Compressing A significant difference in dynamic range is achieved simply by changing the
relationship between nominal signal level and threshold, as a result of either
increasing the GAIN and/or decreasing the TRESHOLD control. The most interesting
effect to be noted, however, is seen by comparing the original input signal with the
output signal. The quietest portions of the original signal will be effectively increased in
volume while the loudest portions of the original signal will be decreased. In effect,
both ends of the dynamic spectrum will be pushed toward the ‘middle’. More than
anything else, it is this double-ended effect, which distinguishes compressing from
limiting.
3. Connectors & Cables
The unit has three different connector types:
•
¼‘‘ stereo TRS jacks
•
3-Pin XLR
•
Euroblocks
These three connectors facilitate interfacing to most professional audio products. Both inputs and
outputs can be used balanced or unbalanced.
If you must use unbalanced connectors, the negative lead of the connector should be tied to the
ground lead. Using unbalanced connections could result in chassis ground-loop noise. Altering the
signal/chassis ground relationship in equipment connected to your unit may eliminate the noise.
