5.1 THE INPUT SECTION
The Input section controls the Input
Gain Level. The PPM Meter gives
you visual response and you can
switch the TC 2290 in and out
with the <DELAY ON> key.
The <INPUT GAIN> must be
adjusted so that the Red LED
(+3dB) lights only momentarily on
extreme peaks in the input
program. INPUT GAIN
INPUT
(01) PPM METER
(Peak Program Meter). Displays
amount of input signal.
As with all audio equipment it is of
vital importance that the input ievel
is matched correctly. This will
secure the best performance from
your TC 2290.
(02) INPUT GAIN.
Control to match Input Gain Level. The <INPUT GAIN> must be adjusted so
that the Red LED (+3dB) lights only momentarily on extreme peaks in the
input program. The <INPUT GAIN> must be set properly to be able to take
full advantage of the dynamic range of the TC 2290. Overload distortion will
result if set too high, noise begins to appear if too low. Also all the
threshold-oriented effects of DYN and PAN will not work properly if set
wrongly. The <INPUT GAIN> features a 20 dB control range. The setting is
not stored with preset settings.
(03) DELAY ON. (Bypass)
When LED is lit, the TC 2290 will be processing the input signal. With the
LED off the input (direct) signal is led to the outputs unprocessed.
By means of Spec. No. 26, you can specify 3 different methods of
bypassing, see notes below. (Only EPROM 26.5 and higher).
