Selecting the Noise Reduction Mode
When the Compat Mode is set to Digital Hybrid, three
settings are available that affect the high frequency
audio content and noise:
• NORMAL (factory default) applies a moderate
amount of noise reduction, dramatically reducing
hiss with virtually no discernible side effects.
• FULL applies more aggressive noise reduction with
transparency superior to the noise reduction system
used for many years in the earlier Lectrosonics
wide deviation analog systems.
• OFF applies no noise reduction for complete trans-
parency.
Navigate to the SmartNR setup screen.
