chaining) to a maximum of 6 neighboring Glory Compressors via
the rear panel jacks.
Be careful not to inadvertently connect an audio signal to
these control jacks, or to wire these jacks to other
audio inputs on other gear. Doing so may result in
damage to the compressor or other equipment. Be careful not to
use 2 circuit TS cables with the LINK jacks.
Using the LINK switch, each Glory Compressor within a local
linked group may be set to one of three control modes.
The MASTER position asserts the chosen unit to be the master
time constant control source for the remaining units.
Essentially, the master unit’s side-chain controls represent
the “dashboard” for itself and the other units in the linked
chain. In this mode, all control voltages, including the
master’s, are fed through the master side-chain through analog
“diode-OR”ing of the control signal. This means that whichever
compressor is being hit with the loudest signal (or producing
the highest control voltage) will be the dominant device in
the chain, with all others following the GR commands of that
particular unit, including the master.
Note: Be careful not to set two or more linked units
into the MASTER mode, since this jams control amplifier
outputs together, and may overheat components inside the
affected compressors.
*When starting out with a linked set of compressors, it is
recommended that each unit’s THRESHOLD, ATTACK, RELEASE,
RELEASE MODE and RATIO controls be set alike as a starting
point.
Any single unit in the chain may be designated as the MASTER,
as convenience dictates.
The SLV position switches the unit into the control voltage
listening mode, where the gain reduction is under the command
of the master or external control voltage. If no external
voltage is detected, the compressor will return to zero GR and
the local side-chain controls will be offline.
As an aid in lining up the compressor with its neighbor(s), a
SLV CAL control is furnished above the LINK switch. This
