The DN514 Plus Quad Auto Gate consists of four identical channels and a master control section.
1. determines the level at which the gate will open, variable from -40dBu to +20dBu. A light
indicates when the threshold level has been exceeded and the gate is open.
2. (Attack) is semi automatic, with switchable Slow and Fast modes. Slow mode is intended for
use with most instruments and vocals. Fast is optimised for instruments with a fast attack time such as
precussion.
3. is adjustable from 40 milliseconds to 2 seconds. Hold time (the time the gate will remain
fully open before release) is scaled to the value of release time chosen. A light indicates via its
brightness the release profile.
4. applies low frequency filtering to the side chain of the gate from 20Hz to 5kHz, with a roll-off rate
of 12dB per octave.
5. applies high frequency filtering to the side chain of the gate from 20kHz down to 80Hz, with a roll-
off rate of 12dB per octave.
6. (Threshold) light indicates when the gate is open.
7. shows the release profile of the gate.
8. switches the gate in or out of circuit, working as a true Bypass.
9. switches the Ext Key signal to the S/C input to allow the gate to be triggered by an external
signal instead of the main signal.
10. switches the output of the side chain filter to the audio output of the gate, allowing the
engineer to assess the effects of the LF and HF filters.
11. forces the VCA's of all four gates to zero attenuation, effectively switching the unit out of
circuit.
12. links the release times of all four gates. Any one gate entering release mode will cause other
open gates to release at an equivalent rate, irrespective of the setting of their Release controls.
13. switches mains power on or off.
