General Description

The Micro FX series was developed by Valley International and featured a range of dedicated audio processing units for studio and broadcast applications. The Micro FX De-Esser is designed specifically to reduce excessive sibilance, such as harsh “s” sounds in vocal material.

Its dedicated analogue processing design makes it an interesting piece of vintage studio equipment for audio enthusiasts and collectors.

## Function and Sound

Excessive sibilance can make vocal recordings sound sharp or unpleasant. The Micro FX De-Esser helps control these sounds while retaining the natural character and intelligibility of the voice.

The adjustable frequency control determines the area of the signal being targeted, while the sensitivity control adjusts how strongly the processor responds. It can be useful in vocal recording, speech production, and other applications where harsh sibilant frequencies need to be controlled.
