This module can encode and decode mid-side (M/S) audio information. It's basically like having two modules in one!
You can use it to widen your stereo field by separately adjusting the mid and sides levels. If the BYPASS INSERTS button is toggled on, then the encoder outputs and decoder inputs are automatically connected internally. In this configuration, the only jacks that need to be connected are INPUTS L & R and OUTPUTS L & R.
The OUTPUTS M & S and INPUTS M & S jacks are used to insert your own processing in-between the encoder and decoder stages. For example, you might want to equalize, limit, squash, etc. the mid information separately from the sides. Many advanced techniques can be implemented by using these insert jacks.
