DE-ESS Function
The de-esser is a dynamically controlled filter normally used to reduce the sibilance (‘sss’ components) in
a singer’s voice. If the de-esser is active, the signal level will be reduced only in the band set by the filters,
when the signal in this band exceeds the required threshold.
