TK Audio M/S Blender 500

The TK Audio M/S Blender 500 is a smart little utility that can do far more than its size suggests. It works as a dual mono blender, linked stereo parallel processor, and M/S encoder/decoder, making it a seriously flexible tool for anyone working with compression, saturation, distortion, or width processing in the 500 series format.

In standard mode, it behaves as two independent mono blenders. Engage Link and it becomes a stereo parallel processor with one control handling both channels. Switch to M/S mode and the unit encodes left and right into mid and side, lets you process them separately with external gear, then decodes everything back to stereo before the blend stage. A built-in cue function also lets you monitor left, right, mid, or side signals directly.

Used for parallel compression, the M/S Blender 500 makes it easy to add punch, energy, and density while keeping the original transients intact. In M/S mode, it opens up even more creative options, from tightening the centre to adding air and width at the sides, all without needing a dedicated stereo M/S processor.
