SPL DeS
The well-known SPL De-Esser in the Dual-Band version as a single-slot module for 500 Series.
The Hi-S control adjusts the intensity of the S sound reduction in the upper frequency band. The centre frequency for sibilance detection is 11.2 kHz with a bandwidth of 3 kHz. The SR LED indicates the S sound reduction.
The Lo-S control adjusts the intensity of the S sound reduction in the lower frequency band. The SR LED indicates the S sound reduction.
The Voice switch is used to adjust the low-band de-esser to a voice characteristic.
The centre frequency for the sibilance detection can be chosen with this switch.
The Female setting is 7.6 kHz, Male is 6.4 kHz, and the processing bandwidth in the low band is 1.44 kHz.
SPL has developed a circuit technology that combines efficient de-essing with maximum ease of use.
Using the de-esser while recording can not only improve the quality of the recording, but also saves a lot of time compared to processing it later in post-production.
The DeS automatically adjusts itself to the relevant frequencies and hones in on them so that only the range of the S-sound is processed and neighbouring frequencies remain untouched.
This range is phase-inverted and mixed back into the original signal, which acoustically deletes the S-sound. The DeS therefore works unobstrusively and sound-neutral.
