1.  Inputs/outputs 

Your unit Compressor/Limiter is provided with three different connector types: ¼’’ TRS (tip-

ring-sleeve) jacks, XLR connectors and Euroblocks. Inputs are 20k

 active balanced using 

1% metal film resistors, outputs are 132

 servo-balanced.  

 

2.  Detector Loop 

The Compressor/Limiters have a TRS insert DETECTOR PATCH point which can be used as 

a ‘ducking’ input, or in conjunction with an equalizer to produce frequency-sensitive limiting. 

Various uses of the detector patch are discussed under ‘Typical applications’. 

 

3.  Power switch 

 

5.  Installation 

 

Use four screws and washers when rack mounting the unit. For mobile use, the unit should be further 

secured as appropriate.  

5.1. General requirements 

 

The unit has specific physical, electrical and signal requirements for proper operation. These 

requirements will vary depending on your specific application, setup, and the settings on the unit. 

When setting up and testing your system, please take special care to double check all connections 

and settings. Please refer to the specifications section of this manual for specific input, output and 

other figures.  

5.2. AC Power 

 

Your unit equalizer should be connected to standard 3-wire grounded electrical outlet supplying 100-

240V, 50-60Hz. To reduce the risk of ground loop hum, connect all audio equipment to the same 

electrical power source. Removal of the ground pin is both unlawful and dangerous, as a potential 

shock hazard could result.
