GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SSM2000 is an advanced audio noise reduction system based on proprietary HUSH® circuitry. HUSH combines a dynamic filter and downward expander to provide a high level of effectiveness without the sonic artifacts normally associated with noise reduction systems. In addition, an Adaptive Threshold circuit detects nominal signal levels and dynamically adjusts both thresholds, thereby providing optimal results regardless of program source. Since it is a single-ended system, HUSH can be used on virtually any audio source, including audio and video tapes, radio and television broadcasts, or any other source with objectionable noise.
