Samson S-com 4 - Using the Enhancer

10
Operating The S•com 4
USING THE ENHANCER
The S•com 4’s ENHANCER switch can be engaged to activate the EFR (Enhanced Frequency Recovery) circuit.
By engaging the ENHANCER, the S•com 4 EFR restores the high frequency content that can be lost when high
gain reduction is applied. The S•com 4 EFR achieves this by adding back the high-end of the original signal in an
amount that is equal to the amount of gain reduction.
