4 Advanced Functions

In addition to the basic functions described in section 3 above, the SST 4 trans-
mitter provides a number of advanced functions that allow you to "tweak" the mon-
itor signal to satisfy each user.
The SOUND menu includes four sound processing screens. Note that these will not
be available when "BYPASS" is active.
• Each screen provides up to ten preprogrammed Settings. Each Setting is fol-
lowed by an "OFF" option so you can make an A/B comparison of the sound
against the unprocessed signal.
• To deactivate a SOUND function, choose "OFF".
The sound screens appear in the following order:
• The highpass filter lets you brighten up a dull sound or suppress low-frequency
interference, e.g., from a bass amp.
• You can set the highpass filter corner frequency from 10 Hz to 300 Hz on a log-
arithmic scale.
• To save your setting, press SETUP briefly.
• The EQ presets let you shape the sound to suit your preferences (e.g., more
clarity, less harsh sound).
The following settings are available:
- "EQ OFF": EQ deactivated.
- "EQ IP2": neutral sound optimized for supplied IP 2 earbuds.
- "CLEAR 1-3": Low-mid attenuation in the critical range from 125 Hz to 250 Hz
for added clarity.
Recommended for repairing indifferent, muddy sound.
- "SOFT 1-3": Upper-mid attenuation between 3.4 kHz and 6.8 kHz for a mel-
low sound.
Recommended for repairing excessively harsh sound with exaggerated sibi-
lance and cymbal crashes.
- "WARM 1-3": Special processing in the ranges around 150 Hz and from 3.4
kHz to 6.8 kHz for a warm, pleasant sound.
• To save the selected Setting, press SETUP briefly.
Specifically designed for in-ear monitoring, the binaural room simulator restores a
natural sonic environment. This enables the artist to localize their own signal more
easily in the mix and hear all instruments much more clearly.
• The following preprogrammed Settings are available:
- "RS OFF": no room simulation.
- "CLOSE" 1 to 3: close-in monitors
- "NATUR" 1 to 3: natural sound
- "WIDE" 1 to 3: open sound
• To save the selected Setting, press SETUP briefly.
• This screen is not available in DUAL mode!
The compressor has been designed by AKG on the model of the top-of-the-line
dbx mastering compressors. It maintains all the nuances of the original signal and
provides inaudible gain reduction.
• The following preprogrammed Settings are available:
- "CO OFF": compressor deactivated.
- "SOFT" 1 to 3: very soft, gentle, completely inaudible compression
- "MED" 1 to 3: standard compression ratio around 2:1 for gentle enhancement
of intelligibility and loudness, completely inaudible gain control.
