We know how eager you are to get started, however we advise
that you take the time to read through this manual before storing
it in an easy to remember place for future reference. Within
this manual you’ll find helpful information on the operation and
treatment of your PCL unit.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
1. Couple Button
Pushing this button in will link the two channels of the PCL for
true stereo processing. When the channels are coupled, the
dynamics are then adjusted using the channel 1 controls. on the
PCL4700, channels 1 and 2 can be coupled and channels and 4
can be coupled – in these cases, channels 1 and will act as the
default control sections. The in/oUT, SC eXT, SC Mon, TUBe,
DeeSSer, MaLe, enHanCer, i/o MeTer switches and the
oUTPUT, De-eSSer LeVeL and enHanCer LeVeL controls
are unaffected, however.
EXPANDER/GATE
2. Trigger Control
This control will adjust the threshold for the expander/gate function
between oFF and +10 dB. The expander will set in below your
selected threshold.
3. Indicators
if the signal is below the value set by the Trigger control, the red
LeD will light up. if the signal is above the adjusted value, the
green LeD will light up.
4. Release Button
This will allow users to determine whether the PCL will have a
long or short release time, which will ultimately depend on your
requirements. Push the button in for a longer release time, ideal
for slowly decaying signals and signals with heavy reverb. Keep
the button released for a shorter reverb time, ideal for signals with
little to no reverb.
5. Gate Button
The gate button will allow users to swap between the gate and
expander functions. When the button is pushed in, the gate is
active; when the button is released, the expander is. Use the
gate function to affectively mute all signals below the selected
threshold.
