Input and Output Sections
“Meters” – The input and output meters indicate 1dB per segment for the top 18dB of dynamics
range, and 2dB per segment thereafter.
“Trim” – The input trim has a range of +12dB to -12dB. The output trim has a range of 0.0dB to
-12dB
“Listen Audio” – Selects auditioning of the cleaned audio signal.
“Listen Diff” – Selects auditioning of what is being removed from the audio signal.
“Warmth” – Can quickly add warmth into the signal if desired.
“Master Enable” – With Master Enable selected, all processing is active. If not selected, all
repairs are disabled, although all the detection circuits remain active.
The Master Enable, Audio and Diff buttons all provide smoothly interpolated and glitchless
audio switching. It is advisable to use these for auditioning, rather than using the host
application’s Bypass switch (which is commonly not interpolated).
DeHisser Section
“Cutoff” – This control can have any value from 3kHz to 15kHz. Hiss removal is performed on
the HF side of this setting.
“Reduction” – This sets how many dBs of hiss reduction will be applied.
“Enable” – If Master Enable is also IN, this makes the DeHisser active using glitchless
switching.
DeNoiser Detect Section
“Thresh” – This is the most critical control to get right. It sets the level of the threshold about
which noise reduction takes place. Frequency components below the threshold get attenuated,
whereas components above the threshold are left alone.
“Smooth” - Adjusts the peakiness of the noise profile.
