Anyone can sell on Reverb. The generates very little heat so it is not necessary to leave an empty space for ventilation above or below the unit.

Use only the AC adapter supplied with the ; use of any other AC adapter will void your warranty. To prolong the AC adapter's life, unplug it when not in use turning the 's power switch to off is not sufficient to disconnect the AC adapter from AC power. Rotating the control clockwise raises the threshold, thus clamping signals at a higher level and reducing the amount of compression or limiting.

Page 15 This produces a smoother sound that tends to retain dynamic character, but the tradeoff is that the cannot react as rapidly to sudden level shifts. Examples: Setting a longer attack time with guitar allows more of the pick attack to come through. Note: The must be powered up to pass a signal with either switch setting. Stereo Link Switch Page Front Panel Noise Gate Controls The hiss would also be present under these conditions, but since a strong signal is present it would tend to "mask" the hiss.

To use the solely as a noise gate, set the Ratio control to This passes the input signal to the noise gate without processing. Page Front Panel Metering Example: A meter reading of -6 dB indicates that the is attenuating the input signal by at least 6 dB in order to keep it at the threshold level. The more lights that are lit, the greater the amount of limiting, and the more processed the sound. Page Side Chain Applications 's control signal for processing, and the tip connection receives the processed sound.

For keying applications, a regular mono cord can be used since it is not necessary to send the 's control signal out for processing.

For frequency-dependent limiting applications that involve plugging into another signal processor, a special stereo-to-dual-mono cord is required, as shown below. Page 20 To perform ducking: 1. Process the signal to be "ducked" e. Insert EQs and other devices for applications such as de-essing removing sibilance , adding treble to limited signals, "keying" one signal with another, "ducking" e. This provides signal level compatibility with nearly all studio setups. Knobs are calibrated to allow for easy setup and operation.

This can reduce noise when compressing or limiting. Each section can also operate as a standalone noise gate. Input Plug in the output of low or line level signals to be limited, compressed, or gated. These outputs can be a stereo pair or individual mono outputs from mixing consoles, crossovers, tape recorder chan-.

Microphones and guitars can be used with the level switch set to dBV see below. Guitars with exceptionally low output pickups may. Side chain This stereo jack allows for insertion of other signal processors or "keying" from other signal sources. See section 1.

Equipment designed for smaller project and home studios and electronic musical instruments tend to use dBV nominal signal levels. For most applications the will be installed in a rack frame. The generates very little heat so it is not necessary to leave an empty space for ventilation above or below the unit.

Hooking up power involves the rear panel power jack and front panel on-off switch. Power jack Plug the AC adapter output in here. This limited, amplified signal has a much higher average level than the alesis compressor manual signal. Comments to this Manuals Your Name. This type of signal processing can be used as an effect e.
