SideMinder Max is the most advanced version of the SideMinder series – a spectral stereo width maximizer that widens a stereo signal to the max while preventing the over-widening that can degrade mono compatibility.

SideMinder Max splits the signal into thousands of linear-phase frequency bands and applies the SideMinder process to each band, with linear-phase band separation filters that preserve the source transients for clean processing. It is quick and easy to set up: four Width Contour controls shape the stereo width across the spectrum, while a single Master Width control adjusts the overall effect. Use it on individual tracks and instruments, stereo group buses and the stereo master bus – for mixing, mastering and video audio post-production.
