565E

Fast First-Time Setup
Follow these instructions to get your 565E up-and-running as quickly as possible. The intent of this
section is fast setup. Refer to later chapters for explanation of the 565E’s controls and functions.
Connect the line-level signal source for Channel 1 to either the female XLR input jack (pin 2
hot) or the 1/4-in. TRS (tip-ring-sleeve, stereo, 3-conductor) input jack for Channel 1.
Connect the line-level signal return to either the male XLR output jack or to the 1/4-in. TRS
output jack for Channel 1. If you use the 1/4-in. jack, use a TRS plug for balanced
circuits or use a TS plug for unbalanced circuits. Additional information on the signal
connections may be found on pages 13-14 of this manual.
If necessary, repeat for Channel 2. Ignore the SIDECHAIN (KEY INPUT) connections for now.
Connect the AC input to an AC power source of the proper voltage and frequency, as
marked on the rear of the unit.
Caution: Failure to connect the 565E to the proper AC mains voltage may
cause fire and/or internal damage.
Warning: Lethal voltages are present inside the chassis. There are no user
serviceable parts inside the chassis. Refer all service to qualified
service personnel or to the factory.
Make your initial switch and control settings as follows:
SWITCH/CONTROL SETTING
CHANNEL 1
EXPANDER THRESHOLD CONTROL BYPASS
RELEASE CONTROL 12 O’CLOCK
COMPRESSOR THRESHOLD CONTROL -10 (12 O’CLOCK)
RELEASE CONTROL 12 O’CLOCK
RATIO C ONTROL 2:1 (APPROX. 10 O’CLOCK)
LIMITER THRESHOLD CONTROL BYPASS
OUTPUT GAIN C ONTROL 0 (12 O’CLOCK)
STEREO LINK STEREO/DUAL MONO SWITCH DUAL MONO (“OUT” POSITION)
CHANNEL 2 REPEAT SETTINGS SHOWN FOR CHANNEL 1
With the 565E’s controls and switches now set according to the preceding section, the 565E
should pass signal. Fast setup is complete.
Refining Your Settings
Refine the EXPANDER THRESHOLD setting so that the expander reduces the gain of background noise
when the desired input signal is not present, but does not reduce the gain when the desired signal
is present and does not trigger excessively on short pauses in the program material. Adjust the
COMPRESSOR THRESHOLD control so that two or three of the compressor gain reduction LEDs light
when normal level program material is present. Set the LIMITER THRESHOLD control so that the -3
LED just lights on the highest peaks in the audio program material. Remember these settings are
just guidelines; you can use whatever settings work best for you.
