PRESET SELECT/FUNCTION SELECT

Use this knob to select the different presets available within the HUSH Ultra. See section titled "SELECTING A PRESET"

for more information on how to select a preset. When in "EDIT MODE" it is used to select the desired "FUNCTION"

(Title Edit, True, Bypass, HUSH, Global, MIDI CTRLINK, Preset Mapping, MIDI Dump/Load, or Global Restore)

to be altered. See section titled "CHANGING PRESET PARAMETERS" in this manual for more information on the

FUNCTION SELECT control

IN/OUT button & LED

This switch allows for the HUSH Ultra to be bypassed when noise reduction is not required. When lit, the LED indicates

that the HUSH Ultra is currently active in the signal path.

DISPLAY window

All of the HUSH Ultra's presets, functions and parameters, will be displayed in this window depending on what is being

selected or adjusted.

STORE/EDIT button

This button is used to STORE any changes you make to presets. It is also used to put the HUSH Ultra into "PRESET

EDIT" Mode. See PRESET EDIT mode later in this manual for more details on this function.

HUSH THRESHOLD/PARAMETER ADJUST

This control sets the point at which the downward expander and dynamic ﬁlter begin to operate. When in "EDIT

MODE" this control is used to ADJUST the selected PARAMETER, within the selected FUNCTION. See section titled

"CHANGING PRESET PARAMETERS" in this manual for more information on the PARAMETER ADJUST control.

GATE THRESHOLD/PARAMETER SELECT

This control is used to determine the level at which the gate will begin to operate. As the input signal drops below this

level, the gate will activate and downward expansion will begin. When in "EDIT MODE" this control is used to SELECT

a parameter with the selected FUNCTION to be altered. See section titled "CHANGING PRESET PARAMETERS" in

this manual for more information on the PARAMETER SELECT control.

GATE RELEASE

LED

When lit, the Gate Release LED indicates that the input signal has dropped below the level set by the Gate Threshold

control, thus activating the gate and providing additional downward expansion.

REF switch

This switch determines the sensitivity of the HUSH Ultra. When using the HUSH Ultra with professional audio equip

ment providing a nominal output level +4dB, it is recommended that the "+4dB" setting on the unit as the Threshold

adjustment will allow you to optimize noise reduction for this reference level.

If the "-10" setting is used and the unit is overdriven, the "+4" setting should be used.

**The -10db setting is recommended for all instrument rigs.
