and the RATIO (13) control low (fully counterclockwise). This is a
very low compression setting. To increase the amount of
compression, lower the THRESHOLD (12) control and increase
the RATIO (13) control until the desired amount is achieved.
USING THE SIDE CHAIN (19)
To use the SIDE CHAIN (19) to directly access the compressor
circuitry you'll need an insert cable like the one shown above. The
Tip-Ring-Sleeve stereo end plugs into the TMP-3 SIDE CHAIN
lack. The 1/4" SEND plug connects to the Input of a signal
processor such as an equalizer, the 1/4" RETURN plug connects
to the signal processor Output. The signal in the SIDE CHAIN is
not heard on the Output of the TMP-3, it only effects the action of
the compressor. The higher the level of signal in the SIDE CHAIN,
the more compression will occur.
EQUALIZER SETTINGS (7,8,9,10)
Begin with all controls set at 0 or center detente position. This is
the equivalent of a "bypass". Adjusting the LEVEL (15) controls
will increase or decrease the amount of the indicated frequency
range. The MID SWEEP (9) control adjusts the actual frequency
that the MID LEVEL (8) control will adjust.
USING THE PROCESSES TOGETHER
Increasing the Mic Preamp GAIN settings to the point where slight
distortion occurs will effect the overall frequency content of the
output signal. EQ adjustments may need to be made. Experiment
with different settings until you've achieved the desired sound.
