Operating The S•com
USING THE ENHANCER
The S•com’s ENHANCER switch can be engaged to activate the EFR (Enhanced Frequency Recovery) circuit.
By engaging the ENHANCER, the S•com EFR restores the high frequency content that can be lost when high
gain reduction is applied. The S•com EFR achieves this by adding back the high-end of the original signal in an
amount that is equal to the amount of gain reduction.
•
Follow the section above, “SETTING UP THE S•com” for normalizing the controls and run a signal such
as a CD through the S•com plus.
•
Press the CHANNEL IN switch (located in the middle of the
unit) to the IN position.
•
Press in the AUTO switch (located in-between ATTACK and
RELEASE).
•
Adjust the Ratio to 6 - 8:1.
•
Gradually turn up the ENHANCER and listen to how the
high end is restored.
USING THE SPECTRA
The S•com’s SPECTRA is a powerful tool for removing annoying problems like heavy sibilance on vocal tracks
or bright cymbals. To listen to the SPECTRA try the following:
•
Follow the section above, “SETTING UP THE S•com” for nor-
malizing the controls.
•
Press the CHANNEL IN switch (located in the middle of the
unit) to the IN position.
•
Run a signal with extra sibilance through the S•com.
•
To engage the SPECTRA, make sure that the SPECTRA
switch is pressed in.
•
Now listen how S•com’s Spectra reduces the sibilance.
