CHAPTER 42
Precision Enhancer kHz
Overview
The Precision Enhancer kHz is a sophisticated tool with a simple control set,
primarily designed to bring dull or poorly recorded tracks to life. However,
with five distinct Enhancement “Modes”, the Precision Enhancer kHz will find
uses on virtually any source. It can be used to minimally massage the middle
and upper frequencies of a mix, or drastically alter the presence or dynamics
of individual tracks or groups; Unlike other enhancers that function by fre-
quency delay or filtered clipping, the Precision Enhancer kHz works on spe-
cialized techniques of equalization and dynamic expansion that can be used
as a highly versatile effect.
The five Modes (A, B, C, D and the shift-clickable “All”) present various con-
trol configurations to support the widest array of source material. With Modes
A and B, the filtered audio is mixed in with the dry signal according to the Ef-
fect control. For Modes C, D and All, audio is passed through a unique up-
wards expander where the expanded audio is then filtered before being
mixed with the dry signal. For these modes, Effect is used as a fader on the
way into the expander. The release can be adjusted to either Fast or Slow via
the Speed button, giving a greater range of dynamic/frequency enhance-
ment. For Mode C, the sweepable filter applied to the expander's output is
identical to the filter used with Mode A. For Mode D and All, the expander's
output is passed to a set of filters in parallel. Finally, the Precision Enhancer
kHz includes control over the final Output level metering to compensate for
gain changes created by the effect.
