Auto Attack Time:
Program dependent, typically 15 ms for 10dB, 5 ms for 20dB, 3 ms
for 30dB.
Auto Release Time:
Program dependent, typically 120dB/sec.
Output Gain:
-20 to +20dB.
LIMITER
Threshold Range:
+4dBu to >+30dBu (off).
Ratio:
4:1
Limiter
Type:
PeakStopPlus
®
two-stage limiter.
Stage 1:
Instantaneous Transient Clamp
®
.
Attack
Time:
Zero
Release
Time:
Zero
Stage 2:
Intelligent Predictive Limiting
®
.
Attack Time:
Program dependent, typically <5 msec.
Release Time:
Program dependent, typically 22dB/sec.
FUNCTION SWITCHES
Sidechain:
Routes external sidechain input signal to the detector.
OverEasy
®
:
Activates the OverEasy‚ compression function.
Auto:
Activates automatic program-dependent attack and release times,
disabling the manual attack and release controls.
PeakStopPlus
®
:
Activates the Intelligent Predictive Limiting
®
(Stage 2) section of the limiter.
Bypass:
Activates the direct input-to-output hard-wire relay bypass. Relay
automatically hard-wire bypasses unit at power-down and provides a
power-on delay of 1.5 seconds.
Input:
Monitors the input signal and shows its level on the VU meter. Peak
indicator lights for signals >+27dBu.
Output:
Monitors the output signal and shows its level on the VU meter. Peak
indicator lights for signals >+27dBu.
GR:
Monitors the compressor and PeakStopPlus‰ limiter and displays the
total amount of gain reduction on the lower scale of the VU meter.
Pin 1 Lift (Rear Panel)
Lifts pin 1 of the input XLR from chassis ground.
Unbal (Rear Panel)
Unbalances the output. A 6dB drop in level will occur.
Ground (Rear Panel)
In Balanced Mode: references the center tap of the output transformer
to chassis ground through a 10kΩ resistor. In Unbalanced Mode:
references pin 3 of the output XLR and the center tap of the
transformer to chassis ground.
INDICATORS
Compressor Threshold Meter:
3 LED indicators at Below, OverEasy
®
, and Above.
Sidechain:
1 LED to indicate when external sidechain is selected.
Auto:
1 LED to indicate when Auto mode is selected.
PeakStopPlus‰:
1 Bi-Color LED. When PeakStopPlus
®
function is not engaged, the
LED will be off when signal is below Stop Level threshold, and will
light red when signal is above threshold. When PeakStopPlus
®
function is engaged, the LED will be green when signal is below Stop
Level threshold, and will turn red when signal is above threshold.
Bypass:
1 LED to indicate when 160SL is bypassed.
Input/Output/GR
3 LEDs to indicate which meter mode is selected. Green for input
level, yellow for output level, and red for gain reduction.
