• If the correct source mic is selected in the Source Mic list and Bypass is

selected in the Modeled Mic list, the final output of the Mic Modeler

module will be stripped of the characteristics of the source mic, result-

ing in the signal that would have been recorded by an instrumentation

microphone with no proximity effect.

• If Bypass is selected in the Source Mic list and Bypass is selected in the

Modeled Mic list, the final output of the Mic Modeler module will be

identical to the original input signal (with the exception of any added

tube warmth).

(There’s a lot going on with the parameters on this page and some of it is

rather counter-intuitive, so if things don’t seem to be acting the way you’d

expect, refer to the explanations below.)

This page contains the Low Cut Filter and Proximity settings for both the

Source mic and the Model mic. Use the cursor buttons to navigate to the

desired fields and the Data Knob to set the values.

Source Mic Low Cut

If you select a specific source mic and that mic is equipped with a low-cut

filter, you can use the Data Knob to turn the filter ON or OFF. (If the

specific mic does not have a low-cut filter, the display will default to “---.”)

All generic mic categories include a low cut filter.

If the source mic does include a low-cut filter, select the low-cut setting

(ON or OFF) that was (or will be) used when capturing your audio.

NOTE: It is important to keep in mind that the purpose of this setting is

to “undo” the effect of any low-cut filter that was used to capture your

audio. If you play around with this setting, you may initially think that

it is working “backwards.” That is, changing the menu selection from

OFF to ON will actually cause a bass boost in the monitored audio.

However, once you think about it, you will realize that this is the way it’s

supposed to work. The purpose of the controls in the Source Mic section is

to neutralize the effects of the source mic. So, when you select a low-cut

filter, you’re telling the Microphone Modeler that the source mic recorded

the audio with bass attenuation and, therefore, the model must now

boost the bass an equal amount to remove the source mic’s sonic colora-

tion. (Trust us, this fried our brains a bit at first, too.)
