The
363X
provides
no
amplification
when
a
sig-
nal
is
passed
through
it.
Therefore
the
363X
does
not
need
any
calibration
or
alignment
before
it is
placed
into
operation.
Basic
signal
connections
are
covered in
the
previous
section
titled
"Connecting
the
363X
to Your
System."
This
section
will
address
each
of the
controls
and
indicators
on the
dbx
363X.
In
order
to
successfully
operate
the
363X
it
should
be
understood
that
the
THRESHOLD,
HOLD
and
RELEASE
functions,
although
separate
controls,
work
together
to
allow
the
gate
to
be used
effectively
in
a
wide
variety
of
applications.
As
with
most
signal
processing
units,
experimenting
is
usually
the
best
method
to
gain
an
under-
standing.
Below
are
a
couple
of
examples
of
how
the
363X
can
be
used.
