Three Main Controls for a Big Stereo Image

With the RANGE control, the frequency range to be processed is selected. With the STAGE control, the selected frequency range can be moved backward or forwards in the stereo stage, while the BIGNESS control adjusts the intensity of the processing.

Another highlight is the BASS function, which is the same feature concept as found on the SPL “IRON” mastering compressor. This bass boost is created using a passive filter, which is implemented on BiG using a circuit similar to the ‘AirBass’ function of the IRON.All components for the BiG 500 Series module are installed on the circuit boards with ‘Through-hole technology’ so that the best-sounding components can be used. And like all SPL devices, BiG is manufactured in SPL’s production facility in Niederkrüchten, on the Lower Rhine, in Germany.
