Features and Facilities
1.1 Features and
Facilities
The DPR-901ii is a four band parametric equaliser which varies the
degree of equalisation dynamically, as the program level changes. The
process can be thought of as frequency selective compression and/or
expansion, but it is fundamentally different to simple ‘frequency-con-
scious’ dynamics processing as used for noise gating, de-essing and the
like. It is also very different to the growing family of ‘sliding filter’ tech-
niques used in single-ended noise reduction processors. A split facility
allows the unit to be used as two separate two band units, and a side
chain listen button allows monitoring of the filter setup.
Frequency selective compression is equivalent to applying CUT on a
normal equaliser while frequency selective expansion is like applying
BOOST. However, the DPR-901ii can be more subtle as the process is
dynamic: it will only occur above (or below) the threshold you have set.
Some possible uses for the DPR-901ii technology can be:
! !
! !
!
To selectively compress and/or expand, broad or narrow-band seg-
ments of program.
! ! ! ! !
To de-ess and de-pop.
! !
! !
!
To add dynamic loudness control (eg. bass boost at low SPLs).
! !
! ! !
To control SPL in a dynamic and frequency conscious manner.
! ! ! ! !
To enhance or ‘sweeten’ mixed programme.
! ! ! ! !
To improve voice intelligibility (without risking howlround or feed-
back).
! ! ! ! !
To enhance low level vocals.
! ! ! ! !
To correct for and/or guard against, bad microphone technique (by
unskilled performers).
And in common with other units in BSS Audio’s processor range, the
DPR-901ii features:
! ! ! ! !
Friendly rotary control knobs for all parameter adjustments.
! !
! !
!
Excellent low level resolution to maintain subtle musical detail.
! ! ! ! !
Minimum phase and low group delay for any EQ setting.
! ! ! ! !
High headroom >+ 20dBu.
! !
! !
!
Conservative drive capability into low impedances (down to 600
ohms) and long, highly capacitive cables.
! ! ! ! !
Automatic relay controlled signal bypass if mains power is discon-
nected or fails.
Altogether, the DPR-901ii will not degrade a conventional high quality
analogue signal processing chain, even when two units are inserted in
line with the composite stereo mix.
