and the mic is turned
on. If it is less than
the threshold, the
noise gate closes,
and the mic is turned
off.
You can adjust your
SOLO to four different
threshold levels (see
diagram above), or
turn it off. To select
the threshold, power down the SOLO. Hold in the
Lock Fixed button, power up the SOLO and release
it one second after the Lock Fixed and Bypass LEDs
turn on. The clip level LEDs will light in sequence.
Select the threshold level by pressing the Lock Fixed
button again when the clip LED lights at the corre-
sponding threshold level. The noise gate is now
enabled, indicated by a flashing level LED on power-
up. Pressing the Lock Fixed button with no clip
LEDs lighted turns off the noise gate. If no lights
flash on power-up, the noise gate is not en-
gaged. When the SOLO's noise gate is enabled, it
will not become engaged until after you've set all fixed
filters and one dynamic filter (if the SOLO is configured
for any). Note: Resetting the number of fixed versus
dynamic filters also resets the noise gate to "off."
USING SABINE'S OPTIONAL SOLO ACCESSORIES
1-U rack tray (model # SL6RACK): An optional 1-
U rack tray holds up to six SOLOs (and/or Sabine's
SDA102 digital delays). Mount the SL820s, SM820s,
or a combination of both side by side on the tray. Use
only Sabine supplied screws; use of any other screws
may damage the SOLO and void the warranty.
IMPORTANT OPERATING CONSIDERATIONS
MEMORY: The FBX stores the positions and depths
of the filters in nonvolatile internal memory when the
unit is turned off or during a power failure. The unit will
return all filters to their previous frequencies and
depths when it is turned back on.
BYPASS MODE: Placing the FBX-SOLO in bypass
mode only shuts down the FBX function; the micro-
phone preamp still functions when the unit is in
bypass mode. The SOLO will not pass signal if the
power is off in either active or bypass mode.
