S1 Stereo Imager is a suite of three plugins for altering width, stereo positioning and stereo imaging.

Create a massive spread of background vocals or layered guitars, push reverb and delay further from the centre, tilt the stereo image or correct unbalanced loops and mixes. S1 Imager widens tracks, collapses them to mono and positions the image in the stereo field, while S1 Shuffler also broadens the low frequencies with full mono compatibility – for beefier rhythm guitars and extra girth in any stereo mix. The MS Matrix encoder/decoder splits audio into mid and sides for separate processing and then decodes it back into stereo.
