Chandler Limited Zener Limiter - Manual (Page 4)

SIDECHAIN - Sidechain filtering was added to the Zener as part of the effort to make an
ultimately flexible TG Limiter. In situations where a TG1 may be too aggressive, the sidechain,
combined with other Zener modifications, makes this new TG useable in nearly every situation.
With this control you can remove low frequency information feeding the limiting circuit from 30
to 300 Hz. It is VERY effective when you need a more gentle compression or limiting action
while maintaining that special TG sound. Excellent for mixes, subgroups, bass, and even hard
slamming kick drums! You need to try this!
ATTACK - The attack control combined with the sidechain filter is the heart of the flexibility
of the Zener. The RS168 and all TG versions of the limiter had preset attack times until now.
You will notice that setting two in white is the original attack time with the remaining being new
additions. Since the attack times were generally quite quick, especially in LIMIT mode, most
settings are slower. These are extremely effective on drums and bass when combined with
sidechain filter.
