MC-12

Mode Adjust

TREB CUT RT

500Hz to 20kHz

Sets the frequency above which high frequencies are rolled off in the reverberated signal, causing reverberated signals to grow progressively darker. This results in a more natural sound because it simulates the effect of air absorption in a real hall. Setting this parameter to a low frequency dampens the audio as it recirculates,

and consequently can actually shorten the reverb time. Available in all LIVE! modes.

VOCAL ENHANCE

+6.0dB, +3.0dB, +0.0dB

Controls the level of dialog boost in the audio output connector labeled Center. Increase this setting to improve dialog intelligibility, particularly at lower volume levels. Available in all Logic 7 modes.
