DE-ESSER
8
This is a compressor specialized for high frequencies. Use it to
reduce vocal "s" sounds and other harsh high-frequency noises.
FREQUENCY knob
Sets the lowest frequency that causes the de-esser to
function.
Range: 1 kHz–4 kHz (default: 1.15 kHz)
DEPTH knob
Sets the amount of compression.
The higher the value the greater the compression (and
de-essing effect).
Range: 1–100 (default: 25)
EXCITER
8
This effect emphasizes high-frequency harmonics to add clarity
and sparkle while maintaining the original sound.
FREQUENCY knob
Sets the frequency above which harmonics are empha-
sized.
Range: 1 kHz–4 kHz (default: 2.00 kHz)
DEPTH knob
Sets the amount that harmonics are emphasized.
The higher the value, the more they are emphasized.
Range: 1–100 (default: 75)
5 – Mixer Panel Settings
EQUALIZER (3-band parametric EQ)
8
Use this to increase or decrease the levels of specific frequency
ranges. This can be used, for example, to enhance the sound
of individual instruments, to adjust the balance of a wide
frequency range and to cut specific unwanted frequencies.
The frequency response at the current settings is shown as a
graph even when the equalizer is off.
The equalizer has a high-shelf HIGH band, a low-shelf LOW band
and a peaking (bell-shaped) MID band.
LOW GAIN knob
Sets the amount the level is increased or decreased for
the LOW band.
Range: ±12 dB (default: 0 dB)
LOW FREQ knob
Sets the cutoff frequency of the LOW band.
Range: 32 Hz–1.6 kHz (default: 100 Hz)
MID GAIN knob
Sets the amount the level is increased or decreased for
the MID band.
Range: ±12 dB (default: 0 dB)
MID FREQ knob
Sets the cutoff frequency of the MID band.
Range: 32 Hz–18 kHz (default: 1.0 kHz)
MID Q knob
Sets the acuteness of the peak of the MID BAND.
The higher the value the more acute it becomes, making
it affect a narrower frequency band.
The lower the value, the less acute it becomes, making it
affect a broader frequency band.
Range: 0.25–16 (default: 0.5)
HIGH GAIN knob
Sets the amount the level is increased or decreased for
the HIGH band.
Range: ±12 dB (default: 0 dB)
HIGH FREQ knob
Sets the cutoff frequency of the HIGH band.
Range: 1.7 kHz–18 kHz (default: 10 kHz)
