S-Reduction
The S-Reduction control adjusts the intensity of the S-sound reduction.
In practice, S-Reduction settings between -2 dB and -8 dB achieve the
best results for most applications.
LED display
The S-Reduction LED display visualizes the intensity of the S-sound
reduction between 0 dB and -20 dB in 2 dB steps.
Auto
The Auto switch activates the Auto Dynamic function. This automatically
adjusts the threshold if the input level fluctuates due to varying distance
to the microphone which leads to fluctuating input levels.
With Auto Dynamic function engaged, the de-essing intensity remains
constant at the value you set with the S-Reduction control. This is a great
help not only for inexperienced voice-over artists, but also in live situa-
tions.
Female
The Female switch is used to adapt to the voice characteristics:
When the switch is pressed, the Female mode is selected.
The automatic S-sound detection now reacts more intensively to
higher-frequency S-sounds. The unpressed switch position selects the
Male mode to adapt the S-sound detection to male voice characteristics.
Lower-frequency S-sounds are processed.
In addition, the mid frequency of the S-sound detection is increased from
Male mode to Female mode. For male voices the mid frequency is at about
6 kHz, for female voices at just under 7 kHz.
Nevertheless, you should not necessarily choose the Male position for
male voices and the Female position for females. Always listen to the pitch
and tone of the S-sound and try both positions.
On
The On switch, activates or deactivates the respective channel. This allows
you to quickly switch between processed and unprocessed signal.
To minimize switching noises, switching is performed directly after the
balanced inputs and outputs. This relay hard bypass circuitry also provides
immediate redirection of inputs to outputs in the event of a power fault
on the primary or secondary side of the power supply, or if the device is
powered off.
