Harrison Consoles has announced the release of AVA De-Esser, the latest implementation of Harrison’s renowned De-Esser algorithm, used in ultra high-end post and film facilities worldwide.
Now in the fourth generation, the Harrison De-Esser algorithm has been continuously tweaked by their customers in high-end music, film, broadcast, and video-post production.
Harrison’s reputation for “true analog in the box” sound is due to their unique development heritage, where they first created an analog processor and then converted the processor to digital while retaining the sound and character of the original.
The AVA De-Esser implements Harrison’s 4th-generation algorithm that is tuned to detect and eliminate harsh sibilance.
The results are quintessentially “Harrison”: effortless, smooth and transparent.
