improve-  
ment in perceived audio quality.  
As in other areas, the VITALIZER can be used to optimise dialogue,  
especially when the microphone placement is inadequate (for  
example when the mic must be kept out of shot). Music sound-  
tracks benefit in the same way as described for audio-only appli-  
cations. For most soundtrack producers the enormous ease of use  
compared with tuning multi-band equalisers means to save a lot  
of wasted time.  
Video & Film  
Post Production  
Time-compressed audio can also be treated to restore the lack  
of timbre.This is particularly valid in the case of vocal narratives as  
even a relatively small amount of time compression or expansion  
can dramatically compromise the sound quality.  
On the post production work on Spike Lee´s Malcom Xthe  
voice of Denzel Washington playing Malcolm X was treated with  
the Vitalizer for dramatical reasons:  
We wanted to make sure that there was a dramatic quality  
difference between the voice-over and the sync dialog,”  
Fleischman adds, offering a mixer´s view.You try to find a balance  
between two center mics then balance that with whatever you´re  
using from left-right pair.We then treated it with the SPL Vitalizer,  
a program equalizer. It brings a lot more presence to the upper  
end of the spectrum and a very deep low end so that the voice  
sounds full.(Mix Magazine)

Both channels of the VITALIZER are set-up identically and can be  
controlled separately except the STEREO WIDTH control. If the  
channels are to be used separately, the STEREO WIDTH control is  
to be set to OFF. If the VITALIZER is connected to the ,,Aux Send/  
ReturnBus, the PROCESS SOLO circuitry must be activated.  
First Steps  
Check the PEAK LED regularly: short illuminating indicates  
peaks at about 3 dB below clipping constant illumination is to  
be avoided. Please contact SPL if you are not satisfied with the  
Input Level adjustment. All front switch positions are indicated by  
Status-LEDs.The ACTIVE button switches each channel in or off.  
When setting up the VITALIZER for the first time, it is recom-  
mended to approach the controls in a specific order to achieve  
positive results right from the start.  
Initially, set the SUB BASS and HARMONICS controls to 0. Please  
note that the SUB BASS control is off in its center position, not  
when set fully counter-clockwise.  
Set the MID-HI TUNE control to around 3.5 kHz and then  
advance the PROCESS DEPTH control until the processing can be  
heard. You should hear a change in the mid-range but no appre-  
ciable change at the bass end.  
To hear the effect of the MID-HI TUNE control in isolation, in-  
crease the PROCESS DEPTH and set the SUB BASS and HARMONICS  
controls to 0.  
Next, try advancing the SUB BASS control both clockwise and  
counter-clockwise and listen to the different effect on the  
character of the bass end. At this point, it is also interesting to hear  
the difference the DEEP button makes (full-range monitors  
needed; near-field monitors do not generally have the necessary  
low frequency capability to reveal the extent of the low-  
frequency processing applied by the VITALIZER).  
To hear the effect of the SUB BASS in isolation, turn up the  
PROCESS DEPTH control, set HARMONICS to minimum and set the  
MID-HI TUNE fully counter clockwise to its maximum frequency of  
22 kHz.  
In the next step, advance the HARMONICS control and listen to  
the high end details. To hear the effect of this control in isolation,  
set the PROCESS DEPTH to minimum. Note that the MID-HI TUNE  
frequency control still influences the action of the HARMONICS  
section.  
Finally, turn up the STEREO WIDTH control to the 12 oclock  
position and note the soft spreading stereo image.

Control Elements  
The ACTIVE-function allows to switch between the processed and  
unprocessed signal. The green status LED indicates that the  
channel is active. A relais hard bypass circuitry works on both XLR  
and Jack connections. In case of a power failure the unit is swit-  
ched to hard-bypass.  
Active  
Output  
The outer ring of the dual-concentric control sets the output level  
and is usually set in its fully clockwise position giving unity gain.  
However, intensive processing, especially of the bass end, may  
increase the overall signal level. The GAIN control may be used to  
control the output accordingly.  
Process Depth  
(Part 1)  
The inner ring of the dual-concentric control regulates the inten-  
sity of the equalisation process. The effect only pertains to the  
SUB BASS and MID-HI TUNE controls. Effects generated using the  
HARMONICS or STEREO WIDTH controls are not affected.  
Process Solo  
Sub Bass  
The PROCESS SOLO button may be used to compare the  
processed signal with the dry signal. Alternatively a processed  
only output can be created (necessary when using the VITALIZER  
in the effects send/return loop of a mixing console).  
The SUB BASS control is arranged so as to have no effect when set  
to its central position denoted by a ~ on the scale. Turned clock-  
wise, the processing produces a tight, punchy bass sound free  
from boomyness. The scale markers in the clockwise half of the  
scale are square markers to give a visual indication that a tight or  
sharply defined bass sound is being produced.  
When turned in the counter-clockwise direction, a very deep,  
warm bass sound is created. This is denoted by circular markers  
on the counter-clockwise half of the scale suggesting a rounded”  
sound.The processing increases the more the controls are turned  
from its centre position.  
As with the MID-HI TUNE control, the amount of processed  
signal added to the main signal is determined by the setting of  
the PROCESS DEPTH control.

