You can use the cursor key to choose either the value or the condition to be changed. The active edit field will
be highlighted by being displayed inverted. You can change status or value by using the softkeys marked
/ or / respectively.
STEREOLINK
ON
The intelligent STEREOLINK function links the two channels, forming a stereo pair, in which all adjustments
made have an equal, simultaneous effect on both channels. It is important to understand that this also applies
when the two channels have different response curves set! The edits performed will make adjustments of equal
value, independent of the original settings. For example: right channel, fader 4 was at +3, increasing 5 dB bring
it to +8. Left channel, fader was at -4. It will be moved to +1 (in other words, the incremental changes are the
same on both channels, but the absolute settings may still differ from each other). A further point to watch out
for is the situation where a fader on one channel has been raised by a value which will take the corresponding
fader on the other, linked channel above the maximum boost which the ULTRA-CURVE PRO is capable of
making, namely 16 dB. Because this is not possible, all the other faders will be automatically attenuated by
the appropriate amount, and the master channel fader will be raised in compensation, in order to achieve the
desired frequency response.
OFF
switches off the channel link. The two channels can now be set fully independent of each other.
CROSSFADE
The CROSSFADE function causes a “soft” or gradual transition from one program when switching into another.
This helps prevent any clicks or other noises, which can be caused by very sudden changes to a program. The
faders are seen to creep to their new positions on the display. You may choose the time taken for this to occur,
from 0 to 15 seconds being allowed. Please note that a setting of 0 seconds results in a “hard” switch over,
possibly causing the noises mentioned above.
SHELVING SLOPE
This is a tool which you can use to easily add high shelving, low shelving and bell-shaped response curves to
the Graphic Equalizer. The pictograms representing this tool are / / (see section 2.1.5 on
previous page).
LIMIT THRESHOLD
The ULTRA-CURVE PRO has an integrated DIGITAL LIMITER to protect against overloading and resulting
distortion. Its Attack Time is zero, in other words, it reacts “in advance”. This way it acts as a real “brickwall”
and can be used in combination with the security password to create a absolute limiter to prevent noise
pollution.
The operating threshold of the LIMITER can be set, in 1 dB steps, anywhere from 0 dB down to -36 dB. The
levels given in dB are relative to the maximum output signal (Dig Max) of the ULTRA-CURVE PRO (0 dB Dig
Max equates to +16 dBu or +14dBV). Additionally, you can deactivate the LIMITER by choosing the setting
OFF.
LIMIT RELEASE
When the signal falls below the limiter threshold, the gain reduction is returned to zero. The rate of change is
governed by a time constant (release time) which can be defined between 0.5 and 5 seconds
