Stereo Couple
The Stereo couple button is used to select either Stereo or Dual mono modes on the 1074. To
couple channels as stereo pairs, press the Stereo Couple between each pair. When this proce-
dure is performed, the odd-numbered channel becomes the master, and the even-numbered
channel, becomes the slave. The slave channel’s controls, buttons and LEDs will be disabled,
and control for both channels of the pair is controlled via the master channel’s controls.
With the stereo couple button out, each channels of the pair (1&2) or (3&4) function as two
separate mono gates. Each channels has its own independent controls.
Stereo Couple LED
The Stereo Couple LED indicates that the two channels are stereo-coupled.
Threshold Control
Adjusting the this control sets the level at which the gate will open and allow the signal at
the input to pass through to the output. Turning the knob fully counter clockwise (to off)
allows the gate to pass all signals unattenuated effectively bypassing the gate. Turning the
knob fully clockwise causes the gate attenuate input signals below +10dBu. The amount of
attenuation depends on the setting of the depth control.
Depth Control
This control sets the amount of attenuation applied to the signal once it is below the threshold.
Release Control
Adjusting the RELEASE control sets how fast the gate closes once the input signal falls below
the threshold. The release rate is from .01 seconds (fully counter clockwise) to 3 seconds
(fully clockwise).
Note: The gate release rate is accelerating, in that the dB/Sec rate continually increases as the
gate closes.
