Explanation of the EARTH-LINK switch for isolating electric ground to prevent noise loops.
Explanation of the noise gate function, its purpose, and its effect on dynamic range.
Function of the side test switch for monitoring filtered signals during setup.
Indicates the operational status of the noise gate (shut or open) via LED indicators.
Controls for high-pass and low-pass filters used to trigger the noise gate accurately.
Setting the signal level above which the noise gate allows passage.
Adjusts the delay for the noise gate opening when the signal rises above the threshold.
Controls the delay for the noise gate closing after the signal drops below the threshold.
Determines the amount of gain reduction when the noise gate is closed.
Disables the noise gate section, allowing the signal to pass unchanged.
Explanation of the compressor function and its effect on signal dynamics.
Enables and controls a frequency-specific compressor for effects like De-Essing.
Sets the signal level at which the compressor starts reducing gain.
Adjusts the amount of gain reduction applied once the threshold is crossed.
Visual indicator using LEDs to show the amount of gain reduction applied by the compressor.
Disables the compressor section, allowing the signal to pass through unaffected.
Shared controls affecting both channels, including output level and stereo mode.
Adjusts the final output signal level, useful for gain makeup or matching.
Displays the output signal level using a 12-LED meter.
Selects between dual mono operation and stereo linked operation for both channels.
Allows using an external signal to trigger the noise gate or compressor.
Optional transparent cover to prevent accidental manipulation of front panel controls.
Optional metallic, lockable cover for enhanced security of front panel controls.
Using the noise gate to isolate microphones and prevent audio bleed in multi-mic setups.
Tips for applying noise gating effectively to drum recordings for clean signals.
Eliminating unwanted ambient noise in recordings using the noise gate function.
Using the noise gate to counteract feedback caused by compressor gain increase during pauses.
Using the compressor to stabilize dynamic level variations in vocals and instruments.
Adapting the dynamic range of recordings to match the support's capabilities.
Employing the compressor/limiter to prevent speaker damage from sudden level peaks.
