In its basic “DS” mode, the DerrEsser is an effective, level-insensitive de-esser, which is a device that adjusts the high gain frequency in excessively high-pitched or spiky vocals, or other source. By using a crossover technique and dividing audio into a high-frequency range and a low-frequency range, the DerrEsser can use its voltage-controlled amplifier to roll off comparatively high or treble frequencies in an extremely musical way. However, unlike other de-essers, the device is not limited to just de-essing and allows multiple use of its circuits.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-13acc3d7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"13acc3d7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe DerrEsser has four modes\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e7f5e88 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2e7f5e88\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDS MODE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e– (Bypass Button IN, all other buttons OUT). As a de-esser in DS (HF Limit OFF) mode, the limit can be set to tame harsh S's (hissing) that result from an overly bright singer, or EQ to make a vocal sound aggressive and clear. The DS limit is not level-dependent and compares the amount of high-frequency content to low-frequency content, so adjusting the overall level does NOT affect the limit. Easy to set and forget. Great care was taken to ensure that this section of the DS lived up to Empirical Labs' reputation for originality and ease of use. We use the latest VCA technology, specially selected for flawless performance, distortion and noise. The time constants have been carefully selected and the corner frequency is user adjustable with a high-performance active crossover.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHF LIMIT\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e– (Bypass IN button, HF LIM IN, all other OUT buttons). In this mode, the DerrEsser essentially acts as a high-frequency compressor. If there is enough high frequency content to exceed the threshold, gain reduction occurs. It is level sensitive, but responds much more to high frequencies. This mode is more of a general high frequency smoothing device and is probably the first carefully tailored soft knee HF limiter in existence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHIGHPASS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e– (Bypass Button IN, Listen IN, HP\/LP OUT, HF LIM does not matter). By using the “LISTEN” function, the user can employ the excellent filter circuitry within the DerrEsser to process their audio.
