MX50 OPERATORS’ MANUAL

7

De-Ess Band

Full

Reduces the total signal level in response to signals in the selected

frequency  band.  This  mode  of  operation  produces  less  phase
shifting  of  broadband  material  and  single  vocals  but  is    more
noticeable  then  Split  band  processing.  Applying  excessive  gain
reduction  in  this  mode  can  lead  to  the  vocal  sound  taking  on  a
lisping quality.

Split

Split  band  operation  will  only  reduce  the  selected  frequencies

above  the  value  set  via  the  frequency  control,  which  in  most
situations produces fewer audible side effects during de-essing. 
This  is  particularly  useful  for  reducing  string  noise  on  guitars,
breath noise on flute, or composite material.

Bypass

The Bypass position routes the input signal to the output with no

processing. These switches are independent of any linking and will
only bypass their respective channel.

Linking

Link

Depressing  this  switch  configures  the  unit  for  stereo  operation

where  the  average  left/right  signal  level  is  used  as  the  floating
threshold. The two individual channels must still be set up as in
mono  operation.  Usually  they  will  be  set  the  same,  but  in  some
circumstances, it is permissible to use different settings i.e. when
sibilants are excessive on one channel of a stereo programme.

In linked mode, the red status Link LED will be illuminated.

Setup

Start with the controls set as follows, and adjust as necessary:-

Frequency 

-- Clockwise at 6KHz

De-Ess

-- Anticlockwise

Air

-- Out

Band

-- Full

Bypass

-- Out

Process some sibilant material and increase the De-ess control. You will notice that
frequencies around 8KHz produce reductions in signal level, which can be monitored
using the G.R display.

Adjust the frequency and de-ess controls for optimum results. Use the “Air” and “Split
Band” switches as necessary to get the most transparent results.
