q
GATE/EXPANDER and COMPRESSOR BYPASS switch.
When this switch is in the GATE/EXPANDER and COMPRES-
SOR functions are inactive and the corresponding controls do nothing. With the switch in the out position these circuits are
active.
w
GATE/EXPANDER THRESHOLD control and LED.
This sets the input level below which the GATE/EXPANDER function
operates. The LED illuminates any time the signal falls below the threshold set by the control.
e
GATE RATIO switch.
This switch determines the ratio to be applied to the GATE/EXPANDER function. Higher ratios mean
steeper drop-off slopes, lower ratios are usually more transparent.
r
COMPRESSOR THRESHOLD control and LED.
This determines the input level above which the compressor functions.
Full CW rotation disables the COMPRESSOR entirely.This LED illuminates any time the signal exceeds the threshold set by the
control.
t
COMPRESSOR RATIO control.
This determines the slope of compression once the threshold has been exceeded. Full CCW
rotation effectively disables the compressor.
y
GAIN REDUCTION METER.
This seven-segment meter indicates the amount of signal reduction, below unity, applied to
the audio signal by both the GATE/EXPANDER and COMPRESSOR. The GATE/EXPANDER & COMPRESSOR BYPASS
switch has no effect on this meter, as it still shows gain reduction at current settings.
u
EQ bypass switch.
When this switch is in, the EQ section is not functional and the corresponding controls do nothing. In the
out position the EQ is active.
i
EQ FREQUENCY control.
This determines the center frequency of the bandpass equalizer.
o
EQ FREQUENCY RANGE switch.
This is a multiplier for the EQ FREQUENCY control. This allows each EQ to cover the
full audio range and still provide excellent resolution with a single EQ FREQUENCY control.
p
EQ LEVEL control.
This determines the amount of boost or cut applied to the audio signal. When this control is in the center
detent, this band of EQ is has no effect on the signal path. When this control is in grounded center detent, the band of the EQ is
out of the circuit.
