Psycho-Acoustic Effects - Behringer VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P User Manual

VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P
ULTRAMIZER: The ultramizer function divides the sound spectrum into two frequency bands and, as a result,
allows inaudible but extremely effective compression. This is especially helpful during mix-down. The DSP2024P
analyses the received audio material and automatically adjusts input gain and compression parameters.
DENOISER: The DENOISER is used to eliminate or reduce noise and other interference.
DE-ESSER: A problem often encountered in recording situations, is the sibilant (Ssss) sound of the human
voice. The de-esser is used to remove strong hissing sounds from the audio signal.
WAVE DESIGNER: Using this effect, you can influence the envelope of a signal by specifying its volume.
A (= Attack) indicates the time a tone needs to reach its full volume. R (= Release) determines how long it
takes before a tone dies away.

2.5 Psycho-acoustic effects

EXCITER: An exciter works with psycho-acoustic principles to add artificially generated overtones to the
original signal, thereby increasing its presence and loudness (the subjective volume impression) without any
significant increase of the signal level.
ENHANCER: The enhancer works like a dynamic pitch equalizer. Its effectiveness depends on the associated
high frequencies and the intensity of the input signal.
