5.11 De-esser 

CS-5501 provides 2 independent de-esser modules. Deeser is a kind of 
dynamic EQ. It compresses/expands the signal in a defined frequency 
range depending on the input/side-chain signal. 
The design is based on TBProAudio’s dEQ6. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

5.11.1 

Effect module selector 

Select effect module from drop-down menu 
 
 

5.11.2 

Off/On 

Enables the module. 
 

5.11.3 

Parameter link 

Links parameter of de-esser 1 and 2. 
 

5.11.4 

Solo 

Solos the module. Shift mouse click resets solo states of all modules. 
 

5.11.5 

Stereo placement 

The stereo placement of the effect can be changed to stereo/left/right/mid/side. 
 
 

5.11.6 

Side chain options 

5.11.6.1

 

Internal/External 

Selects either internal or external side chain. VST2 uses channel 3+4 as ext. side 
chain. For VST3/AU/AAX/RTAS please consult your DAW manual. 

5.11.6.2

 

Monitor 

Lets you monitor the side chain signal
