The delay circuits of the phase rotators synthesize the symmetry of the waveform for vocal audio
through the passband. By doing this, the upper and lower crests of the vocal waveform are processed
more evenly.
When to use the Phase Rotators:
For heavier processing situations, use of the Phase Rotators helps cut down on clipper induced
distortion on voices. For lighter processing requirements, the phase rotators can be defeated.
The Phase Rotators can be turned on and off by using the jog wheel to select the Phase Rotators
function in the Leveler Menu and pressing the Enter button until the desired status is highlighted.
When you are finished, turn the jog wheel to operate another function or press the Escape button to
return to the Home Screen.
Wide Band AGC
The Wide Band AGC that reacts as if it was a “slow hand” on the output of the audio console so that
the levels coming into the Unity AM are always within a consistent window. This slow acting gain
control circuit provides ±10dB of leveling. Imagine, if you will, someone that would continually
insure that the output of the audio console was always within a specific level. The “platform leveling”
control circuit for the AGC is intelligent enough to know that if the incoming audio level is correct it
will shut down its operation and wait until gain correction is needed. The AGC is therefor only
operating when needed, eliminating the constant seeking of unneeded level changes.
When to use the Wide Band AGC:
Generally the Wide Band AGC should be left on. Only when you are certain that the levels you are
sending to the Unity AM are extremely consistent should you turn the Wide Band AGC off. . Since
the Wide Band AGC actually turns itself off, automatically, when not required, there is no benefit to
taking it out of service. Another reason to keep the Wide Band AGC engaged is that it prevents the
multi-band Levelers from “working too hard.”
The Wide Band AGC can be turned on and off by using the jog wheel to select the Wide Band AGC
function in the Leveler Menu and pressing the Enter button until the desired status is highlighted.
When you are finished, turn the jog wheel to operate another function or press the Escape button to
return to the Home Screen.
