The second method of
DSM MIC powering allows
a 'Low Cut' bass reduction
filter.
post graphic equalization during playback as graphic equalizers tend to
reduce the recording quality of the upper frequencies even when control
frequencies are set at zero or 0 DB.
For Example, voice interviews conducted near the rumble of nearby motor traffic
can be made much clearer sounding by using an 85 cycle (or higher) Bass reduction
filter.
A PA model with low cut filter reduces excessive bass sounds for cleaner sounding recording .
A 'Lo-Cut' filter (a.k.a., 'Hi-Pass' filter) controls excessive low frequencies during the
recording process. A benefit depending on the type of sound/music of interest, and may also depend on
low frequency ambient sounds competing with the recorded subject of main interest.
NOTE: Decks with MOD-2/3
upgrade can also be used with any PA-xx module when OCCASIONALLY
REQUIRING effective low frequency reduction controlling feature.
PA-6LC2 .... 85 Cycle Bass Filter .... Switch
Defeatable
The PA-6LC2 is one of the more versatile of the
PA-x DSM external powering accessories for
recording contemporary live Jazz, POP/Rock, and Blues
performances where Ambient and/or PA Speakers produce
occasional excessive/boomy bass making recordings muddy
sounding when played on most moderate powered stereo
systems.
The 85 LoCUT Switch allows full (MAX) bass whenever BASS
reduction is not desired as for acoustic recording.
DESCRIPTION OF BASS REDUCTION MODELS
1) PA-6LC2 with 85 cycle bass filter that can be turned OFF. This model is very good for those who also record
amplified acoustic-to-jazz where no bass filter is needed, and also very good for recording moderate to fairly loud pop/rock
(but not too close to speakers) where 85 cycle bass filter is maybe best to turn ON.
2) PA-6LC3 with low-to-moderate 40-80-120 cycle bass filter switch selections. Good for amplified acoustic-
to-moderately loud pop/rock (but not too close to speakers). Filter is always ON at selected setting.
3) PA-6LC3B adapter is best solution for moderate-to-very loud rock (especially in Japan/Germany) with 85-
170-250 cycle bass filter switch selections. This model is very needed if recording very near to speakers. Filter is always
turned ON at selected setting.
