The SPL DeEsser Mk2 is a highly specialized auto-dynamic de-esser that automatically removes excess sibilant frequencies in a simple and musical way, cancelling out S-sounds without affecting the natural character or timbre of the voice. This updated version offers the same processing qualities as its predecessor but features a new design with solid aluminum knobs that provide an even better feel, for a high-quality user experience. The DeEsser Mk2 offers two mono DeEssers in a compact 1 RU unit.

• The DeEsser Mk2 Auto-Dynamic DeEsser has a new circuit technology that automatically adjusts to the S-frequencies and narrows the bandwidth so that only the range of the S-sound is processed, and all neighboring frequencies remain untouched.
• The frequency band determined in this way is mixed back to the original signal in phase-inverted form, whereby the S-sound is acoustically removed. 
• Auto-Dynamic de-essing has very little negative influence on the timbre of the voice; side effects such as twanging or lisping do not occur. In addition, time-consuming readjustment of the frequency settings is no longer necessary.
• The SPL Auto-Dynamic DeEsser combines efficiency with sound neutrality. Additionally, you can also soften hard cymbal sounds or snares.

• The S‑Reduction control adjusts the intensity of the S‑sound reduction. In practice, S‑Reduction settings between -2 dB and -8 dB achieve the best results for most applications.
• The S-Reduction LED display visualizes the intensity of the S‑sound reduction between 0 and -20 dB in 2 dB steps.

• The Auto switch activates the Auto Dynamic function. This automatically adjusts the threshold if the input level fluctuates due to varying distance to the microphone, which can lead to fluctuating input levels.
• With Auto-Threshold engaged, the de-essing intensity remains constant at the value you set using the S‑Reduction control. This helpful not only for inexperienced voice-over artists, but also in live situations.

• The Female switch is used to adapt the de-essing to the voice characteristics of female performers. With the Female switch pressed, automatic S-sound detection now reacts more intensively to higher-frequency S-sounds.
• The un-pressed switch position selects the Male mode to adapt the S-sound detection to male voice characteristics. Lower-frequency S-sounds are processed.

• The two channels of the DeEsser Mk2 are equipped with Neutrik XLR connectors with gold-plated contacts. Each de-esser also features 1/4" TRS connectors.
• The signal transmission is electronically balanced at a nominal level of +6 dB.
