Description: A level-independent, frequency-selective de-esser. Frequency selectivity means no full-
bandwidth drop-outs—just transparent de-essing in the frequency band where the problem occurs.
Notes: Starting with tune mode, sweep the filter frequency and bandwidth until the filter is centered
over the offending frequency band. Then switch to normal mode and adjust the sensitivity until any
esses are attenuated to the desired degree.
I/O Characteristics: Stereo-in, stereo-out
