Module
The DS
2
module works much like a de-esser: when sound at a specified frequency surpasses a threshold, gain is
reduced by a defined amount. DS
2
differs from a de-esser in that any frequency can serve as the side band that
triggers the compressor. It can, of course, be used as a standard de-esser. There are two identical DS
2
sections, so
that low-frequency and high-frequency sounds can be addressed simultaneously.
