QUICK START
Shredded, this document makes excellent packing material. In its present form, it makes interesting and useful reading.
If you run out of patience quickly, at least read this part to make sure you don’t exterminate everything within a two mile
radius by doing something wrong.
Attach one or two channels of inputs and outputs to the respective connectors on the rear.
This device uses low imped-
ance balanced line drivers.
Do not
connect the XLR “+” or “–” output pins to ground, as this may cause the power supply
to shut down. For unbalanced use, leave the unused output pin (“+” or “–”) unterminated.
With the
RATIO
turned all the way
down
at
1:1
,
THRESHOLD
turned all the way
up
to
20 dBu,
and the
LEVEL
controls in their
center
at
0 dB,
you have an expensive patch cord.
While sending a signal to the MC 22, adjust the
INPUT LEVEL
so the
+4 dBu
LED lights occasionally, but the
OL
LED does not light. Now increase the
RATIO
to something useful, like
2:1
(with the control set at 2, the Ratio is 2:1; at 5,
it is 5:1.) Adjust the
THRESHOLD
to the point you want the Compressor to kick in. The
GAIN REDUCTION
meter
reads the amount of signal compression.
Both Compressors will activate by the source material applied to either Channel if the
LINK
switch is
ON
. This is the
preferred setting for stereo program material.
