OPERATION
ORBAN MODEL 8382
2B Master Attack
sets the attack time of the Two-Band Compressor master com-
pressor (above 200Hz).
2B Bass Attack
sets the attack time of the Two-Band Compressor bass compressor
(below 200Hz).
2B Crossover
sets the structure of the two-band crossover to Allpass or Linear. See
AGC
C
ROSSOVER
on page 3-28 for more detail about these modes.
2B High Frequency Clip Threshold
sets the threshold of the multiband, distortion-
cancelled clipper in the Two-Band structure’s high frequency limiter. Higher numbers
yield more brightness, but also cause more high frequency distortion.

, and this control is complicated and is best appreciated by listen-
ing and experimenting:
2B 6-15 kHz HF Limiter
sets the amount of additional gain reduction occurring in
6-15 kHz band of the 2-band high frequency limiter. This extra gain reduction is
triggered whenever high frequency energy would otherwise cause excessive distor-
tion in the final clipper. The algorithm uses an analysis of the activity in the final
clipper to make this determination.
Functionally, this control is a mix control that adds a HF limiter gain reduction signal
to higher of the two bands of the 2-band high frequency limiter. Higher settings
produce more extra HF limiting in this band. The control therefore allows you to
trade off reduced high frequency distortion against HF loss.

MB Limit Speech Threshold
lets you set the increment (in dB) by which the setting

control is reduced when speech is detected. This control allows
the main clipping distortion controller to work harder on speech while preserving
punch in music.
Speech is detected if (1) the input is mono, and (2) there are syllabic
pauses at least once every 1.5 seconds. Speech with a stereo music back-
ground will usually be detected as “music,” or the detector may switch
back and forth randomly if the stereo content is right at the stereo /
mono detector’s threshold. Mono music with a “speech-like” envelope
may be incorrectly detected as “speech.” Music incorrectly detected as
“speech” will exhibit a slight loss of loudness and punch, but misdetec-
tion will never cause objectionable distortion on music.
Speech that is not located in the center of the stereo sound field will al-
ways be detected as “music” because the detector always identifies ste-
reo material as “music.” This can increase clipping distortion on such
speech.
