A IN / BYPASS Switched in bypass mode, (down position) all effects of the limiting circuitry are
bypassed and will not affect the audio signal. In the bypass mode , the audio signal
passes from the input directly to the output.
B. INPUT Continuously variable attenuation of input signal entering the amplifier limiting
circuitry. Full attenuation occurs at the fully counterclockwise position.
This control is active only in IN mode.
C. COMP. / LIMIT Selects compression ( 1.5:1) or limiting (3:1) function.
D. THRESHOLD Continuously variable gain reduction threshold control.
Determines the necessary amplitude for compression or limiting to take effect. Most
extreme effect is at the MIN (fully counter clockwise) position. The lower the
threshold, the more that gets limited.
E. METER Factory calibrated. Adjusts zero indication on meter.
F. RECOVERY Recovery times can be selected between
a. VERY SLOW 8 seconds
b. SLOW 4 seconds
c. MEDIUM .6 seconds
d. FAST .4 second
e. VERY FAST .2 second
G. ATTACK Continuously variable sensitivity of transient detection. Determines the necessary
length of transient to initiate gain reduction. Fast =25mS, Med =50mS, Slow =70mS.
Fully counter clockwise at the slowest setting will prevent most percussive signals
from causing limiting or compression.
H. OUTPUT ATTENUATE Continuously variable attenuation of output signal leaving the amplifier circuitry.
Full attenuation occurs at the full counterclockwise position.
This control is active only in IN mode.
J. GR METER Measures in decibels amount of reduction
K. POWER ON/OFF Power is supplied to the unit when switched UP. LED will illuminate
