LIMITER
Type: dbx PeakPlus™ (patent-pending)
Threshold Range: 0 dBu to + 22 dBu (off)
Ratio: ∞ :1
Attack and Release: Program-dependent
FUNCTION SWITCHES
INSERT: Inserts a device connected to the rear-panel Return jack into the signal path.
NARROW: Selects narrow (0.5 octave) bandwidth for the MID frequency control
EQ: Enables the equalizer section
LINE: Selects the Line inputs
+48V: Enables the 48V phantom power for the Microphone input
PAD: Attenuates the input signal by 20 dB.
PHASE: Reverses pins 2 and 3 of the input XLR connector.
LO CUT: Enables the 75 Hz,12 dB/octave low cut filter
METER SOURCE SWITCHES
DRIVE: Monitors the signal level at the input to the vacuum tube
INSERT: Monitors the signal level at the Insert Return jack
OUTPUT: Monitors the output signal level
DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTION SWITCHES
(Note:The digital output option switches are enabled only when the optional dbx TYPE IV™ module is installed in the unit.)
DITHER: See manual for dbx Type IV™ option
SHAPE: See manual for dbx Type IV™ option
REAR PANEL SWITCHES
INST: Switches the gain and impedance of the Line Inputs to allow for connection
of unbalanced devices with passive instrument pickups
+4 dBu/-10 dBV: Switches the nominal output level between +4 dBu and -10 dBV
INDICATORS
CLIP Red LED to indicate when the internal signal level is within 3 dB of actual
waveform clipping;sense points are at all critical stages of the circuit
LIMIT: Red LED to indicated when the PeakPlus™ limiter is active
