Using input dynamics effects
This unit has three dynamics effects: a compressor, an
exciter and a de-esser. One can be used at a time with
INPUT A and/or B.
COMPRESSOR
This effect compresses the sound, reducing the
dynamic range.
EXCITER
By emphasizing the harmonics of high frequencies,
this effect gives a sense of liveliness to the sound and
makes tones more distinct without upsetting the
volume balance.
DE-ESSER
This effect suppresses sibilant “s” sounds.
