Front Panel Controls

LIM THR, REC, LIM I/O (Limiter Section)

This is a 3-function group of controls comprising the following functions:

LIM

it 

THR

eshold 

The inner grey knob, variable from +4dBm to +15dBm, controls the 

threshold at which the limiting effect takes place.

Limit 

REC

overy

The outer metal knob, a switched attenuator with notched settings from 

50ms to 800 ms, controls the recovery time of the Limiter.  There are 
also two 

Auto

 settings, 

A1

 and 

A2

GAIN

 

The inner grey knob, variable from 0dB to +20dB, controls the make-up 

gain applied to compensate for level lost due to the compression 
process.

Compression 

RATIO

 

The outer metal knob, a switched attenuator, runs from 1.5:1 to 6:1 in 
notched increments, controlling the ratio of the Compressor section.

Control Voltage 

LINK

 

Push the inner grey knob to select whether the control voltage is derived 
internally or externally via Pin 6 of the Lunchbox

TM

 rack buss to allow 

linking with other 2264A LB units.  The LINK LED lights when external 
control is selected.
