6 2.1.4 More about noise: Expanders and Noise-Gates A lot of instruments such as microphones, amplifiers, guitar pickups, etc generate some noise, either at low fre- quencies (hum) or at high frequencies (hiss) Such noise will inevitably interfere with the quality of your audio signal. Now , if you scream into a microphone you will not hear the noi[...]

5. SC Filter switch Engaging this switch to insert a Low-cut filter in the sidechain path and thus limits the influence of low frequencies on the CLE 8.0's control processes. 6. Smart switch Engaging this button to switch the "Hard Knee" characteristics to SKC (Smart Knee Control). SKC provides a compression of the program material a[...]
