|The SuperPhat block is an advanced algorithm that allows for a wider stereo image to be played back from two closely spaced speakers. This spatializer algorithm is only meant to widen signals that are already in stereo format, in order to enhance the image. The function is similar to the [[resources/tools-software/sigmastudio/toolbox/adialgorithms/phatstereo|Phat-Stereo]] algorithm but performs a much more advanced implementation of the algorithm to get a better effect.|{{superphatpic1.png}}|

===Algorithm Description===
The SuperPhat algorithm is a playback spatializer that takes a stereo image, and widens the signal for playback from two closely spaced speakers. The algorithm accepts a stereo signal and outputs an enhanced stereo image for playback. The algorithm is based on proprietary filtering and gain adjustment in order to produce the widened image.

The two parameters available for adjustment Spread Frequency and Effect Gain, change the responsiveness of the effect. Depending on the actual physical end system, different values should be used to obtain the optimal effect. Subjective listening tests are the recommended way to set the values for these parameters.
 
===Example===
The following schematic image shows the SuperPhat algorithm in comparison with the [[resources/tools-software/sigmastudio/toolbox/adialgorithms/phatstereo|Phat-Stereo]] algorithm. Both algorithms have similar functions, but the effect is more pronounced with the SuperPhat algorithm at the cost of more instructions. This image shows the [[resources/tools-software/sigmastudio/toolbox/io/input|Inputs]], stereo [[resources/tools-software/sigmastudio/toolbox/multiplexersdemultiplexers/stereoswitchnx2|mux]], and [[resources/tools-software/sigmastudio/toolbox/io/output|outputs]], along with the two methods for stereo spatialization offered in the SigmaStudio library.\\
