PK REDUCTION (MONO - LINK)
When operating in stereo or multi-channel mode, there is the option to LINK the triggering ac-
tion of each channel. The PK REDUCTION mode switch can be used for MONO or LINK op-
eration. It is also connected to the LINK jacks (found on the real panel) for interconnection of
additional L2M units (5.1) or external triggering of limiting action.
PK REDUCTION - OPERATIONAL NOTE:
Though it is customary to LINK when processing stereo material, keep in mind that the forgiv-
ing nature of the optical attenuators found in the L2M allows for mono operation when process-
ing most stereo material. We encourage experimentation in this regard.
LINK allows each channel to “see” what the other channel “sees”. LINK does not link parame-
ters. In other words, when processing stereo material, be sure to adjust the controls of both
channels to identical settings. In link mode, a single PEAK REDUCTION knob can initiate gain
reduction in both channels, however, you will not be able to get balanced LIMITER RESPONSE
or RATIO without both channel’s controls adjusted to the same settings.
METER SELECT
GR/+4/+10 Meter Mode Select - When METER SELECT is placed in the GR position, the meter
will indicate the amount of gain reduction and/or peak limiting in -dB. The meter is calibrated
(see ZERO ADJ CALIBRATION) to read 100% or 0dB during periods of no gain reduction.
When the selector switch is placed in the +4 position, the VU meter will indicate the balanced
output level (post gain reduction) as 0 = +4dBu (0.775v).
When the selector switch is placed in the +10 position, the VU meter will indicate the balanced
output level (post gain reduction) as 0 = +10dBu (2.45V).
