Ghost Meters 

The inputs of the CL44 are not designed to be overdriven. In the event that you do overdrive the inputs on one or two 
channels, the meters of the other two channels (if not in use) may show activity. This “ghost activity” is not signal bleed, it 
is sidechain crosstalk. It will not change or affect the processing power or ability of your unit. 
 

Installing the GTX44 into an Existing Rack 

If you are installing your CL44 into an existing equipment rack, it may be necessary to purchase some additional cabling. 
Most dynamics processors use a 1/4” TRS Y shaped insert cable to connect to a console. The CL44 is designed to connect to 
a console using one 1/4” TRS cable. A 1/4” TRS Y male to dual female cable may need to connect the CL44 to an existing 
audio snake. Once the cabling is connected, you only need to press the FLIP switch if the sends/returns are not matched up 
properly.
