HPF
in [Live Sound]
|
From: Joe L on 2 Apr 2008 19:07 What's the general opinions on variable HPF usage for live sound? As I've mostly had to deal with fixed HPF's, now that I've got a digital mixer and the HPF is variable, how high should I go? What's a good starting point for say vocals, 100hz? I'm using an om5 on a male vocal. TIA JL

It's almost a must have feature. Used in conjunction with aux fed subs, you can get a lot more clarity & headroom out of a rig then without those features by not reproducing stuff that doesn't need to be there. Along those lines, one feature that I've made some good use of on the Midas XL4 is the sweepable low pass (in addition to the sweepable high pass) filter on each channel strip. great for really narrowing the bandwidth for certain things you want out of the horns. Wish more boards had that tool... Rupert

Yeah I know one has to use their ears and pretty much deal with the variables such as the venue, and source, music style, other stage sound and mains spill off, and more.. I was just looking for some common settings that one might notice they tend to end up with. I'm the source as a one or 2 man band, so my vocal mic is a little harder to gauge than other channels. I'm using a digital mixer and I've tried not to get carried away with over EQ'ing as there's lot available, but I think I'm being a bit conservative with the HPF on all the channels. Don't think there's an LPF on the DDX3296, I'll have to check. JL

Mine is packed so I can't tell you what it's called but here's how to get to it ... Go to the EQ for your chosen channel. Choose the highest frequence filter (of the 4 available) and press the button in line with the RHS column on the display (the one that normally says "Q".) The setting for that filter will flip between 3 different types of filter. At least one gives you a HPF type result. It can come in handy. Cheers, Steve W |
