Source Mic Proximity

Use the Data Knob to set the average distance that separated the mic and

the signal source during the recording of the audio. Or select OFF to

preserve the source recording’s actual proximity effect (if any).

The purpose of this control is to remove any Proximity Effect that may

have been introduced by the source mic.

NOTE: Proximity Effect is a boost in bass frequencies resulting from

placing a directional mic in close proximity to a signal source. The

amount of the effect is inversely proportional to the distance from the

mic to the source (i.e., the smaller the distance, the greater the bass

boost).

ANOTHER NOTE: Like the Low-Cut control described above, the Source

Mic Proximity control may initially seem to be working backwards (i.e.,

setting a shorter distance will result in an audible bass attenuation).

Refer to the explanation up in the Source Low-Cut section to under-

stand why this is actually how it is supposed to work.

Model Low Cut

If the mic type you select as the Model Mic is typically equipped with a

low-cut filter, you can use the Data Knob to turn the filter ON or OFF.

(If the selected mic type does not have a low-cut filter (and actually, only

the Telephone is lacking one), the display will default to “---.”)

If the modeled mic does include a low-cut filter, turning the low-cut ON

will reproduce the same effect that the filter would have on the actual

modeled mic.

NOTE: Although it’s always best to let your ears be your guide, if your

audio was recorded with the source mic’s low-cut filter turned on, in

most cases it will be best to turn on the modeled mic’s low-cut filter as

well. (After all, there was presumably some reason that someone chose

to use that filter in the first place.)

Model Mic Proximity

Use the Data Knob to select a mic distance for a desired amount of prox-

imity effect.

Using the Data Knob to set a particular distance will result in the amount

of proximity effect that would be produced by the actual modeled mic

when placed at that distance from the signal source.
