-- To obtain less bass ( retaining original program material balance)
1.
Operate the BASS COUPLING control towards " 10" (wideband).
-- To make " Air" sound most like " Program"
1.
Operate
with
the BASS
COUPLING
close
to " 10". ( Adjust
the
control
to
make
the BASS
and COMPRESSION
G/R
meters track as
closely
as
possible.)
2.
Operate with the RELEASE TIME at " 8" in LINear mode. ( This may cause
gain- riding to be too slow.)
3.
Use approximately 10dB of gain reduction (" 0" on the TOTAL MASTER G/R
meter) by adjusting the INPUT ATTENUATOR as necessary.
4.
Minimize the amount of clipping and HF limiting by operating HF LIMITING
at " 10" ( full hard), and backing off the CLIPPING as far as required to avoid
audible distortion on difficult material like male voice or piano.
-- To obtain " open" sound with no audible compression
1.
Operate the RELEASE TIME control at " 8".
2.
Do not pre- compress program material in production.
-- To obtain a " heavily- processed" sound
1.
Operate
the
RELEASE
TIME
control
at " 0"
and
the
BASS
COUPLING
control
at " 0". ( You
may have
to back off
the CLIPPING
and HF
LIMITING
controls to avoid objectionable distortion. Operator gain riding will also become
more critical.)
-- To avoid " noise pump- up"
1.
Operate with 10dB of gain reduction (" 0" on the meter) with normal levels
out of the console or switcher.
2.
Adjust the GATE THRESHOLD more clockwise.
3.
Use slower RELEASE TIME.
-- To achieve more subtle gain riding in wide- dynamic range material
1.
Critically adjust the GATE THRESHOLD control
so that
medium-
to low-
level passages cause the GATE lamp to flash on and off, thus slowing down the
release time as the program gets softer.
-- To avoid excessive sibilance ( particularly on women's voices)
1.
Use
an Orban
Dynamic
Sibilance Controller
on
speech
inputs
only. ( While
OPTIlvIOD-TV
will
not
distort
sibilance,
its
excellent
high
frequency
power
handling capability will result in its passing high-energy sibilance present at its
input instead of limiting it.)
