Connect the power adapter to DC IN.
Please make all connections before switching the unit ON.
The power switch has an orange indicator when pressed (also visible without power connected)

Connect your Audio-signal to INPUT LEFT and RIGHT. You can use 6,3mm mono or stereo plugs. If
you use stereo or symmetrical plugs the “ring” (negative signal) will internally bridged to ground.

PROTECTION
All inputs and outputs are protected against phantom power or other DC-voltages. Nevertheless
please be careful to switch phantom power off
switch phantom power off
switch phantom power off
switch phantom power off because the protection can degrade the audio-
signal!
SIDECHAIN
SIDECHAIN
SIDECHAIN
SIDECHAIN
With SIDECHAIN SEND and RETURN you can influence the control voltage of the compressor. You can
insert an Equalizer, for example, to influence the frequency-range the compressor will compress.
You can also insert a different audio signal (only the bassdrum for example) for the compressor to react
differently.
Important: The external sidechain is NOT in the signal-path. You only handle control-voltage which
influences the VCA-compressor.
If no plug is inserted the SIDECHAIN is out of the chain. If you plug something in the SEND or RETURN
plug the control-voltage is interrupted. As long as there is no external device connected and only a plug
is inserted, the compressor won't work! No sidechain – no compression.
Connect the output of your external device to SEND and the input to RETURN
The Sidechain is MONO. You can plug mono or stereo plugs in the sidechain. The “ring” of a stereo-
connector is internally not connected.
