The SPL BiG 500-Series Stereo Image Shaper is designed to enhance the stereo imaging of your mixes, in a unique intuitive way, all in a compact 2 slot 500 series format!

The SPL BiG 500-Series Stereo Image Shaper enlarges the stereo image in a new manner and opens up new creative ways of sound shaping. Intuitive with just three controls.

The On/Bypass switch activates (On) or deactivates (Bypass) the module. This allows you to quickly switch between processed and unprocessed signal. The signal LEDs (Sig) indicate whether an audio signal is present at the input of the respective channel. (With a level higher than -20 dBu). With the Range control, the frequency Range which should be processed can be selected. With the Stage control, the frequency range previously selected with the Range control can be moved backwards or forwards on the stereo stage. The huge BIGNESS control adjusts the intensity of the STEREO IMAGE SHAPING. The BASS/Off switch can be used to activate (BASS) or deactivate (Off) an additional bass boost following the BIGNESS section. The bass boost is performed by a passive filter implemented in a similar circuit to the one used in the AirBass function of the SPL IRON Mastering Compressor.

All SPL devices are developed not only according to plan, but also by ear. All important components are installed on the circuit boards using Through-hole technology. This way SPL ensures only the best sounding components!

    Blows away plug ins
    Jimm Mosher

    This is absolutely the best stereo widening unit you'll find. Everything remains in phase when collapsed to mono Highly recommended

    The Big is the best
    Jimm Mosher

    Hands down the best period. Most natural stereo whitening I've ever used. Does not affect your mixes either.

    leonardo manosalvas

    this unit will work on a 2 bus but beware not on everything, it will be for some tracks that lack bass and width

    Once you go BiG, you uhh... won't go back
    Ethan Waltz

    It would be extremely hard to pry this unit from my cold dead hands as it does weird magical things you've always imagined in your mind when you think "better" or "bigger" or "more 3D" with just a few twists of a knob. Then, somehow, it collapses into mono without ruining the mix. I'd love to know how it works, but I am okay with not knowing just so there's one piece of actual magic in my world. Pull a card, any card, and buy the BiG.

    I enjoy the 500 series platform so I decided to give this a chance after reading and checking out some videos on it. I am a fan of SPL and this fits nicely in my studio. You won't be disappointed, it does what it's supposed to do....Thanks again Frontend Audio.....

    No plugin equivalent
    Carey Bruce

    That should speak for itself. You buy this and you question using reverbs ever again. I spent months learning the ins and outs before I started using this on a commercial product. I suggest doing the same

    Big and Wide!
    Gerry Diwa

    This is a super cool module for widening the stereo field, and more, also adds heft and depth. I have no regrets being an early bird on this one (got it at $649!).
