ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE:

 

 

CAUTION: 

 

Before making any adjustment let the unit heat-up at least 15 min. 
Observe that the offset-voltage measured at the side chain jack socket, when the 
THRESHOLD is off, is not greater than +/- 15 mV DC in both position "fixed" and "manual".  
(tip is bus 1 and ring is bus 2).

 

 
If the voltage exceeds this value, replace either IC1 or IC2. 
 

For serial no. up to 15891 

THE GRE SHALL BE MARKED BETWEEN 1.225-1.285

  

 
For serial no. 15892 and onwards

 

THE GRE SHALL BE MARKED BETWEEN W1.20- W1.50

  

 

 
 
ADJUSTMENT OF BASIC GAIN:

 

 
1) 

Apply a signal of 1 kHz, -30,0 dBU into the input of the compressor. 

 

2) 

Turn the 

GAIN-

control fully clockwise. 

 
3) 

Set the 

RATIO-

control at 2:1 

 

4) 

Adjust the pre-set 

GAIN

 (located on amp/psu PCB) to an output-reading of 0,0 dBU. 

 

 
ADJUSTMENT OF COMPRESSION TRACKING

 

1) 

Turn the 

THRESHOLD

-control fully counter-clockwise. 

 

2) 

Set the 

RATIO-

control at 2:1. 

 
3) 

Set the 

BUS-select

-switch at 1. 

 
4) 

Apply a signal of 1 kHz, 0,0 dBU into the input of the compressor. 

 

5) 

Adjust the 

GAIN

-control to an output-reading of 0,0 dBU.  

 
6) 

Apply a DC-voltage of +250,0 mV into the side chain jack socket (tip) and observe that the 

output level has dropped to -10,0 dB. 

 
7) 

If this is not the case, adjust the level with P 2 (P 1)*, to obtain a drop of exactly -10,0 dB. 

 
 

The trimpots in parenthesis refers to PCB 870316-0,1,2
