SPL Dual-Band De-Essers

SPL Dual-Band De-Essers

The Dual-Band De-Essers offer high and low band de-essing which both make use of our unique 'S' phase cancellation technique to removes sibilants fast and easy while keeping the original vocal "untouched". The high band operates an octave above the low band. Further features are Auto Threshold mode which keeps de-essing evenly intense regardless of the input level. Dual Band De-Esser: SPLs newest weapon in the fight against unwanted sibilants.
