ART TCS Twin Compressor System
5
Bypass, Tube, Det.Loop Switches – These 3 switches control the
channel settings.
When depressed, the BYPASS switch completely bypasses the
compressor controls, including output level (It should be noted that this
is an active bypass, so if the unit is unpowered no signal shall pass
through).
The TUBE switch places a 12AX7 tube in the signal path adding tube
warmth and gain.
The DETECTOR LOOP switch selects the rear inserts for the detection
path. This routing is useful for ducking and voiceover techniques.
6
V3 Compression Selector –This selects the V3 setting for the given
channel. To learn more about V3 see pg. 11.
7
LED Meter and Source Selection – This LED METER bar graph
shows either the input or the output average level (with a peak hold).
The source for the meter is determined via the LED METER SWITCH.
8
Output Level – These knobs function as either dual output level
controls or stereo output and pan controls.
9
Stereo Link – When engaged the unit functions in Stereo Mode.
While in this mode the LEFT CHANNEL CONTROLS act as the global
controls for the unit with the exception of the detector loop controls.
Gain Reduction Meters – These VU meters show how much gain
reduction is taking place. When set at 0 there is no compression, and
as compression increases, the VU meters move “down” displaying the
gain reduction in dB.
