Source Mic Edit: Low-Cut Menu
The purpose of this control is to allow the model 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 varies from mic to mic, and is
inversely proportional to the distance from the mic to the source
(i.e., the smaller the distance, the greater the bass boost).
Mics operating in omnidirectional mode do not exhibit a proximity
effect. Consequently, if the source mic is an omni mic, or the source
mic has selectable patterns and omni is chosen, the Proximity will
default to “no proximity effect.”
Note: Like the Low-Cut control described below, 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 down in the Low-Cut
section to understand why this is actually how it is supposed to
work.
Also note that the effect of the Proximity control is unique for each
model of microphone. The AMM-1 does not use a generalized
approximation of proximity effect. Each model reflects the specific
physical properties that create the proximity effect for that indi-
vidual mic.
Low-Cut Menu
Pressing the Low Cut button while in Source Mic Edit mode will
display something like this:
Source LowCut
80 Hz
If the mic you select as the Source Mic is equipped with a user-
selectable low-cut filter, pressing the Low-Cut button will allow you
to use the Data Knob to select from among the actual filter settings
available on that mic. (If the selected mic does not have a low-cut
filter, the display will default to “none.”.)
If the source mic does include a low-cut filter, select the low-cut
setting that was (or will be) used when capturing your audio.
