14 DIGITAL PRO MIXER DDM4000 User Manual 1) Press the CONSOLE SETUP knob (51) to select the parameter (LOW, MID, HIGH, Q MID). You can see several level meters on the display. Three parameters of the compressor are adjustable plus you can also load presets. 2) Turn the CONSOLE SETUP knob to change the value of the selected parameter. The meters: PAN1: Position of Microphone 1 in the stereo image MIC I Shows the input level PAN 2: Position of Microphone 2 in the stereo image MIC 0 Shows the output level OUT B: Volume of the microphone channel at Output B 1) Press the right PARAMETER knob (45) to select the parameter (PAN 1, PAN 2, OUT B). 2) Turn the PARAMETER knob to change the value of the parameter. COM Shows the compression ratio for the low (L) and high (H) frequency band EXP Shows the attenuation of the expander for the low (L) or high (H) frequency band Adjustable parameters EQ GAIN page: THRSH Threshold specifies the cutoff frequency of the Ultramic processor FREQ Adjusts the crossover frequency between the upper and lower frequency band This page lets you make user default sound settings, which affect the microphone channel in relation to the equalizer. For example, storing a boost of 5 dB in these settings affects the signal even when the HIGH rotary knob is set to 0, that is the center position. The high frequencies can additionally be boost or cut with the HIGH knob. This function helps to remove problematic frequencies of your voice or to improve speech comprehensibility. MIC 1 LOW CUT: Cutoff frequency of the high-pass filter (Microphone 1) EFFIC Efficiency: Adjusts the level of compression 1) Press the CONSOLE SETUP knob (51) to select the parameter (THRSH, FREQ, EFFIC). 2) Turn the CONSOLE SETUP knob to change the value of the selected parameter.

MIC FX page: ULTRA MIC 1 and 2: The Ultramic processor is a 2-band compressor that reduces the dynamic range of speech. The level of loud sounds is reduced and the level of quiet sounds is raised. This decreases the difference between the loudest and quietest passages. By splitting the signal into two frequency bands, a thicker, more powerful sound is achieved without the typical artifacts, such as pumping sound or a loss of clarity. The settings for both microphone signals are made separately. That's the reason for having two Ultramic pages. For Mic 1, select the page "Ultramic 1" and choose "Ultramic 2" for Mic 2. The parameters on both pages are identical so that they only have to be described once. On the Mic FX page, you can select the type of effect you want to use for the microphone signal. The following effects are available: 1) Turn the right PARAMETER knob (45) to select the preset. 2) Press the PARAMETER knob to load the preset. Each effect can be modified in order to suit your individual taste. Two parameters are available for this reason. The second parameter always adjusts the effect Dry/Wet Mix-this applies to all effects.
