ADJUSTMENT GAIN CONTROLS IN LOW/HIGH SHELVING AND MIDBAND:

(980112)

LOW SHELVING:

1) Apply a signal of 20 Hz, -20,0 dBU to the mike input.

2) Turn the

GAIN

-control at "0". Turn the freq. switch to "160Hz".

3) When switching between boost and cut, observe that the level is exactly the same

(<+/- 0,1dB).
Adjust with P5 located on the front PCB.

HIGH SHELVING:

1) Apply a signal of 20 kHz, -20,0 dBU to the mike input.

2) Turn the GAIN-control a "0". Turn the freq. switch to "4 kHz".

3) When switching between boost and cut, observe that the level is exactly the same

(<+/- 0,1dB).
Adjust with P7 located on the front PCB.

MIDBAND:

1) Apply a signal of 1kHz -20,0 dBU to the mike input..

2) Turn the

GAIN

-control a "0". Turn the

Freq

. switch to 1kHz

3) When switching between boost and cut, observe that the level is exactly the same

(<+/- 0,1dB).
Adjust with P2 located on the front PCB.

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

link 1.

4) Apply a signal of 1 kHz, -20,0 dBU into the input.

5) Adjust the

OUTPUTGAIN

-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 dBU.

7) If this is not the case, adjust the level with P 12, to obtain a drop of exactly -10,0 dB.
