GATE SECTION
The gate section works independently from the compressor but is designed to
complement it's functionality. The gate is not designed to be a “Hard” cut-off gate
control, but is designed to be an analogue gentle and musical gate that gently drops
the background noise by -15dB making it less obvious that a gate has been employed.
THRSH Rotary:
This is the
Threshold
control for the gate. Threshold settings:
From 0 to -40.
Link Switch:
The N90 can be linked in any multiple you like (up to 8 modules) by
utilizing Pin 6 of the 500 Series compatible rack. Pin 6 is designated as the
Stereo
Link
Pin. Usually Pin 6 is linked in pairs, or is bussed. Please see your 500 series
compatible rack manual for information about how to link the pins.
When N90's are linked via Pin 6 it is always the left-most module that takes
command when the units are in Link mode. The Link switch must be switched down
for the N90 to be in link mode.
Link Scenario:
If you have a rack with 8 x N90's installed and Pin 6 is “bussed”
on channels 1 to 6. with channel 7 and 8 only linked to each other.
Switching channels 1 to 6
Link
Switch
down will link the 6 modules together and
all 6 channels will follow channel 1.
If you then switch channels 3 and 4
Link
Switch up, channels 2, 3, 5 and 6 will
continue to follow channel 1, but channels 3 and 4 will work completely
independently.
At all times channel 7 and 8 would operate independently of each other and the
other channels, or could be linked together by switching both
Link
switches down,
in which case channel 7 would take control of channel 8.
