Operating Manual - DPX-100 Graphic Equalizer - Compressor/Limiter
When Using Heavy Compression, Background Noise
Is Noticeable During Quiet Sections Of The Program
As defined in the section on compression, quiet
program material is effectively made louder while loud
peaks are made quieter. When the program source is thus
raised in volume, its noise floor is also raised in volume
by a proportionate amount. This is not a defect in the
compressor/limiter, but an unavoidable side effect of the
gain altering process. If the noise becomes a problem,
the solutions are to either decrease noise at the program
source, or use less compression.
Excessive Hum Or Noise
Hum is often caused by a “ground loop” between
components. Try using the suggested balanced input and
output hookups if the other pieces of equipment used in
conjunction with the DPX-100 have balanced inputs and
outputs. Noise can also be caused by insufficient drive
levels. Make sure you are sending a nominal 0 dBV line
level signal to the unit.
