Welcome"

Thanks for purchasing the DaySequerra Mono2Stereo. Our Mono2Stereo four channel stereo
synthesizer uses a DTS Neural proprietary algorithm developed to produce an artifact-free, wide

soundstage with perfect, spectrally balanced stereo from mono content. We design and build all of our
DaySequerra products to be completely reliable and easy to use, so you can concentrate on producing
great sounding broadcasts, not struggling with complicated equipment or difficult to use product
manuals.

While the Mono2Stereo has been designed to be straightforward to use, we do suggest that you spend
a few minutes familiarizing yourself with the features and operational functions that are contained in this
manual.

DaySequerra has been building broadcast quality products since 1989. The technology developed for
the Mono2Stereo, and all of our products, has evolved through a process of user feedback, extensive
listening, field-testing and careful refinement.

In the event that you encounter any technical or operational difficulties with this or any DaySequerra
product, please feel free to contact us at 856-719-9900. Our office hours are from 9 to 5 ET, Monday
through Friday. Or you can email your questions to: [e-mail].

Important Note: Please connect your Mono2Stereo to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to
provide other protection against power surges and brownouts.

If Mono2Stereo is subjected to a strong RFI field, such as those emitted from portable two way
radios, the display may “blank out”. To restore the display without rebooting the unit, turn the
rotary encoder to activate the main menu, and then press HOME. If the keylock is enabled, you
will have to deactivate it by pressing the ENTER key followed by BACK.

Service"Information"

The DaySequerra Mono2Stereo contains no user serviceable components inside the unit. Please
contact DaySequerra for repair and upgrade information. In the event that your unit needs to be
returned to the factory, contact us for a return authorization number. Please visit

www.daysequerra.com and register your new Mono2Stereo so we can keep you informed of the
latest hardware and software updates.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of un­insulated “dangerous voltages” within the product’s enclosure that may be of a sufficient level
to cause harm.

The exclamation point within a triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important

operating and maintenance instructions within the
product literature.

Exposed portions of the power supply assembly are
electrically live. To reduce risk of electric shock, the
power cord must be disconnected when the power
supply assembly is removed. For continued
protection against electric shock, a correctly wired
and grounded (earthed) three-pin power outlet must
be used. Do not use a ground-lifting adapter and
never cut the ground pin on the three-prong plug.
The ground terminal of the power plug is connected
directly to the chassis of the unit.

Introduction

With an overwhelmingly large catalog of monaural material and broadcasts throughout the world, it was
clear that there was a demand for an easy solution to create an accurate sounding stereo experience
from a single channel input.

Where conventional conversion techniques use comb filtering for stereo synthesis, with the result being
an essentially flat frequency response is maintained for both channels under all conditions,
Mono2Stereo is designed to produce an artifact-free, wide soundstage with perfect, spectrally balanced
stereo from mono content.

Four independent channels of mono audio are synthesized into stereo with width and depth
information, creating a convincing image often indistinguishable from original stereo content. In addition
to the creation of a synthetic stereo signal, a low shelf filter, high shelf filter, and limiter are included to
further enhance the signal quality. With three included default pre-set profiles and four user defined
profiles, Mono2Stereo is versatile enough to allow fine adjustments render any audio to perfection.

"
Operational"Diagram"

The diagram below shows a Mono2Stereo taking a mono audio source, and creating a stereo mix using
the proprietary Neural Audio process.

The stereo mix produced from the input content is contains realistic space and depth synthesis for an
accurate stereo sound reproduction to the end listener.

"
Typical"Applications

Here are some examples that describe some typical applications where you might use Mono2Stereo.

• Live Events

• Radio Broadcasting

• Internet Broadcasting

• Anywhere a mono microphone is used
