What is a De-Esser?
A de-esser is a specialized audio processor designed to reduce the prominence of sibilance in vocal recordings.
Sibilance refers to the harsh and shrill high frequency content produced along side consonants like ’s,' but also ‘sh,' c 'ch'.
The primary function of a de-esser is to target and compress the specific frequency range associated with these sibilant sounds, to ensure a smoother and more balanced vocal performance.
By focusing on only the problematic frequencies, a de-esser helps prevent excessive sibilance in the audio, to create a more pleasant listening experience.

Very informative! Thank you!
Little ironic that the word "sibilance" itself, has the sounds it's trying to define.
