optimized by Orban’s audio processing experts on the basis of years of experience
designing audio processing and upon hundred of hours of listening tests.
The
L
ESS
-M
ORE
control has a different effect in the “radio” presets than it does in
the “sound-for-picture” presets. In the “radio” presets, the air sound will become
louder as you go from less to more, but (as with any processor) processing artifacts
will increase. In the “sound-for-picture” presets (except for those few based on “ra-
dio” presets), the
L
ESS
-M
ORE
control sets the average amount of dynamic range
control provided by the processing. As you go from less to more, the loudness of
loud sounds will stay about the same but the loudness of quieter sounds will in-
crease. Because of the 6300’s sophisticated gating circuits, very quiet material like
background sounds, quiet underscoring, hiss, and hum will not be pumped up.
Please note that, in the “radio” presets, the highest
L
ESS
-M
ORE
setting is purposely
designed to cause unpleasant distortion and processing artifacts! This helps assure
you that you have chosen the optimum setting of the
L
ESS
-M
ORE
control, because
turning the control up to this point will cause the sound quality to become obviously
unacceptable.
You need not (in fact, cannot) create a sound entirely from scratch. All User Presets
are created by modifying Factory Presets, or by further modifying Factory Presets
that have been previously modified with a
L
ESS
-M
ORE
adjustment. It is wise to set
the
L
ESS
-M
ORE
control to achieve a sound as close as possible to your desired sound
before you make further modifications at the Advanced Modify level. This is because
the
L
ESS
-M
ORE
control gets you close to an optimum trade-off between loudness
and artifacts, so any changes you make are likely to be smaller and to require reset-
ting fewer controls.
In the 6300,
L
ESS
-M
ORE
affects only the dynamics processing (compression, limiting,
and clipping). Unlike some of Orban’s older digital processors, the 6300’s equaliza-
tion and stereo enhancement are decoupled from
L
ESS
-M
ORE
. You can therefore
change EQ or stereo enhancement and not lose the ability to use
L
ESS
-M
ORE
. When
you create a user preset, the 6300 will automatically save your EQ and stereo en-
hancement settings along with your
L
ESS
-M
ORE
setting. When you recall the user
preset, you will still be able to edit your
L
ESS
-M
ORE
setting if you wish.
Full Modify
Full Modify is the most detailed control level available from the 6300’s front panel. It
allows you to adjust the dynamics section at approximately the level of “full con-
trol” available in Orban’s 6200 processor. Because of improvements in the 6300’s sig-
nal processing by comparison to the 6200, these controls are not extremely danger-
ous (although you can still get into trouble if you try hard enough). Most people will
never have any reason to go beyond Full Modify.
Note:
Full Modify does not provide
L
ESS
-M
ORE
control. Furthermore,
once you have edited a preset’s dynamics parameters in Full Modify,
L
ESS
-M
ORE
control is no longer available in Basic Modify and will be
grayed-out if you access its screen. As noted above, we recommend using
the Basic Modify
L
ESS
-M
ORE
control to achieve a sound as close as possi-
