Note: Only the signal in the band selected by the FREQ and WIDTH controls are affected by the DSR-1. Signal outside of this range, both above and below in frequency, is unaffected.
FILTER
The FILTER knob controls a high-pass filter ranging from 20Hz to 200Hz. It offers you a quick and convenient way to reduce low-frequency noise. The high-pass filter can be very useful in eliminating unwanted artifacts such as microphone pops.
FREQ and WIDTH
The FREQ and WIDTH pots are used to select the ess range. FREQ, ranging from 1kHz to 20kHz, is the center point of the range. WIDTH ranges from 1 to 100, with 1 being a very narrow band and 100 being very wide. Use your ears to locate a troublesome frequency range by enabling the LISTEN feature to hear a set ess range. Then use the FREQ and WIDTH pots to adjust the range. (See LISTEN in the Global Block description).
A Closer Look: Start by routing a vocal track into the DSR-1. Typically use a pre- or post-insert, and set the DSR-1’s input to an acceptable level. Notice the relationship between your FREQ and WIDTH settings and the ess meter level. The ess meter level is located in the output meters block on the right side. Start by pressing the LISTEN button to facilitate isolation of the ess band. To start with, set the ratio to 1:1 so that no compression is applied to the band. Now adjust the
