COMPRESSOR INTERCONNECTION:
The side chain 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.
They are connected in parallel with a standard 1/4" stereo jack/-jack cord (tip: bus 1, ring: bus
2).
The two jack socket on the rear panel is connected in parallel and both are input/output.
