The World's Most Advanced Vocal
Remover
Thompson Vocal EliminatorTM
Model VE-4
Advancing The Art of Vocal EliminationTM For Over 30 Years - The Only Serious Vocal
EliminatorTM
Manufactured and Sold Exclusively By LT Sound
The VE4 in
addition to being the most advanced Vocal EliminatorTM
is also perhaps the best Vocal Enhancer for live performance and the best vocal
capture box for serious recording in the studio. Almost a fourth of the VE4s are
sold to singers who are not interested in the Vocal Eliminator but simply want
the best vocal enhancer available for both performance and recording. Even "Professional" karaoke units
are not even close to the VE4's level of vocal enhancement. Why? Primarily
because they are selling to an audience that has never set foot inside a
recording studio. A little reverb... and most are happy. We, on the other
hand have built professional compressors, equalizers and reverbs and incorporate
the very highest quality vocal enhancement to be found. You do not have to
be a "techie" to use the VE4 as the automatic optimization built into
the unit will allow you to get truly professional results with the purely
automatic operation. If you want to tweak, you can... and you can store
your favorite presets in the VE4's memory.
In addition to simultaneous echo and reverb which are optimized for
vocal enhancement the VE4 provides the following: Compressor, De-Esser, Limiter, Expander, Studio Quality Digital EQ
optimized for voice. The
VE4 is purchased by many of our customers strictly for its vocal enhancement for
recording or for live performance. It has almost all the features of our
$5,000 "Missing Link" Vocal Capture Platform for a fraction the
price. You have your choice of the VE4's automatic mode, for all or some
of the effects, where the adjustments are automatically and expertly made by the
VE4 or choosing semi-automatic or manual adjustment of individual
parameters.
Even technophobes should find the VE4 to be user friendly
despite its incredible sophistication. All settings can be stored in the
VE4's non-volatile FLASH memory for instant recall, so when you get the
"magic combination" that works for you, you can save and recall it at
will. Store different presets for performing, practice or
performance.
It all starts with the mic pre-amp and the VE4 is designed
from the mic jack forward strictly for vocal use. This allows us to effectively
capture 4 more "real" bits of resolution at the higher
frequencies. Phantom power (True 48 volt), adjustable gain,
and the lowest noise transistors on the planet, give the VE4's mic input stage
advantages for vocal work over the best "general purpose" mic preamps
even on $250,000 consoles. The VE4 has an "AutoClip" mode where
if any clipping at all occurs (even for one sample), the screen will alert you
and automatically leave the meter up for for twenty seconds for you to back off
on the mic gain.
All our DSP processing is
done with the Analog Devices SHARC 32 bit floating point processor. All of
the expertise of over twenty-five years of designing studio audio signal
processing equipment have been tapped and the VE4 has the world's most advanced
algorithms for EQ , Compression, Limiting, Expansion, De-Essing, X-Iter, and the
lushest combination of echo and reverb you will ever hear enveloping the human
voice. All parameter adjustments are storable for instant recall in performance,
practice, or recording environments. The noise gating and expansion is silky
smooth, and all the parametric bands have sample by sample dynamic gain
adjustment which allows us to back off on the high EQ boost when no vocal is
present. We are using a combination of dynamic EQ adjustment and
gain adjustment in the gating. Same is true for the limiting and De-Essing.
Sample by sample gain adjustment allows nuance and control over the EQ itself,
Compression, and De-Essing in a manner simply not possible with separate units
or conventional signal processing topologies. Output through the VE4's
digital optical or coax connectors or any of the VE4's three pairs of stereo
analog outputs.
You really have no idea just how great you can
sound until you hear your voice through the Studio Quality vocal enhancement
provided by the VE-4! "Professional" karaoke units don't even come
close! Typically they do not even provide equalization which is crucial.
Don't forget that You are the star of the show! The background music is just
that, the background. You are the foreground! We provide professional vocal
enhancement identical to what you hear on your best recordings rather than the
cheap echo effect found on most Karaoke units. Eleven Vocal Enhancement Programs!
The VE-4 gives you eleven excellent voice enhancement
programs. We use both delay and reverb which is crucial to making you sound your
best! Unlike even the best pro reverbs which have to compromise to sound
acceptable on drums, instruments and vocals, our programs are optimized
specifically for vocal work! This unit is going to spoil you and you will never
want to sing again without it! You can even use the Delay/Reverb independently
if you have a mixing board or a porta-studio. This will save you money since you
won't need to buy an echo and reverb unit.
