FACTORY PRESETS
M - Big Voice
A great preset reminiscent of that classic “boss jock” sound. Fairly balanced overall, with a bit of added drive in all
3 bands (1.6 dB) and thresholds set for substantially more action in the high and midrange bands. “Sound Impact
System” is enabled in this preset to add that extra little bit of punch. The attack and release times are fairly moder-
ate, and the output from the 3 bands is set to give a nice boost in the high and low end. Low and high frequencies are
set to 90 Hz and 2.11 kHz.
F - Structured tone
This is a good starting point for female voices. Low and high band frequencies are set to 80 Hz and 1.3 kHz. The
compressor ratio in the multiband section across all 3 bands is slightly less aggressive. Both “Fidelity” and “Sound
Impact System” are enabled with quite a bit of activity in the mid and high bands of the Sound Impact System
section. The high band has a considerable boost in drive (4.8 dB) with slightly less of a drive increase in the mid
and low bands (1.2 dB). The attack time across all three bands is relatively fast but release times have been slowed,
with the slowest release in the high and mid bands. The final output from the multiband section has a slight boost
in the high band, a 2 dB cut in the mid band, and a 3.4 dB boost on the low band. Finally, the brick wall limiter has
an added 1.4 dB of drive to maintain loudness.
F - Hit tone
Similar to “F - Structured tone” with a more aggressive ratio, “Sound Impact System” set for equal activity across all
3 bands, an equal 1.2 dB boost in drive to all 3 bands, and a slightly lower threshold for the high band. This preset
also features less of a cut in the mid band (-0.8 dB instead of -2 dB). Attack and release times, as well as the final
limiter settings are identical to “F - Structured Tone”. The end result should be a bit more of a high and midrange
presence than “F - Structured Tone”, though leaning less on activity in the high band due to the reduced drive.
F - High Mid
True to its name, this preset accentuates the high mid frequencies of the female voice. The low frequency is
centered at 200 Hz, with the high frequency at 1.3 kHz. The ratio is fairly aggressive compared to the other presets.
“Sound Impact System” is enabled and set equally to 4.4 dB across all 3 bands. The drive across all 3 bands is sub-
stantially increased to 7.2 dB with lowered thresholds in the high and mid bands. Attack and release times are both
fairly slow, with the exception of a much faster release in the high band, along with a considerable (5.2 dB) boost
in that band’s output. In the final brick wall limiter section, the drive has been reduced by 1.4 dB to compensate for
the increased high band output from the multiband section and keep things from getting too harsh.
BY-PASS
This setting will bypass all processing on a channel. It is the only available option when a channel is not licensed for
processing.
