Auto dehiss: Reducing broadband noise

Process Mode

Auto dehiss offers four combinations of processing modes:

■

Noise detection mode may be either Auto or Manual

In auto mode, the Duo processor automatically determines the noise level contained within the

signal, whereas in manual mode the noise level is set by the user.

■

Channel mode may be either Left/Right or Mid & Side

Left/Right mode processes the left and right channels of a stereo signal in the conventional

manner. Mid & Side mode surrounds the process in a mid/side encoder and decoder. This

allows you to process the signal in Mid & Side format whilst retaining conventional Left/Right

stereo at the input and output.

Switching between Modes

You may switch between modes using the front panel buttons as follows:

■

Auto <-> Manual

Toggle between AUTO and MANUAL modes by pressing and holding the AUTO-OFF / MANL-OFF

button for three seconds or more. This operation is also available in the MENU/PROCESS MODE

screen.

■

Left/Right <–> Mid & Side

Toggle between Left/Right and Mid & Side modes by pressing and holding the L-R / M-S button

for three seconds or more. This operation is also available in the MENU/PROCESS MODE screen.

Process Mode screen

You may also select the modes using the Process Mode screen selectable from the Main menu.

■

Auto-Manl

Toggle this to select between Auto and Manual modes.

■

L/R – M/S

Toggle this to select between Left/Right and Mid & Side modes.
