Modell 9739 
First Steps
When setting up the Stereo Vitalizer mk2-T for the first time, it is wise to approach the controls in a specific order to avoid confusion and to achieve positive results right from the start. Use a CD as source.
Set-up positions (see front panel picture):
- Drive to zero (centre position)
- Bass Sound to zero (centre position)
- Bass Compression to Off (counter clockwise)
- Mid-Hi Tune to 3.5 kHz (centre position)
- Process to Off (counter clockwise)
- LC-EQ to 2 kHz (counter clockwise)
- Intensity to Off (counter clockwise)
- Stereo Expander to Off (counter clockwise)
- Press the Active switch. You will yet hear no audible change in the sound.
- Slowly move the Process control in from the extreme left. You will find that starting from the 9 o'clock position all frequencies above 3.5 kHz (initial setting Mid-Hi Tune) are becoming more intense. Freqencies below this point are diminished. First set the Process control at 1 o'clock.
- The next step is to shift the Bass Sound control from the zero position to both sides. Turn to the right: The bass sounds tight and dry. Turn to the left: The bass sounds soft and round. Decide on a bass sound of the desired amplitude.
- Now start varying Mid-Hi Tune. The original setting is 3.5 kHz. Turn to the right: The programme material sounds brighter and gets more mids from about 1.5 kHz. The Mid-Hi Tune control sets a starting frequency above which all frequencies are processed. If this starting frequency is lowered, the frequency spectrum included in processing increases. The programme material then sounds brighter and clearer.
Turning the control to the left shifts the starting frequency from 3.5 kHz to higher frequencies. The programme material then sounds increasingly dull, because fewer and fewer frequencies are being included in the process, the higher the frequencies become. The setting you choose is a matter of personal taste.
- The LC-EQ is variable in frequency and amplitude. This section helps you to give voices or other instruments in improved presence. Leave the LC-EQ control in the set-up position (counter clockwise) and turn in the Intensity to around 12 o´clock. This makes the processed signal more natural with a soft, silky-sounding top-end.
- Finally, turn the Stereo Expander control to 12 o'clock position. Note the soft spreading stereo image.
