This control got its names from the effect it has on hi-hats
coming thru the overheads. With Diffuse engaged, the cymbals
take on a softer, more spread quality as the shelf keeps on lifting
all the way up past what we can hear. But when you switch to
Tight, the hats come more into focus as the emphasis shifts
away from the air and more towards the presence. They
actually sound tighter.
The center position on this switch, labeled Out, is a killswitch
for the entire Focus Engine. It allows you to essentially ‘mute’
the eq’d signal from the internal mix buss.
