Sound Performance Lab Classic Vitalizer 9215 - Manual (Page 7)

4. Another interesting application is the use of the VITALIZER
right after a compressor unit in the master signal chain. Using the
VITALIZER before a compressor can result in more obvious side-
effects of the compressor, such as pumping. It is also possible to
patch the VITALIZER into the aux send system of a console in
much the same way as a reverb or delay unit as long as the
PROCESS SOLO switch is active. The aux return mixing stages in
some consoles are designed in a more cost effective and simpler
way than in the VITALIZER.That’s why it might be possible that the
sonic effect of the VITALIZER sounds different when using the unit
on the aux send/ return system.
5. To obtain better transparency and a full rich sound even if very
long reverb-times are used, the processing of the reverb can be
interesting, too. Connect the VITALIZER right after the reverb unit
and feed the VITALIZER outputs to the aux returns.
6. It is also possible to use the VITALIZER either in place of or to
supplement an equalizer for enhancing individual channels or
sub groups.
