I have just produced a usefully new version of the DolbyA decoder. The behavior is so exacting that it comes very close (if not superior in distortion) to the real DolbyA WRT spectograms and resulting spectrum response.

I just produced a new version of the decoder. It can do some amazing things, needed because lots of material (mostly before 1990s) has been distributed with DolbyA encoding still intact. That leaves a harsh, compressed HF, sheen, overly crisp voices -- kind of sound on the recording.

sorry to repeat this question from another thread, but i'd really like to know...

is there any stand alone m/s encoder in the market? a web search reveals nothing other than mic preamps and portable recorders with built in encoders...

thanks,

Can anyone recommend an MS decoder for field monitoring use? The AEA MS 38 Lite (headphone amp with MS decode) looked like just the thing for me, but it's out of production. What I liked about it was the combination of headphone amp and MS decoder, so as not to bulk up the kit any more than it already is.

Anyone know of a decent MS decoder for field use? The AEA MS38 Lite (headphone amp with MS decoding) was exactly what I was looking for, but it is sadly out of production.

Hey there,

Anybody know of a reasonably priced outboard M-S decoder box with line level(+4)XLR ins/outs?

AEA sells one that has some extra tweaks(width control, etc.) but it runs at about $600 list.

I've seen some partial circuit designs posted. They seem fairly simple, but they've been either unbalanced or incomplete.

Any thoughts?
