5.0 APPLICATIONS
In this section, we will first review setting the Aphex Aural Exciter Type III
for initial operation (as mentioned in Section 3.8 - Initial Checks). Then, a
series of illustrated applications will provide you a look at some typical
settings for the Model 250. At the end of the section, you will find a page of
identical front panel drawings without control knob markings, for noting
your own custom settings. Feel free to reproduce the templates so that you
can include a copy of your settings with your project documentation.
5.1 Initial Settings
The Aural Exciter Type III can be used as either an in-line or sidechain
processor, as shown in Fig. 5-1.
For most applications, you will use the unit as an in-line enhancement device
by connecting it between other electronic devices, or by inserting the unit at
appropriate console I/O patch points. To use the device as a sidechain
processor, press the SOLO button (light on) to defeat the main (original)
audio signal. This action will route only the pure effect back to your console
return. Remember that the SPR effect (see section 4.11) should be turned Off
for this mode.
Once the Type III has been properly installed (see Section 3.0), perform the
following steps for an initial operation setting, as shown in Fig. 5-2:
1. Press the POWER switch on.
2. Press NR MODE to indicate A, Ax to indicate in
(LED on), and SOLO to indicate off (LED off).
