Rear Panel - Behringer Ultra-Voice VX2000 User Manual

Vocal tracks are often affected by unwanted sibilant sounds. The opto de-esser allows you to easily
remove interference of that kind.
Press the IN/OUT switch to activate the opto de-esser.
34
The THRESHOLD control determines the amount of suppression applied to sibilant sounds. The lower
35
this value, the more sibilance is removed.
Use the CUT FREQ control to select the frequency range to be removed from the overall sound image.
36
The ACTIVE LED shows you that the opto de-esser is on. The more processing is applied to the signal,
37
the brighter the LED lights up.
+
When using the opto de-esser, don’t choose too low a threshold, so as to avoid affecting the
original sound character of the program material. You have found the best setting for this
parameter, when the difference to the unprocessed signal can be heard only by way of a
direct A/B comparison with the IN/OUT switch.
The MASTER FADER adapts the output signal to meet the input sensitivity of downstream devices
38
(e.g. DAT or hard-disk recorder).
+
When you adjust the signal levels, you should start with the lowest level possible and raise it
slowly until the levels have been adapted properly. If you start with too high a level, you risk
damaging the input stages of downstream devices!
The six OUTPUT LEVEL LED’s read the output level from -10 through +15 dB.
39
Use the POWER switch to switch the ULTRA-VOICE on and off.
