Fig 11.5 METER INPUT
switch
The METER INPUT switch is used in conjunction with the OUTPUT LEVEL
meter to allow the input signal to be displayed. The switch has a momentary
action to ensure that the meter is not inadvertently left showing input level
(See figure 11.5).
Compression Meters
This switch will change the output connector of the DPR-402 from the normal
compressor output, and connect it to the return of the control side chain
insertion point. This will allow monitoring of any external equipment which is
connected to the unit to assist in its setting up (See figure 11.6). For
applications and a description of side chain insertions please refer to sections
13 and 14.
This facility becomes extremely useful when used in conjunction with the
BYPASS switch. During initial setting up of routines and prior to going 'on-air',
the signal output level will be different from the input. Utilising this meter
input switch will enable the input and output levels to be compared on the
same display, and adjustments can then be made accordingly with the GAIN
control to ensure that the input and output levels are similar (the GAIN control
will only affect the output signal level). Once satisfied of this condition,
operation of the BYPASS switch will ensure an unnoticable 'drop-in'.