The DEEP button spreads the frequency range around which the  
SUB BASS is centered. Also the level is increased by +4 dB at the  
centre frequency of 50 Hz.  
Control Elements  
This affects both the hard and soft bass settings giving the  
choice of four possible permutations.  
Deep  
Equalising the mid-range signal according to the dynamics and  
spectral content of the input signal, the VITALIZER improves the  
focus of mid-range detail while modifying the overall signal  
response curve to create an impression of increased loudness.  
The degree of processing is controlled by the PROCESS DEPTH  
control while the MID-HI TUNE control is used to set the lower  
frequency limit at which processing will take place.  
Mid-Hi Tune  
With the control set fully counter-clockwise at 22 kHz, no  
audible processing will be evident as the filters are limiting  
processing to those frequencies outside the human range of  
hearing. However, if you turn the PROCESS DEPTH control fully  
clockwise you will hear the high end starting to sound duller than  
the dry signal. This effect can be used to dull out very bright  
signals. By decreasing the frequency setting, the processing will  
become more evident. Additionally, the lower the frequency is  
set, the more obvious the effect becomes since more of the audio  
spectrum is being treated.  
It is generally best to start off with this control set to some-  
where between 3 kHz and 6 kHz and then fine tune by ear.  
Adjusting the bandwidth preset control (Q, inside the front  
panel) changes the characteristics of the MID-HI TUNE filter. The  
VITALIZER is shipped with the Q setting in its minimum position  
(counter-clockwise) which is best suited to general purpose  
processing. A higher Q may be selected in order to selectively  
enhance certain parts of the audio spectrum such as hi-hats as  
may be desirable when mastering a record or reworking an  
existing recording.  
Q
Bandwidth Setting of Mid-Hi Tune  
If the Q control is advanced too far clockwise, the filter is likely  
to oscillate. In this case the control should be backed off until  
oscillation ceases. For stereo applications, care should be taken to  
ensure that the Q presets on either channel are set up as similarly  
as possible to eliminate the possibility of spectrally related image  
shifts.  
This control affects the amount of SUB BASS and MID-HI TUNE  
filter signal added back into the mix and will cause certain domi-  
nating mid-range frequencies to be attenuated increasing the  
overall sense of loudness. Since the human ear perceives the  
audio spectrum differently at different SPLs (sound pressure  
levels), the VITALIZER reshapes the spectrum so as to convince the  
human brain/hearing system that the sound being heard is  
louder than it actually is.  
Process Depth  
(Teil 2)

Advancing the setting of the PROCESS DEPTH control simulta-  
neously increases the amount of MID-HI TUNE filter and SUB BASS  
signals in the mix while attenuating other midrange frequencies  
to enhance the sense of loudness, thus increasing clarity, bass end  
punch and overall power.  
Control Elements  
Because the PROCESS DEPTH control is really varying three  
parameters at once, it is worthwhile setting aside a little time to  
explore the important interaction between the PROCESS DEPTH,  
SUB BASS and MID-HI TUNE controls.

Harmonics  
This harmonic enhancement circuitry is based on fourth-order  
filters and phase manipulation, effectively restoring harmonics  
that have been corrupted during the recording process or by  
other equipment in the processing chain. It may also be used to  
increase the subjective brightness of a sound without introdu-  
cing harshness. Used as an effect, this process is useful for increa-  
sing the intelligibility and intimacy of vocals.  
The harmonic circuitry is driven by a signal combining the  
original, drysignal and the output signal of the MID-HI TUNE  
filter. The HARMONICS control determines how much of the  
restored harmonics are added back to the original signal. Though  
the circuitry of the VITALIZER is inherently very quite, please note  
that applying any significant degree of high frequency proces-  
sing will show up any noise present as part of the signal source.  
For this reason, the signal source should be as noise-free as  
possible. The harmonics control is independent of the PROCESS  
DEPTH control.

Working on established inter-channel phase principles, the  
STEREO WIDTH control increases the subjective soundstage  
width of any stereo source. The off-centre signals of the stereo  
source are detected and fed back phase inverted to the opposite  
channel. This effect can be applied to overall mixes as well as to  
single instruments. Very interesting is the spreading of the stereo  
image of overhead mics of drums-sets, choruses or horn sections.  
Control Elements  
Surround Processor  
The Surround Processor section is independent from all other  
processes and is not affected by the ACTIVE buttons or PROCESS  
DEPTH controls. To deactivate the effect of this section, the  
STEREO WIDTH control should be set fully counter clockwise. In  
standard applications a STEREO WIDTH setting above the  
2 oclock position is not recommended for complete mixes.  
However, such settings can produce some very interesting special  
effects for single instruments.  
Power Supply  
Special care has gone into the design of the power supply of the  
VITALIZER the better it is, the better the system works. In an  
audio system, this translates into better sound quality, lower noise  
and lower distortion.  
The power supply is based around a 15 VA toroidal transformer  
and is designed to minimise induced hum and noise due to the  
lack of an air-gap.  
The primary voltage may be selected between 230 V / 50 Hz and  
115 V / 60 Hz by means of a recessed slide switch on the rear panel  
and a rear-panel ground-lift switch is fitted for use where ground  
loops are causing hum problems. When the Gnd Lift switch is set  
to off, the circuit ground is isolated from the chassis ground.  
The detachable power cord is a standard 3-wire type fitted with  
an IEC mains connector; the transformer, power cord and mains  
connector have VDE, UL and CSA approvals.  
The fuse has a value of 315 mA for the primary voltage.  
On the secondary side of the power supply, an RC combination  
is used to filter out noise and hum voltages. Both half-waves are  
smoothed with 4000 microF capacitors in the positive and nega-  
tive supply path, and both lines use precision voltage regulators  
for optimum stability. Deviations of only a few millivolts can  
impair audio quality, introducing artifacts such as loss of stereo  
imaging or a diffused sound character.
