COMPRESSOR INTERCONNECTION:
The Link sockets for interconnection of several compressors are located on the rear panel.
A switch (BUS SELECT) on the front selects which compressors are interconnected, and on
which bus they are connected. If you e.g. have 10 compressors in a rack, you can select
compressor 1,5,7 and 8 on bus 1, and compressor 2,3,6 and 9 on bus 2, leaving compressor
4 and 6 in the off position.
Compressors 1,5,7,8 are now interconnected and all four will perform the exact same
compression. This applies to compressor 2,3,6 and 9 as well. Compressor 4 and 6 are
independent.
The interconnection implies that the unit, which performs the most compression, is
controlling the others.
To choose which one you want to control, select the attack/release time, the threshold and
the ratio on that unit, and turn the threshold fully counter clockwise on the reminding
compressors.
It is of course possible to have all the interconnected compressors control each other
simultaneously.
NB: Remember to set the ratio control and the gain control in the same position on
the "slaves". Otherwise the stereo image could be shifted during compression.
The attack/release-control on the slaves will have no effect.
The input/output capability of the side chain-circuit allows up to ten compressors to be linked
together.
