CP 52 - FRONT PANEL

 

PAGING TRIM

 control adjusts the Page Input preamplifier gain to match the microphone/source in use, 

not

 to set the Page

level in the Zone Output. The range is 30 dB to 60 dB.

 PAGING MIC/LINE 

switch selects a 30 dB Input Pad when set to LINE. 

Phantom Power is disabled when LINE is selected.

 PAGING DETECT THRESHOLD

 sets the Page signal level required to gate a Page 

on

 and illuminate the ACTIVE

indicator (see 

). The range is -

∞ 

(on) to +4 dBu.

 PAGING OL (Overload) 

indicator lights when the Page Input preamplifier comes within 3 dB of clipping.

 ACTIVE 

indicator lights when the Page signal level reaches the Paging Detect Threshold. 

Note that a Page is always Active

when the PAGING DETECT THRESHOLD is set to minimum (ccw).

 PAGING LEVEL 

control adjusts the Paging Level in the Zone.

 PAGING LIMIT THRESHOLD

 control sets the maximum output level for a Page. This is a true voltage Limiter circuit

with a ratio of 15:1. The Threshold range is -20 dBu to +20 dBu. The 

THRESHOLD

 indicator lights during limiting.

 PROGRAM INPUT LEVEL

 controls allow independent adjustment of level for each Program Input.

 

ZONE DUCKER DEPTH 

control

 

sets the Ducker Depth (the amount of Program attenuation during a Page) from 50 dB

(ccw) to 6 dB (cw). The Ducker 

release

 is ramped.

 ZONE DUCKER OFF/ON

 switch turns the Ducker ON or OFF.

 ZONE PROGRAM SELECT 

switch assigns one of four Program Inputs to the Zone Output.

 ZONE RMT 

switch, when pushed 

in

, turns control of Zone Level and Zone Program Selection over to the Zone Remote

Port. Front panel ZONE LEVEL and ZONE PROGRAM SELECT controls are 

inactive

 when RMT is selected. An optional

wired ZR 1 remote may be connected to the Zone Remote Port. 

An object smaller in diameter than the switch button is

required to engage the RMT switch.

 ZONE SIG/OL

 indicators show Signal present at -20 dBu and Overload at +16 dBu (4 dB before clipping) respectively.

 ZONE LEVEL 

control

 

adjusts the overall Level for the Zone Output. If the rear panel PAGE LEVEL TRACKS ZONE

LEVEL switch is ON, this control also effects the Paging Level.

 ZONE LIMIT THRESHOLD

 control sets the maximum level for the Zone Output. This is a true voltage Limiter circuit

with a ratio of 15:1. The Threshold range is -20 dBu to +20 dBu. The 

THRESHOLD 

indicator lights during Limiting.

 GRAPHIC EQUALIZER 

controls are “stereo,” with each slider controlling the response of both Left and Right channels.

These controls allow ±12 dB adjustment of seven ISO center frequencies on 1

1

/

3

 octave centers.

 PWR

 indicator lights when the CP 52 is connected to a powered RS 1 power supply.
