User Manual

Low Threshold: -60 to -30dB

The Low Threshold sets a lower limit to the AGC. This prevents the AGC from adding gain to low
level signals or noise.

Attack: 0.20 to 5 Seconds

This adjusts how fast the AGC will increase gain.


Release: 30.0 to 1 dB/Second

This adjusts how fast the AGC will reduce gain.

3.5 - De-Esser

The 220i offers a dedicated De-Esser module. This De-esser effect is ideal for removing unwanted vocal
sibilance.. These parameters are user adjustable on all programs and are as follows:

De-Esser On/Off

Turns the De-Esser on or off.

Freq. 800 Hz to 8.00 kHz

This is the center frequency the De-Esser uses when in Band Pass mode or the corner frequency used
when in High Pass mode.

Amount 0 to 100%

This controls the amount of De-Essing. The amount control is very much like a combination threshold/
ratio control. A higher amount applies more De-Essing to the signal.

Type HP or BP

Selects the type of filter used by the De-Esser.

Width

Sets the Q of the Band Pass Filter.
