Rotate the THRESHOLD control anticlockwise until the BELOW THRESHOLD
meter is fully illuminated and an appropriate amount of gain reduction is indicated
on the GAIN REDUCTION meter. The FREQ control and THRESHOLD control can
now be fine tuned to achieve the desired effect whilst listening to the program.
Gain compensation will not normally be required when de-essing. Although fast
attack and release times are most appropriate, they should be adjusted to achieve
the best results. The 'auto' position should
NOT
be used.
To aid the correct setting of the FREQ control in relation to the audible sibilance,
the source program can be listened to through the internal de-ess filter by
depressing the MON S.C. switch. This replaces the normal signal at the output
connector with the output of the de-ess filter.
The peak limiter can be used simultaneously with wide band de-essing, should it
be required.
