is the master, and Channel 2 is the slave. Each of the Channel 2 controls and
switches will be overridden and controlled by Channel 1 except the Bypass
switch which will remain independent. Also, Channel 2’s 3-LED Threshold Meter
will be disabled, while both channels’ Gain Reduction Meters will identically
indicate the amount of gain reduction occurring. It is important to note that
while Channel 1 is the master as far as the controls go, both channels have
equal precedence as far as signal processing is concerned. The 262 uses True
RMS Power Summing™, an extremely accurate and musical way to combine
detector outputs in a stereo situation. The LED adjacent to the switch will be lit
when switched to stereo couple mode.
INPUT Jacks:
The input jacks accept a standard 1/4” TRS phone plug for a
balanced input source, or a standard 1/4” TS phone plug for an unbalanced
source.
OUTPUT Jack:
The output jacks accept a standard 1/4” TRS phone plug for dri-
ving balanced lines, or a standard 1/4” TS phone plug for driving unbalanced
lines.
AC Power Receptacle:
This receptacle accepts an IEC-type power cord (as
shipped with the unit). Check that the AC power markings below the AC power
connector are correct for your area. (Either 100/120V, or 230V.) Plug the cord
into the unit and mains power. Note that the 262 does not have a power
switch. It is recommended that the 262 be “On” at all times. Power consump-
tion is low. If you do not plan to use the 262 for an extended period of time,
unplug it.
Connection to an inappropriate power source may result in
extensive damage which is not covered by the warranty.
The 262 has balanced inputs and outputs, and can be used with any line-level
device. Some common examples include: mixing consoles, patch bays and
other signal processors.
For all connections, refer to the following steps:
1. Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
2. Mount the 262 in a 1U rack space (optional).
The 262 requires one rack space (height). It can be mounted above or below
anything that doesn’t generate excessive heat, since it requires no special venti-
lation. Ambient temperatures should not exceed 113˚F (45˚C) when equipment
