All warnings on this equipment and in the operating instructions should be adhered
to and all operating instructions should be followed.
Do not use this equipment near water. Care should be taken so that objects do
not fall and liquids are not spilled into the unit through any openings.
The power cord should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long
period of time.

ANY TIME. DO NOT TAMPER WITH INTERNAL ELECTRONIC
COMPONENTS AT ANY TIME.  FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS MAY VOID THE WARRANTY OF THIS EQUIPMENT, AS
WELL AS CAUSING SHOCK HAZARD.

POWER REQUIREMENTS

This unit accepts power from the 9VAC/1.5A adaptor supplied with the unit.
This 9 volt RMS AC voltage is internally processed by a voltage doubler which
generates a bipolar ±15 volts to maintain the headroom and sound quality of
professional, studio quality equipment. Using an external power source such as
this minimizes excessive noise and hum problems often associated with internal
transformers, providing optimal performance for the user.

OPERATING TEMPERATURE

Do not expose this unit to excessive heat. This unit is designed to operate between
32° F and 104° F (0° C and 40° C). This unit may not function properly under
extreme temperatures.

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Rocktron HUSH

®

 Super C!

Designed for guitar applications, the Super C utilizes the latest in our HUSH noise

reduction technology combined with the latest V.I.R. (Variable Integrated Release)
circuitry configured as a noise gate. This combination provides extremely effective noise
reduction while playing and complete silence when not.

Although the Super C is a stereo noise reduction system, a single HUSH Threshold

and Gate Threshold are used to control both channels.

This manual will introduce you to the various features and functions of the Super C.

Please keep it for future reference.
