●3-Band Equalizer

Usually an equalizer is used to correct the sound output from amps or speakers to match the special character of the room. The sound is divided into several frequency bands, allowing you to correct the sound by raising or lowering the level for each band.

The 9000Pro features a high grade three-band digital equalizer function for the microphone sound.

• Hz.........................	Adjusts the center frequency of the corresponding band.
• dB ........................	Boosts (“+” values) or cuts (“-” values) the corresponding band by up to 12 dB.

●Noise Gate

This effect mutes the input signal when the input from the microphone falls below a speciﬁed level. This effectively cuts off extraneous noise, allowing the desired signal (vocal, etc.) to pass.

• SW .......................	“SW” is the abbreviation of Switch. This turns Noise Gate on or off.
• TH ........................	“TH” is the abbreviation of Threshold. This adjusts the input level at which the gate
	begins to open.

●Compressor

This effect holds down the output when the input signal from the microphone exceeds a speciﬁed level. This is useful when recording a signal with widely varying dynamics. It effectively “compresses” the signal, making soft parts louder and loud parts softer.

• SW .......................	“SW” is the abbreviation of Switch. This turns Compressor on or off.
• TH ........................	“TH” is the abbreviation of Threshold. This adjusts the input level at which compression
	begins to be applied.
• RAT ......................	“RAT” is the abbreviation of Ratio. This adjusts the compression ratio.
• OUT .....................	Adjusts the output level from the speaker.
