RTA-31
Real Time 31-Band EQ and Spectral Analysis
RTA-31 is both a
Graphic EQ and
a Spectrum
Analyzer that
enables you to
easily modify the
frequency
response of any
given signal
within the D8B
or from external live and studio acoustic environments.Quickly view
your sound using the on-board spectrum analyzer to zero in on the
troublesome highs and lows of even the most difficult rooms. The
amazing ‘ToEQ’feature lets you immediately identify troublesome
frequencies using the Frequency Analyzer while the 31-Band Graph
automatically compensates for the highs and lows of your signal.
◆ Use your mouse as an on-screen paint brush to quickly perform var-
ious EQ editing functions.
◆ Use the 1/3 Octave Spectrum Analyzer (20-20K) in live and studio
applications to identify the nature of an acoustic environment.
◆ Selectable dB reference level (0dB to -60dB) allows you to focus in
on the most important range of your signal.
◆ Factory presets feature useful EQ and Analyzer setups
◆ Selectable graph types, choose from Bar, Peak Hold, Point, Peak
Difference,and Peak Bar for viewing preference.
◆ Control graph response time to identify quick transients.

DSR-1 Three-band Frequency-Controlled “DeEsser” Dynamic Processor
The DSR-1 is a highly accurate,frequency controlled, three-band dynamic processor
that enables you to quickly isolate and correct unwanted sibilance found in vocal
recordings of singers and speakers. The DSR-1 reduces annoying sibilance and
popping sounds that are often found in recordings without loosing the crisp
top-end clarity. Don’t let the simple chicken head controls and the funky retro-look
fool you; the DSR-1 is a highly professional tool that is ideal for editing vocals,
instruments, and other sources. The DSR-1 is an invaluable D8B plug-in that can
save otherwise great recordings by eliminating troublesome “Ess”frequencies.
The DSR-1 employs frequency controlled compression to reduce problematic “Ess”that often occurs in recordings of singers and speakers. Using the
Frequency and Width controls to zero in on specific problem areas, an internal keying device known as Listen allows you to solo or (Listen) to the
isolated sibilant frequency that you want to compress. The DSR-1 can also help to reduce shrill, high-pitched sounds that may accompany bass guitars,
wind instruments,or other acoustic instruments.With a series of useful presets designed for male and female vocals, spoken word and other instru-
ments, the DSR-1 promises to make even the toughest job easy to correct
.
