Xtreme
Sec. 5-8 Voice Bass Boost
Xtreme II
is able to recognise the voice from the rest of the program and, thanks to this control, it activates a pleasant full
bodied, thrusting effect that is great to listen to..
This control is fully transparent during a music programme and, in any event, does not create anything artificial, leaving
a clean sound (both voice and music).
We advise you to leave this ON
Sec. 5-9 Gate Threshold
This prevents
Xtreme
recuperating ground noise during silent pauses, because, by switching on the GATED indicator
light on the display, it locks out the bands preventing the bands from gaining ground noise.
We recommend -45dB
Sec. 5-10 AGC On Off
Activates the input pre-leveller, without which
Xtreme
could change the timbre according to level.
Always leave it ON
Sec. 5-11 AGC Drive
For piloting AGC.
When the machine is aligned with respect to the mixer (see installation chapter), adjust this control in order to “SQUASH”
the AGC bar to -10 -15 dB in the event of a fully modulated programme ( 0 dB ON MIXER )
Sec. 5-12 AGC Release
For fixing the speed at which the AGC follows the sound.
1 slower (for a very classic, stable, original sound)
20 fast (for a full, dense, rich sound)
We recommend 10 - 15 dB/sec
Sec. 5-13 Multi Band Drive
The higher is the level, the more the sound is compressed and therefore less dynamic. This causes a higher middle
modulation.
Too much compression can, in time, cause tiredness while listening.
Optimal compression is in the range of -5 to -15 dB
We advise you to set this control between 10 and 15
