Blue Cat's Widening Triple EQ is the "Widening" (Mid/Side) version of the Triple EQ equalizer: was designed to be a Mid/Side three bands real time semi-parametric equalizer.
It lets you adjust the low, mid and high gains of the Mid (Mono) and Side (Stereo) components of your audio signal: manage the wideness of your stereo signal for any frequency! Since you can choose where to place the center of the stereo field, you can virtually adjust the spectrum of your sound anywhere in the stereo field.
You can get instant visual feedback of your settings thanks to the included graphs. The frequency response can be displayed on a single graph or on separate graphs for each channel, depending on the skin you choose (see the screenshots below). If you want to customize your user interface, it is possible thanks to Blue Cat's Skinning Language which is available for free.
The included skins provide an "auto-gain" functionality to keep the plug-in's maximum gain at 0 dB. The Mid and Side channels can be linked together and even mirrored for easier balance of frequencies.
