Spectralive uses a considerably different method to achieve its sonically correct, phase-accurate and fresh sound when compared with other products such as enharmonic exciters, enhancers and analog tube simulators. Spectralive does not add any artificial harmonics or overtone content thereby eliminating the inherent hiss introduced by other exciter and enhancer type effects.

Crysonic describe the effect of Spectralive with words such as Vitality, Warmth, Better stereo coherence, Less phase distortion, reduction of frequency masking, extra sparkle, more presence, greatly improved spectral definition and less Harmonic distortion.
