Control Elements
The ACTIVE-function allows to switch between the processed and
unprocessed signal. The green status LED indicates that the
channel is active. A relais hard bypass circuitry works on both XLR
and Jack connections. In case of a power failure the unit is swit-
ched to hard-bypass.
The outer ring of the dual-concentric control sets the output level
and is usually set in its fully clockwise position giving unity gain.
However, intensive processing, especially of the bass end, may
increase the overall signal level. The GAIN control may be used to
control the output accordingly.
The inner ring of the dual-concentric control regulates the inten-
sity of the equalisation process. The effect only pertains to the
SUB BASS and MID-HI TUNE controls. Effects generated using the
HARMONICS or STEREO WIDTH controls are not affected.
The PROCESS SOLO button may be used to compare the
processed signal with the dry signal. Alternatively a processed
only output can be created (necessary when using the VITALIZER
in the effects send/return loop of a mixing console).
The SUB BASS control is arranged so as to have no effect when set
to its central position denoted by a ~ on the scale. Turned clock-
wise, the processing produces a tight, punchy bass sound free
from boomyness. The scale markers in the clockwise half of the
scale are square markers to give a visual indication that a tight or
sharply defined bass sound is being produced.
When turned in the counter-clockwise direction, a very deep,
warm bass sound is created. This is denoted by circular markers
on the counter-clockwise half of the scale suggesting a ”rounded”
sound.The processing increases the more the controls are turned
from it’s centre position.
As with the MID-HI TUNE control, the amount of processed
signal added to the main signal is determined by the setting of
the PROCESS DEPTH control.
