The Fusion Stereo Image Plug-in brings the acclaimed mid-side circuit of the SSL Fusion stereo outboard hardware processor directly into your digital audio workstation. Renowned for its natural and three-dimensional enhancement of sound, this plug-in enables precise control over the width, depth, and spatial characteristics of individual instruments, vocals, or entire mixes. It offers a refined approach to shaping the stereo field, helping your tracks achieve clarity and presence.

This plug-in is modeled on the true-analogue mid-side processing circuit originally designed by EMI engineer Alan Blumlein, which separates stereo signals into mid (center) and side (left-right) components. Using the WIDTH control, you can adjust the balance between these components to either narrow or widen the stereo image. The SPACE circuit introduces frequency-dependent width adjustment inspired by Stereo Shuffling, allowing you to add depth and dimension by emphasizing or reducing specific frequency ranges within the stereo field.

Additional features include the SHUFFLE control, which fine-tunes the frequency cut-off in the SPACE circuit for greater tonal shaping, and a vector scope that visually represents the stereo image of your signal. The plug-in also offers SOLO SIDE monitoring to audition the stereo elements independently, along with an A/B system and preset management for easy workflow integration. Crafted with input from the original SSL Fusion hardware designers and loaded with presets from top producers and engineers, this plug-in provides a professional-grade toolset for enhancing your stereo soundstage.
