2. FUNCTION DESCRIPTION FUNCTION DESCRIPTION The digital dynamics processor b42 is a professional studio device that processes the dynamic range of digital audio BASIC signals. DESCRIPTION The dynamic range processor principles developed by Jünger Audio enable compressors, limiters and expanders to be...
The de-esser of the b42 uses a sophisticated dynamic filtering algorithm for the reduction of S-frequencies. The dynamic filter makes it possible to reduce these frequencies without influencing other spectral parts, and works independent of the signal level.
2. FUNCTION DESCRIPTION fig.3: frequency basic function: de-esser auto threshold function S-reduction range 0...-20 filter frequency Input 1..14kHz incl. level male/female [dBFS] 2.3.4 The compression of the programme signal takes place evenly over the entire input level range and not only at the upper end above a COMPRESSOR certain threshold level.
(e.g. live atmos, air-conditioning, hum and noise). 2.3.5 The static characteristics of the b42 usually refers to a digital output level of 0 dBFS (dB Full Scale). This is useful for most applications of LIMITER the dynamics processor as the on-following digital recording system is supposed to be balanced down to the final bit.
2. FUNCTION DESCRIPTION each kind of programme material. The algorithm has to guarantee best reaction for fast increasing level of transient signals anytime even if classical music with slow dying out characteristic is processed. In all cases the attack time of the limiter for very short transients is zero. Especially the release time of the control circuit has more influence to the increase of loudness as any other parameter.
2. FUNCTION DESCRIPTION The Multi-loop structure also permits a short time delay between the control circuit and the gain changing element. The gain control circuit has time to preview the signal and become active before it reaches the output. This is particularly important for the limiter, which provides a precisely leveled output signal absolutely free of overshoots (clipping).
2. FUNCTION DESCRIPTION 2.4.2 The audio signal delay through the dynamics processor is approx. 2ms due to delaying of the audio signal using internal memory. A INFLUENCE OF small delay is deliberately introduced to the audio signal in order to SIGNAL DELAY allow limiter and compressor algorithms which 'preview' the...
Please examine carefully the packaging and its contents for any signs of physical damage, which may have occured in transit. The digital dynamics processor b42 is a device under the safety POWER SUPPLY category Schutzklasse 1 in keeping with the VDE 0804 standards and may only used with power supply installations built according to regulations.
3. INSTALLATION The digital dynamics processor b42 has a digital signal output only. To the problem-free combination of following digital devices, SYNCHRONIZATION the digital signal processing can be locked to an external clock reference. The selection of the corresponding input is made in DIGITAL OUTPUT the SYNC MODE menu.
