Using

the

296

The

best

way

to

become

familiar

with

the

296,

whether

in

the

studio

or

live,

is

to

pass

audio

through

it

and

listen

to

the

effects

produced

by

turning

the

various

controls.

Use

the

table

shown

below

to

get

you

started.

Then,

experiment

with

the

296’s

controls

and

try

different

settings.

You

might

be

surprised

at

what

you

hear.

Best

of

all,

you

may

create

the

perfect

sound

for

your

needs.

—

Not

Recommended.

The

296

is

generally

not

applicable

for

these

applications.

Hiss

Reduction

Unlike

the

enhancement

“detail”

circuitry

which

enhances

a

signal

and

then

mixes

it

back

with

the

main

signal

at

the

device's

output,

the

296’s

HISS

REDUCTION

is

applied

to

a

signal

before

it

reaches

the

enhancement

circuitry.

(Note

that

the

hiss

reduction

acts

upon

the

entire

pre-processed

signal.)

Therefore,

the

sound

you

hear

is

actually

com-

posed

of

“detailed”

signals

mixed

back

together

with

the

main

audio

path

(which

may

have

been

hiss

reduced).

The

Hiss

Reduction

and

HF

Detail

circuitry

“talk”

to

each

other.

When

the

Hiss

Reduction

is

active,

the

maximum

amount

of

HF

Detail

that

can

be

added

to

the

signal

is

reduced.

This

circuit

is

most

effective

when

used

in

the

tracking

process.

If

your

overall

mix

requires

hiss

reduction,

be

aware

that

with

some

types

of

reverb,

the

reverb

effect

may

be

diminished.

When

possible,

add

reverb

after

treatment

with

a

296.

“Detailing”

Controls

The

HF

DETAIL

and

LF

DETAIL

controls

are

“level”

controls

that

“mix”

the

desired

effect

into

the

original

program

ma-

terial.

Start

with

both

controls

set

fully

counterclockwise

to

defeat

the

effect.

Advance

either

control

to

hear

that

con-

trol’s

effect.

;

HF

Detail

On

mixed

program

material,

the

HF

DETAIL

usually

produces

the

best

sound

if

adjusted

in

the

4

to

6

range;

the

detail

and

definition

of

the

program

material

is

improved,

yet

the

material

does

not

sound

excessively

shrill.

If

HF

DETAIL

processing

is

applied

to

single

tracks,

the

control

must

be

set

to

individual

taste.

Use

your

ears,

and

judge

how

the

processing

affects

the

sound

of

the

track

in

the

context

of

the

entire

mix.

Generally,

if

the

program

material

is

very

bright

to

begin

with,

you

will

hear

little

effect;

if

the

program

material

is

dull,

you

will

hear

very

significant

brightening.

Note

that

for

any

HF

processing

to

occur,

there

must

be

some

high

frequency

signal

content

present

in

the

input

sig-

nal.

The

296

also

works

well

in

treating

final

mixes

which

contain

previously

treated

individual

tracks

because

the

unit

will

only

add

highs

when

they

are

below

the

threshold

determined

by

the

HF

DETAIL

control

setting.

Model

296

The

HF

DETAIL

processing

introduces

surprisingly

little

noise

because

it

intelligently

differentiates

noise

from

other

program

material

and

does

not

enhance

noise.

LF

Detail

The

296’s

LF

DETAIL

is

a

static

EQ

that

uses

a

specially

derived

curve

to

boost

the

lower

bass

frequencies,

while

cut-

ting

mid-bass

mud.

This

“mud”

can

come

from

too

many

bounces

on

analog

multi-track,

limited

EQ

ona

mixing

con-

sole,

improper

miking

techniques,

etc.

The

circuit

provides

a

very

different

type

of

effect

than

the

EQ

on

a

typical

mixer

—

enhancing

and

re-energizing

the

signal’s

low

end.

Don’t

hesitate

to

re-adjust

the

LF

DETAIL

for

different

pro-

gram

input

or

different

EQ

settings

on

your

mixer.

The

LF

DETAIL

can

also

be

used

in

conjunction

with

bass

enhance-

ment

devices

(such

as

a
