7
High-pass filter
Cuts off unneeded low-band audio. The cutoff frequency is 80 Hz.
7
Noise gate
Eliminates audio that is lower than the specified threshold level.
This is effective when the noise that you want to remove is separate
from the audio that you want to keep, and can be used to remove
hiss or other noise that is heard during periods of silence.
7
De-esser
Reduces sibilant noise (the sounds you hear when pronouncing “s”
words and other hissing sounds).
7
Compressor
Audio that exceeds the specified threshold level is compressed.
This reduces the difference between the maximum volume and
minimum volume, making the audio more comfortable for listening.
7
Equalizer
This is a three-band equalizer. It lets you adjust the volume by
boosting or cutting three frequency regions.
7
Reverb
Adds reverberation to the sound.
Using an Effect Preset
This unit is equipped with effects that are adjusted for specific
environments. These are called “effect presets.”
Simply by selecting an effect preset, you can easily apply an effect
that’s appropriate for your situation.
MEMO
5
Effect presets are combinations of effects besides reverb. To
fine-tune the preset settings, edit the settings for each effect.
For details on the effects, refer to “8: AUDIO INPUT” (p. 50).
5
You cannot overwrite the effect presets. Use the preset
memories to save the settings for presets you’ve edited (p. 38).
5
When you load an effect preset, each preset setting (except for
reverb) is restored to its default setting (factory defaults).
