    Introduction ® Congratulations on your purchase of the Rocktron HUSH Super C! Designed for guitar applications, the Super C utilizes the latest in our HUSH noise reduction technology combined with the latest V.I.R. (Variable Integrated Release) circuitry configured as a noise gate. This combination provides extremely effective noise reduction while playing and complete silence when not.

    Operation When used properly, the HUSH Super C should be completely transparent (i.e., it should not effect the guitar signal—only the noise). To maximize the performance of the Super C, it is necessary to understand its front panel controls and how they work together.
  • Page 13 This means that if a signal is present at the input which consists of primarily bass components, the dynamic filter will reduce mid or high band noise. If no mid or high band information is present, the filter will close down to a pre-set cut-off point of 1kHz (allowing only frequencies of 1kHz and below to pass).
  • Page 14: Gate Section

    The front panel HUSH Threshold control determines the minimum input level at which the HUSH filter and downward expander will begin to operate. Setting this control too high will result in a loss of sustain, as notes will tend to die out much faster than they should. Conversely, when set too low, the expander will close too late (if at all) and the noise floor will remain audible Gate Section The other half of the Super C consists of a noise gate.
