Blue Tubes Deesser DS-2S

Vintage Style DeEsser

The BT Deesser DS-2S is a stereo deesser with vintage controls and sound. This deesser is designed to tame the harshness of certain vocal sounds, specifically ess sounds. However, this device can be useful in controlling the level of other sibilant vocal sounds as well, such as t, sh or f to name a few.

A deesser works like a frequency specific compressor. In fact, the DS2S is essentially a compressor driven by hi-pass/band-pass filters. It reduces the offending high frequencies when the level of those frequencies exceeds the threshold. Threshold and Frequency sliders are provided, as well as a Listen selector switch to hear only the frequencies being deessed. The DS-2S is the ideal way to take that unwanted sizzle out of your vocal tracks.
