PROCESS SCREEN

Press PROCESS on the main screen to access. This also activates SELECT mode to choose a channel. UNIDEX Process Screen Processors are fixed to each input, not to the channel. They cannot be reassigned to other channels, buses or outputs. Available processes depend on the input type assigned to the channel.

PROCESS screen functions
  • View which processors are on the channel and if they are active or in BYPASS.
  • Enable/disable a processor by touching BYPASS.
  • Access settings by touching the icon or contextual button.
Channel selection
  • In SELECT mode, use CUE/SELECT on the console or the encoder to scroll through all 24 channels (physical in cyan, virtual in purple).
  • Any action in PROCESS cancels SELECT, applying changes to the active channel.
  • SELECT can also be activated from PROCESS to choose another channel.
Parameter adjustment:
Done by combining the encoder and touch options, as indicated for each processor.
Process settings can be saved in the scene.

​
PARAMETRIC EQUALIZER

UNIDEX EQ 1 - NAME: Shows channel number and name. Virtual channels display the name area in purple. 2 - BANDS: Band selection. Screen shows parameters for one band at a time.
Each band has a color that identifies it in the graph and parameter area.
All inputs have 3 parametric bands, except MIC-1 to MIC-4 inputs which have four bands. 3 - CONTROLS: Parameters for each EQ band. Background color changes with selected band.
  • GAIN: Gain in dB, with a range of ± 9 dB.
  • FREQ: Adjusts working frequency. All bands cover 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
  • Q: EQ bell width. Determines precision of applied correction.
  • TYPE: Band operation mode. Toggle by touching TYPE on screen.
    • Band #1: peak, low-shelf or HPF.
    • Band #2 (and #3 on microphone inputs): peak or HPF/LPF.
    • Band #3 (#4 on mic inputs): peak, hi-shelf or LPF.
  • ON/OFF: Band enable/disable. Toggle by touching ON/OFF on screen.
4 - BY-PASS: Disables entire equalization stage. Also appears on PROCESS screen.
Toggle by touching BY-PASS on screen. 5 - SELECT: Activates channel selection mode. 6 - BACK: Returns to previous screen.

​
High-Pass / Low-Pass Filters

  • Band #1 can function as 2nd order high-pass filter (HPF) (12 dB/oct).
  • Band #3 (Band #4 on MIC-1 to MIC-4 inputs) can function as 2nd order low-pass filter (LPF) (12 dB/oct).
  • Band #2 (and Band #3 on MIC-1 to MIC-4 inputs) can work as HPF or LPF.
    If two bands are configured as high-pass or low-pass at the same frequency, total cutoff attenuation will be 24 dB/oct.

​
DYNAMICS

The DYNAMIC processor includes a noise gate and a compressor. UNIDEX Dynamics 1 - COMPRESSION CURVE: Graphically shows input-output relationship of dynamic processor, including gate and compressor. 2 - INPUT LEVEL: Shows peak signal level at compressor input (dBfs).

​
3 - Noise Gate

  • Threshold: Gate activation threshold (dB).
  • Attenuation: Applied signal attenuation when gate is active.
  • Style: Changes recovery time between preset values.
  • Active: Indicator lights red when gate is closed.

​
4 - Dynamic Compressor

Controls for adjusting:
  • Threshold
  • Ratio
  • Attack time
  • Release time
  • Hold
  • Output gain
5 - BYPASS: Completely disables dynamic processing stage (gate + compressor).

​
DE-ESSER

UNIDEX De-esser MIC-1 to MIC-4 inputs include a de-esser for sibilance reduction.
This processor works as a multiband compressor, attenuating only the defined frequency range when signal level exceeds the set threshold. Controls:
  • 1 - Type: Preset settings.
  • 2 - Frequency start: Lower cutoff frequency. Adjusted according to voice characteristics. Usually between 4,500 and 5,500 Hz.
  • 3 - Frequency end: Upper cutoff frequency. Adjusted according to voice characteristics. Usually between 7,000 and 10,000 Hz.
  • 4 - Threshold: Threshold level in dB. When signal in working band exceeds this value, it is attenuated with a fixed 15:1 ratio.
  • 5 - Gain reduction: Shows applied level reduction in dB.
