Frequently Asked Questions - DeEsser Mk2 SPL
What is a de-esser used for?
A de-esser is used to reduce excessive sibilance (harsh 's', 'sh', 'ch' sounds) in vocal tracks. The SPL DeEsser Mk2 provides transparent, frequency-selective reduction.
How do I set the threshold?
Adjust the Threshold control so that only sibilant passages trigger the reduction. Start high and lower until the sibilance is controlled.
What does the Frequency control do?
The Frequency control sets the center frequency where de-essing is applied, typically between 4 kHz and 10 kHz for vocals.
How do I use the Range control?
The Range control determines the maximum amount of gain reduction applied to sibilant sounds. Lower settings give subtler effect.
Can I bypass the DeEsser Mk2?
Yes, the front panel has a Bypass switch that allows you to compare processed and unprocessed signal.
What type of connections does it have?
The unit uses balanced XLR inputs and outputs, with a standard 19" rackmount format.
Is it suitable for live sound?
Yes, the DeEsser Mk2 is designed for both studio and live applications, with rugged construction and low noise floor.
How do I clean the unit?
Disconnect power and wipe the enclosure with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
What power supply does it use?
It has an internal power supply that accepts 100-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz. No external adapter needed.
Where can I find spare parts or service?
Contact SPL authorized service centers for spare parts and repairs. Consult the manual for contact information.
