POWER
A IN / BYPASS - This switch in BYPASS mode bypasses the DE-ESS section while the Input
transformer, Re-esss circuit and amplifier remains in circuit.
B THRESHOLD - This continuously variable control adjusts the onset of the de-essing.
Clockwise provides a lower threshold and more de-essing
C MONITOR OUTPUT - This switch only affects the 1/4" output jack. In the SIDECHAIN
position the output is fed directly from the sidechain filters allowing the operator to accurately
"tune" to the offending frequency. In NORMAL the 1/4" jack is fed the main output.
D HI-MID - This control tunes a Bandpass filter from 5kHz to 9 kHz.
E SIBILANCE LED - used for indicating when audible de-essing is occurring. This is an
alternative or adjunct to the meter in many situations.
F SELECT - This switch is used to select either the HI-MID Bandpass filter or the HIGH Hi-
Pass filter for optimum de-essing.
G HIGH - This control tunes a Hi-Pass filter from 7kHz to 16 kHz.
H RE-ESS - This control is similar to a 12kHz cut and boost equalizer. The response has been
tailored to introduce "air" and return some high frequency content after de-essing.
I METER - This shows the cut-off frequency of the sliding filter used for de-essing.
J LED - Illuminates when the power is on.
K POWER ON / OFF - This switch engages UP turns the power ON; engaged DOWN
switches the power OFF.
