Edit/Effect Parameters
GAIN
Range:
-48 to +24 dB
This parameter sets the amount of boost or cut applied to the high shelving filter.
EQ TRIM
Range:
-24 to +0 dB
This parameter allows you to adjust the level of the signal entering the EQ, to eliminate the
possibility of clipping boosted signals.

ROM-46 DE-ESSER
DE-ESSER is a stereo algorithm that compresses sibilant frequencies (like the “ess” sound) as they
become louder. This algorithm was designed for vocalists, but it can also be used to control the
boomy sound of a guitar or the ringing sound of drums by adjusting the side-chain
appropriately.

The parameters available for this algorithm are:
OUTPUT GAIN
Range:
-48 to +48 dB
This parameter sets the amount of cut (negative values) or boost (positive values) applied to the
de-esser on the output volume. We recommend a starting application of +0 dB.
COMP RATIO
Range:
1/1 to 40/1, INF
This parameter sets the amount of compression. The range is based on decibels (dB) above the
threshold. If this is set to 4/1 for example, it will compress changes in signals above the
threshold by one quarter. When this is set to infinity, it acts as a limiter.
THRESHOLD
Range:
-96 to +0 dB
This parameter sets the threshold level. Signals that exceed this level will be compressed, while
signals that are below will be unaffected.
ATTACK TIME
Range:
50µs to 100ms
This parameter determines the attack rate after the initial signal has been detected and before the
compression takes affect.
