Stereo Aligned Saturation

Authors: Sardo, Quintino G.; Mangano, Angelo

AES Convention 137 · Paper 174 · October 2014

Abstract

All analog devices provide a finite dynamic range. Saturation occurs when available headroom ceiling is reached. Often, saturation is a desired effect to provide punch, brightness or changes in timbre, but stereo image is compromised because stereo saturation cannot be matched. Tests and methods for stereo aligned saturation are analyzed and described.
