RJ Studios says that SideMinder Max is a spectral-based processor that divides the audio into thousands of frequency bands and applies the SideMinder width maximization process to each band. They say that it can widen a stereo signal to the max while preventing "over widening" that can degrade mono compatibility.
A spokesperson told us, "SideMinder Max's band separation filters are all linear phase that preserve the source audio transients for the cleanest and best-sounding processing. It is designed to be fast and easy to set up while providing excellent results. Four Width Contour controls allow shaping the stereo width across the audio spectrum while a single Master Width control adjusts the overall effect."
