Behringer SU9920 Sonic Ultramizer Stereo Processor

Behringer SU9920 Overview

Add impact to your music both on stage and in the studio with the Behringer SU9920 Sonic Ultramizer, a signal processor that gives your music added dimension, presence, and liveliness using a combination of a dynamic filter and 3-band phase-delay algorithm. The SU9920 is similar to an exciter, but unlike an exciter, doesn't add any additional harmonics it only process the harmonics in the existing material, restoring the original relationships between the fundamental tone and the harmonics. It also allows you to boost the high- and low-frequency bands independently of each other. The result is a more natural sounding enhancement that can be used on a wide variety of source material.

Put the SU2290 to Work for You

• Music is made up of very complex sound waves that cover a wide range of frequencies and harmonics. And no matter how good your sound system is, reproducing music, in all its intricate detail, is an art that often requires a little extra " magic" .
• The SU9920 provides a healthy dose of sonic magic using 2 simple controls (Process and Low Contour) to compensate for the phase and amplitude differences that occur between these frequencies during amplification— anomalies that can take the luster off an otherwise perfect performance.
• The SU9920 lets you dial in articulate mids, sparkling highs, and ultra-tight low end.

A Versatile Piece for Live and Studio Use

• Since the SU9920 has 2 independent channels, you can process a stereo signal or 2 mono signals, such as a bass guitar in one channel and a keyboard, vocal, or guitar in the other.
• A powerful sound enhancement tool for home and professional recording studios, DJ systems, PA systems, and web-casting, the SU9920 Sonic Ultramizer is also an amazing addition to your 5.1 surround and hi-fi setups.
• In a studio environment, the SU9920 brings increased focus and clarity to your sessions and is also well suited for mastering your recording projects. Even if you work primarily with a digital audio workstation, you can easily add a touch of professional high-end polish to your music by using the SU9920 during the final mastering process.

Vibrant Live Sound

• Using the SU9920 in live sound applications is an excellent way to give your sound system stunning clarity and incredible low-end punch and with only 2 controls per channel, you’ ll master dialing it up in no time at all.
• The Process knob controls how much of the high-frequency content is processed, with a maximum level boost of +12 dBu at 5 kHz.
• Likewise, the Low Contour knob controls how much of the low-frequency content is processed, with a maximum level boost of +12 dBu at 50 Hz.
• With these 2 simple dials, you can make major signal-quality improvements and bring out the very best in your sound system— whether you’ re mixing a duo at the coffee house or dialing a massive outdoor concert.

Maximum Intelligibility

• In public facility applications, such as churches, meeting halls, and other predominantly spoken-word events, the SU9920 dramatically increases vocal intelligibility, so the speaker’ s message is clearly heard— all the way to the back of the room.
• Musical performances in these applications also benefit from SU9920 enhancement, exhibiting increased punch, definition, and high-end presence, even at surprisingly low volume levels.

For Individual Instruments

• In addition to being great for use with stereo signals, the Sonic Ultramizer is ideal for individual instrument signals, such as guitar, keyboards, or bass.
• Just connect the SU9920 into the signal path, or use your amp's effects loop for sound with more presence, fullness, and punch.
• Since the SU9920 can be run in stereo or dual mono, you can even use one side for the bass and the other for a keyboard or guitar.
