11. Processing DSP and is modeled after the latest HUSH design The low level expander of the HUSH system operates like an electronic volume control The analog design utilizes a voltage controlled amplifier VCA circuit which can control the gain between the input and output from unity to 30 40 or even 50dB of gain reduction When the input signal is above the user preset threshold point the VCA circuit is at unity gain This means that the amplitude of the output signal will be equal to that of the input signal As the input signal amplitude drops below the user preset threshold point downward expansion begins At this point the expander operates like an electronic volume control and gradually begins to decrease the output signal level relative to the input signal level For example if the input signal were to drop below the threshold point by 2dB the output would drop approximately 3dB As the input signal drops further below the threshold point downward expansion increases For example if the input signal dropped 6dB below the threshold point the output level would drop by approximately 14dB A drop in the input level by 20dB would cause the output level to drop by approximately 54dB i e 34dB of gain reduction In the absence of any input signal the expander will reduce the gain such that the noise floor becomes inaudible HUSH PARAMETERS Hush UO This parameter simply determines whether the HUSH circuit will be in the signal path or bypas
