respond less to the bass, allowing it to do its job of controlling the vocals.

On the other hand, you might want to have a vocal or a drum beat 
deliberately “duck” the rest of the mix for special effect. Tune the 

Note that none of this external equalization is audible as such.

external 

equalizer to the frequencies of the instrument you want to emphasize, then 
adjust the 'COMPRESS' control so that the compressor only operates 
when those frequencies are present.

5) The Stereo Width doesn't work

!

 Is the 'ON' switch in (LED on)?

!

 Is only one input connected?

!

 Is the programme material mono?

6) Too much noise

!

 Is the 'Input Gain' control too high (eg: the input signal is too small)?

!

 Is the noise already present in the input signal? (Try removing the 

input).

!

 Is the 'Make Up Gain' control too high (eg: when lots of compression is 

being used)? 

!

 Try using the GR Hold function to compensate for compressor-

accentuated noise.

7) Sounds distorted

!

 Is the 'Input Gain' control too high?

!

 When using the compressor, is the Release control set too low?

!

 Is the GR Hold on with the control set too low?

1) No Power (no lights work)

!

 Is the power supply plugged in (both ends)?

!

 Is the mains power on?

!

 Has a mains fuse blown?

2) The Inputs don't work

!

 Is the source connected to the jack inputs on the back of the unit?

!

 Is the 'Input Gain' control turned up?

3) The compressor doesn't work

!

 Is the 'Comp' switch in (LED on)?

!

 Is the 'Compress' control turned up enough?

!

 Is there enough signal, as set by the 'Input Gain' control, to drive the 

compressor?

!

 Is the 'Slope' control turned up enough?

4) Too little or too much compression

!

 Turn the 'Input Gain' control up or down respectively, to adjust the 

signal level to the compressor.

!

 Turn the 'Slope control up or down respectively.
