 User Manual

Overshoot 1-6

This parameter sets the amount of overshoot for the Instantaneous Transient Clamp™.  

 3.14 - Delay 

The parameters for the delay are as follows and are user adjustable:

Delay On/Off 

Turns the delay on and off.

Length 

Sets the amount of delay time. 

Units - Seconds, Feet or Meters

Selects the unit of measurement for the delay.

 3.15 - Output 

The output section 220i DriveRack provide the user with the ability to control output levels of the 
unit and adjust phase compensation of loudspeakers within the signal path. The output level control is 
located in the signal path before the compressor/limiters; this means that the compressor/limiter directly 
affects the output level. The parameters for the Phase Compensation effect are as follows and are user 
adjustable. 

Polarity/Phase On/Off

This parameter is used to turn the selected output phase and polarity on parameters on or off. When off, 
the phase is 0

and polarity is positive.
