Example B: MaxxBCL as a drum/bass controller (inserted in a sub-
group where drums and/or bass are assigned)
Connection:
Using an insert cable, Connect the insert point on your console to the Maxx-
BCL’s analog inputs and outputs.
Aside from its usual peak limiting functions, the MaxxBCL also can be a
great FX (effects) processor capable of truly slamming your drums or turn-
ing a wimpy bass sound into a huge low end.
Example C: Digital mixing desk insert/FX (recording/mixing)
Connection:
Connect a send point or an insert point from the mixing desk to the appro-
priate digital input of the MaxxBCL. Connect the MaxxBCL’s digital output to
the Send/Insert return point.
If your console has word clock, it can be used, although it is easier to simply
select D (Digital) on the MaxxBCL’s front panel Sync selector. In case you are
using a master word clock to sync several devices, you can use the word
clock sync input on the MaxxBCL, and select the WC (word clock) sync
source. In either situation your mixer will be the master clock.
Set Threshold for the desired amount of limiting. Adjust Limiter Ceiling for
appropriate “return” signal level. If you want unity-gain processing, set Ceil-
ing to be exactly equal to Threshold, and turn on the Link option. With light
to medium limiting, your return signal will be very nearly unity gain, with
precisely controlled peaks. With heavier limiting, you’ll have to increase the
Ceiling level to have the same perceived loudness as before the MaxxB-
CL’s limiting.
