OPTIMOD-FM DIGITAL
OPERATION
3-39
allows bass transients (like kick drums) to make square waves. The peak
level of the fundamental component of a square wave is 2.1 dB
higher
than the peak level of the flat top in the square wave. Therefore, this al-
lows you to get low bass that is actually higher than 100% modulation—
the harmonics produced by the clipping work to hold down the peak lev-
el.
The square waves produced by this clipper are filtered through a 6
dB/octave lowpass filter that is down 3 dB at 400 Hz. This greatly reduces
the audibility of the higher clipper-generated harmonics. Nevertheless,
the downside is that material with sustained bass (including speech) will
sound substantially less clean than it will with the Medium or Soft set-
tings.
Note that the
H
ARD
C
LIP
S
HAPE
control determines how squared-off the
clipped bass waveforms become. (See
•
LLH
ARD
differs in two ways from the normal
H
ARD
mode of the bass clipper:
•
LLH
ARD
automatically defeats the compressor lookahead. This action
is functionally equivalent to setting the
L
OOKAHEAD
control to
O
UT
,
except that it reduces input/output delay by 5 ms).
•
LLH
ARD
prevents the bass clipper from switching to
M
EDIUM
mode
whenever speech is detected. By constraining the system in these
ways, it ensures that the delay is always 13 ms.
To minimize speech distortion, the speech/music detector automatically
switches the bass clipper to
M
EDIUM
when speech is detected, provided
that the Five-Band structure is active,
L
ATENCY
is
H
IGH
, and the
B
ASS
C
LIP
M
ODE
is set to
H
ARD
. (See “Lookahead” on page 3-63 for more about the
speech/music detector.) If the bass clipper is set to
LLH
ARD
, the
speech/music detector will reset the clipper threshold to the setting speci-
fied by the
S
PEECH
BCT
HR
control. The default setting is “0 dB,” which re-
sults in very little bass clipper action during speech. This prevents audible
speech distortion that this clipper might otherwise introduce.
Switching the
B
ASS
C
LIP
M
ODE
to
LLH
ARD
(from any other mode) removes
five milliseconds of delay from the signal path. Switching can cause audi-
ble clicks, pops, or thumps (due to waveform discontinuity) if it occurs
during program material. If you have some presets with
LLH
ARD
bass clip-
per mode and some without, switching between these presets is likely to
cause clicks unless you do it during silence. However, these clicks will nev-
er cause modulation to exceed 100%.
One of the essential differences between the
H
ARD
and
LLH
ARD
bass clip-
per modes is that switching between Hard and Med does not change de-
lay and is therefore less likely to cause audible clicks.
The
H
ARD
C
LIP
S
HAPE
control (in Advanced Control) offers further control
over the sound of the
H
ARD
and
LLH
ARD
modes. See page 3-41.
•
M
EDIUM
uses more sophisticated signal processing than
H
ARD
to reduce distortion
substantially.
