Voice-Optimized Eq; Opto De-Esser And Master Section - Behringer Ultra-Voice VX2000 User Manual

2.4 Voice-optimized EQ

The Voice-Optimized EQ is a 3-band equalizer for creative sound shaping. You can raise or lower the
level of specific frequency ranges to make up for tonal deficiencies of the input signal.
Use the IN/OUT switch to activate the voice-optimized EQ.
28
The TUNING control selects a specific frequency range (130 Hz through 720 Hz).
29
The WARMTH control allows you to raise or lower the level of the frequency range selected. In level
30
reduction mode the bandwidth is narrower than in level boost mode, i.e. you can adapt the filter setting
specifically to the application concerned.
Use the PRESENCE control to give the signal more high and upper midrange brilliance (around 1700 Hz),
31
so as to bring vocals more to the front and give them more presence in the overall sound image.
The BREATH control allows you to raise or lower the treble range, for example, to boost or cut
32
vocal-specific frequencies (e.g. “breathing noise”). The frequency range processed is around 8 kHz.
The ABSENCE switch lowers those frequencies around 4 kHz that are responsible for a harsh and
33
“nasty” sound.
