11.2 Low Cut (Lo-Cut)

Default: Off

Available settings: Off, 40, 80, 160 (display 0, 1, 2, 3)

This option activates a high-pass (bass removal) within the microphone. This filter can remove

rumble, subsonic-noise and other low frequency noises. The cut-off frequency can be set to 40

Hz, 80 Hz and 160 Hz.

11.3 Directivity Pattern (PAttErn)

Default: 0

Available settings: 0 up to 15 (display 0 up to F, hex coded)

The remote-controlled setting of the directivity patterns is one of the highlights of digital micro-

phones. The pattern can be adjusted in 15 steps from omnidirectional (1) to cardioid (7) up to

figure of eight (15).

11.4 Pre-Attenuation (AttEnuAtIon)

Default: Off

Available settings: 0 dB, -6 dB, -12 dB, -18 dB (display 0, 1, 2, 3)

To prevent the microphone from overload by extremely loud sound sources an adjustable at-

tenuator is used which can be set up by this option.

11.5 Mute (mutE)

Default: Off

Available settings: On, Off (display 0, 1)

This option allows to mute the microphone output via remote control. Such a function can be

useful to prevent gain changes where audio should stop but the gain should stay unchanged, or

to dim the level meters of unused channels.

11.5 Peak Limiter (LImItEr)

Default: Off

Available settings: On, Off (display 0, 1)

A peak limiter removes peaks and short overloads, but can also reduce the dynamic range in-

tentionally.

11.7 Command Type (ComtyPE)

The DMC-842 offers access to the command bytes 1, 2 and 4. The parameter of the command

byte can be set like done in the other functions, using Select keys and rotary encoder. The pa-

rameter values are displayed hex-coded (00 – FF).
