Quick Start Guide
Step 1: Preliminary inspection.
Remove the Glory Compressor from the package and carefully
inspect the unit for outward signs of damage or distress. All
projecting controls and connectors should operate smoothly and
uniformly, and the enclosure’s surfaces should be free of
irregularities. All seven tubes should be standing at
attention in their sockets. Contact your dealer, the shipper
or us without delay if there is evidence of damage to the
unit.
Step 2: Park it.
Budget a suitable space to install the unit in an equipment
rack. Make sure there is at least 1U of breathing space above
and below the compressor, and that the airflow in the rack is
not constricted, since there will be about 95 Watts of power
dissipated by the unit. Keep cables and other objects away
from the rear panel and heat-sink since this panel will get
rather warm during operation.
Step 3: Hook it up, front panel control initial start-up
positions.
A. Route the target signal to either the INPUT XLR or TRS
jack. The TRS input jack will exhibit 6 dB more sensitivity
then the XLR input. Apply a 0 VU (+4 dBu, 1.23 Vrms) signal to
the XLR jack, or a -6 VU (-2 dBu, about 600 mVrms) signal to
the TRS jack. Using the TRS input jack will interrupt any
signal applied to the XLR input jack. Both jacks present
bridging loads to the line input signal, of about 10k and 20k
ohms respectively, and both are actively balanced.
B. Route the processed signal from the unit via the PROGRAM
OUTPUT XLR plug or TRS jack to suitable line-level monitoring
and/or recording gear. Be careful not to connect the
compressor outputs to any microphone-level inputs not capable
of handling large line-level signal levels. Damage to the mis-
connected microphone preamp may result.
C. Connect the compressor to the correct line voltage using
the supplied IEC power cable.
D. Turn the power on. Power lamp blinks during 30 second
warm-up period, and COMP relays hard-bypass the compressor
