Drawmer TS2 Dual Tube Compressor - Manual (Page 8)

Tube Station 2 OPERATORS’ MANUAL 6
OUTPUT SECTION
Output Gain The output level may be adjusted between !30dB’s and +5dB’s
to compensate for level changes caused by compression and
limiting.
Limit
This is a Hard level limiter fixed at +16dB (ref +4dBu). A led
indicates when limiting occurs.
Meters
A eight-section LED meter display the signal level (from !35dB
to 0dB) that is sent to the Digital Output (if fitted).
Analogue Output
Sets the overall Analogue output level of the channel from Off to
+16dB. Adjusting this control does not change the meter levels.
Bypass
Switches the unit into Bypass to allow comparison with the input
signal, illuminates the status LED.
LINKING
Stereo Link
Depressing this switch configures the unit in stereo mode where
the left hand channel controls act as masters for both audio
channels. The same degree of gain reduction is applied to both
audio channels to prevent image shifting which would otherwise
occur whenever the left and right signal dynamics varied from
each other by any significant degree.
Note that whilst the knobs are linked and controlled by the left
channel (ch1) the switches, Tube Active and Bypass, remain
independent for each channel.
