User manual NADY MSE-100A

[. . . ] PROCESSOR OWNER'S MANUAL MULTIBAND SOUND ENHANCEMENT PROCESSOR MSE-100A MSE-100APROCESSOR MULTIBAND SOUND ENHANCEMENT Congratulations on your choice of processors -- you have purchased one of the finest stereo processors on the market today. This unit was developed using the expertise of professional sound engineers and working musicians. You will find that your new NADY AUDIO MSE-100A has superior performance and greater flexibility than any other enhancer/exicter in its price range. Please read this manual carefully to get the most out of your new unit. [. . . ] The setting depends on the application you are addressing. MODE Buttons With the MODE button you can define the sound effect of the bass processor. If the button is on ("TIGHT") the bass will sound "dry" and "punchy", whereas the released switch mode ("SOFT") creates a warm and full bass. The yellow LED will indicate "TIGHT". Note: That the bass processor should be set carefully to avoid possible speaker damage. Most near-field monitors are not capable of handling the bass produced by the Enhancer. Multiband Processor With Variable Sound Processing Circuit The Variable Sound Processing circuit allows for variably fading over from Enhancer to Exciter mode. Turning the PROCESS control clockwise activates the Exciter circuit increasingly to provide additional processing of high fre6 quencies for more signal transparency and brilliance. Fading over from one effect to the other can thus adapt the effects perfectly to the respective program material to suit any application or personal sound preference. TUNE control The TUNE control sets the lower cutoff frequency of the high-pass filter. Using this control you can select the frequencies that are routed to the Natural Sonic Processor. The cut-off frequency can be adjusted within a range of 1 to 8 kHz. PROCESS control The PROCESS control determines the function of the device. Turning the control clockwise increasingly activates the Exciter mode. Note: That for input signals that already include sufficient treble content, such as classical music or acoustic instruments, generally the setting should emphasize the Exciter mode. However, when processing, for instance, a "slapped" bass guitar, the "Exciter" setting should dominate. HIGH MIX control The HIGH MIX control of the high band determines the amount of signal used for sound enhancement (from zero to six). It would depend on the application as to whether a high-quality system is to be given the "finishing touch" with the Enhancer, or whether maximum intelligibility is to be achieved in a relatively poor sound reinforcement system. SURROUND IN/OUT Button This button activates the SURROUND section. As this mode is designed only for stereo applications, note that this button has to be released when processing two separate signals (dual mono) otherwise there will be undesired crosstalk between the two channels. SURROUND Control This controls the effect of the SURROUND processor (zero to six). Turning the control clockwise improves the intensity of the stereo imaging and increases the spatial enhancement, depending on the signal being processed. [. . . ] Also, background music in bars and restaurants can be heard more easily while keeping the volume more manageable. Using the MSE-100A during tape duplication The sound of any P. A. system will be improved by the MSE-100A. For example, vocals and speech will be considerably more transparent and intelligible, and the instruments can be distinguished more easily. ENHANCING THE SOUND OF INSTRUMENTS The bandwidth of most electronic musical instruments is limited by its "sampling rate". [. . . ]
