apply gain to bring the processed signal back up to unity
(same as input level). To properly set the output level,
adjust the control while switching between Active and
Bypass. When these two levels are equal in volume, the out-
put control is set properly.

The four-LED meter is provided to give a visual indication
of how much compression is taking place. The Threshold
LED will light when the input signal reaches the set thresh-
old level. The remaining three LEDs indicate how much the
signal is being compressed. Their values are -3dB, -6dB and
-12dB.

The main application of the Dual Levelar is to control the
dynamic range of a signal level. Plug a line level (post pre-
amplifier or other gain stage) source into either input and
set the threshold and output controls to provide the
desired amount of compression to the input signal.

Because of its low noise and excellent tonal qualities, the
Dual Levelar is ideal for running mixes through before
recording to DAT or cassette. Used as a mastering device,
the Dual Levelar is capable of adding warmth and impact to
the overall signal level.

The musical nature of the Dual Levelar makes it ideal for
use on a wide range of instruments and vocals. Place the
Dual Levelar into a channel insert, after a preamplifier, or
from a direct output of a channel of a mixer. Adjust the
controls of the Dual Levelar to achieve the desired amount
of compression.
