Dynamics Cassette
(Part number
SMN 812–412
)
The assembly number is
AM 5645
.
The Dynamics cassette provides 8 channels with Dynamics processing
(Compressor and Gate, including the provision of an external Key Input).
This external Key Input is available on both the Gate and Compressor.
Without this card, the
DYN
button (and LED) on each channel strip will
not function.
The
DYN
button under the on the Monitor Panel will also be locked out.
When the Dynamics cassette is present, the parameters are set using the
four encoders on the Monitor Panel.
Installation Instructions
•
Remove the power to the console.
•
Ensure the switch settings have been set correctly for this card's
position. See
Appendix A
for the Switch Settings on page 226.
•
Remove the ventilation facing plate on the rear of the console, and
remove the
Key Input
blanking plate in the centre.
•
Slide the Dynamics cassette into the middle slot and push the card
firmly to the rear until the connectors mate securely onto the
backplane.
•
Screw the faceplate back into place, ensuring the Key Input D-type
connector and two adjacent pillars comfortably clear the faceplate
surface.
•
Secure the Key Input D-type connector in place through the faceplate
using the pillars and two screws.
Operational Considerations
If you have an EQ processing cassette installed, it will only be possible to
place the EQ on the Channel path
or
the Monitor path on a channel, not
across both.
Likewise, the Compressor and Gate can only exist on the Channel
or
Monitor path - it is not possible to have the Compressor on the Input and
the Gate on the Monitor path (or vice versa).
