Overview Introduction The 520 is a 500 series compliant de-esser that utilizes the same circuit used in the industry-standard dbx 902. It can be used for naturally and transparently controlling excessive high-frequency energy in vocals, acoustic guitars, and other audio sources. The 520’s unique features make it possible to achieve the exact amount of de-essing desired regardless of variations in signal levels.
Installation FOR 500 SERIES CHASSIS MOUNT USE ONLY! To install the 520 into a 500 series chassis: Turn off the power to the 500 series chassis. Unpack the module and ensure the rear connector is free of debris. Align and slide the module into the 500 series chassis, ensuring the connectors on the back properly seat with the connectors in the chassis.
The User Interface 1. GAIN REDUCTION Meter This LED meter shows the amount of gain reduction applied by de-essing and can display up to 20dB of gain reduction. 2. FREQUENCY Control Selects the frequency at which the 520 splits the audio signal into high and low frequency portions for evaluation.
