Sound4 Big Voice 2, 2 Channel Digital Mic Processor

Sound4 Big Voice 2, 2 Channel Digital Mic Processor

SOUND4 BIG VOICE² is powered with the revolutionary HQ-Sound 192kHz Audio Processing engine, a SOUND4 patented technology which has been used for years in other products. Its processing structure includes an advanced DeEsser, 3-band noise gate, Pre-EQ 4-band parametric, 3-band dynamic processor, Post-EQ 4-band parametric, brick wall limiter - much more than a simple noise gate and compressor.

SOUND4 BIG VOICE² processors are flexible, and adapt perfectly to all voices. From Natural tone to Big, everything is possible in a few clicks. The SOUND4 BIG VOICE² is the perfect tool for production studios for that smooth Voice Over.

Dominate-it... Let the lead Talent LEAD: SOUND4 BIG VOICE² includes the revolutionary “Dominate-It” function so the Lead talent is always the leader. This unique feature invented by SOUND4 gives priority to the main talent and will automatically back off guest mics when the main talent speaks.

SOUND4 BIG VOICE² can even share the “Dominate-It” function with other BIG VOICE² processors to control other mics if needed!

Dedicated to "Live Studios": SOUND4 Big Voice² has been designed for Live studio requirements. The dedicated graphical user interface shows 2 Mics, status, affectations and Users Names. Recalling a Mic to a user is done in two clicks… More and more… SOUND4 introduces now the “Session Recall”: it is possible to save all Mic’s affectations + loaded users presets, and then recall all in one click! SOUND4 BIG VOICE² is also externally automatable for dayparts automatic sessions recall.

Bus-Mix… Auto-Mix all mics to one output and save fader space in consoles: The Bus-Mix function groups selected channel outputs to one physical output. This acts as an Auto-Mix function and is always protected from bus overloads. SOUND4 BIG VOICE² is limited to 1 Bus-Mix and is not sharable with other devices.

User-friendly control interface

• Two GUI types: STUDIO is dedicated for sound setup and LIVE is a very simplified one for On-Air Studio.
• Setting of sound from one single screen! No more opening and closing of windows for going from one function to another.
• In STUDIO GUI, two level modes: BASIC where everything is simple and rapid, ADVANCED for exploring all the processor functionalities.
• In LIVE GUI, if needed Presets are editable or not in a very simplified GUI for fast On-Air modifications.
• Ultra-fast vu meter for true control.
• Unlimited “Undo/Redo” versioning function for presets with possibility of recall.
• Innovative “compare” function with reference notion.
• Log function for presets.
• A remote connection manager to control several processors.
• Works on Windows 7, 8, 10, 11, Windows Server 2016, Linux (Debian).
