Mic Speech Input Presets
Handheld Mic Preset
Designed to
support a broad range of handheld mics used for any purpose, including singing and speaking. Some
adjustments may be needed to fine-tune for a specific installation.
Processing Chain by Plugins:
•
NS1
provides noise suppression to substantially reduce background noise without affecting the vocal audio
source from the mic.
•
MV2
helps improve the level of vocal audio and keeps the audio consistent.
•
Q10
provides the front-end EQ to reduce low frequencies (typically troublesome with handheld mics) and
lower/eliminate “pops” in the voice processing.
•
Sibilance Live
greatly reduces the “S” and “Sh” sounds that occur in speech, which can be overemphasized
when amplified. This plugin process is very transparent and maintains the natural timbre and resonance of the
speaker’s voice.
Headworn Omni Mic Preset
Designed to
support common head-worn omnidirectional mics, as used by an individual speaker (e.g., a main
presenter, pastor, master of ceremonies). Some adjustments may be needed to fine-tune for a specific installation.
Processing Chain by Plugins:
•
X-FDBK
provides real-time feedback suppression. It identifies the precise frequencies that cause feedback
and surgically cuts them, dramatically shortening the setup time required.
