maximum level. You can switch between these two modes by pressing the MAX. OUT LEVEL key for about 2
seconds. Additionally the RMS LED in the display will light up.
2.1.3 The Exciter function
The ULTRAMIZER PROs Exciter function adds transparency and depth to the audio signal. Classical music
material gains transparency and musicality while popular music keeps the desired brilliance. Two parameters
govern the performance of the Exciter function, both can be accessed by means of the EXCITER key.
EXCITER PROCESS
When pressed once you gain access to the Exciter PROCESS parameter. The PROC LED next to the
numeric display will light up to show this. Now you can set the intensity of the Exciter effect within the range of
0 to 100.
EXCITER TUNE
When pressed twice you have access to the TUNE parameter. Here this is the lower frequency limit of the
Exciter function. This can be set from 4 to 12 kHz. The kHz LED beside the numeric display lights up to
display the unit of the edited parameter.
2.1.4 The SuperBass function
The SuperBass function is the low frequency equivalent of the Exciter function. Designed to process the low
frequency portion of the signal and to add transparency and depth.
SUPER BASS PROCESS
If you press the SUPERBASS key once you can access the SuperBass PROCESS parameter, which
determines the intensity of the SuperBass function. The value can be set from 0 to 100 while the PROC
LED lights up.
+ Be careful not to overload your power amplifiers or loudspeakers when you use an extreme
setting of the PROCESS parameter of the SuperBass function. Remember, less is more.
SUPER BASS TUNE
When pressed twice you have access to the SuperBass TUNE parameter. This is the upper frequency limit
of the SuperBass function.This can be set from 50 to 150 Hz. The Hz LED beside the numeric display lights
up to display the unit of the edited parameter.
2.1.5 The 3DSurround function
With the the 3DSurround function the ULTRAMIZERPRO can be used as a 3D stereo Surround Processor,
increasing the stereo width of the program material. Whether you want to process individual instruments or
the entire mix, you can set the 3DSurround function on the fly. The effect makes the sound more spacious,
wider and more full. Since this function does not make any sense with two mono signals, the COUPLE mode
must be activated to activate the 3DSurround function
+ When you use extreme setting with the 3DSurround function on heavily reverberated audio
material, the reverb can sound unnatural and too intense. This is caused by the way stereo
reverbs operate. Remember, less is more.
2.1.6 The Denoiser function
The ULTRAMIZER PROs Denoiser function is universally applicable and suited for all types of instrument and
complex signals. The algorithm of the Denoiser function does not produce unpleasant side effects like pump-
ing or noise trails. The parameters are for a large part chosen automatically depending on the program
material and the two parameters, which can be accessed with the DENOISER key.
DENOISER THRESHOLD
When the DENOISER key is pressed once, the THRESHOLD can be set. This function reflects the Noise Gate
and is used to remove unwanted noise during the pauses. When the Denoiser THRESHOLD is being set the
dB LED beside the numeric display lights up. The setting can range from -90dB to 0dB (no signal reaches
the output). OF means the Denoiser function is deactivated.
DENOISER SENSITIVITY
When the DENOISER key is pressed twice you can edit the parameter SENSITIVITY. With this parameter
2. OPERATION
